"A FRIaHTFUL LEAp.-As a police officer
was strolltng near West and Albany streets,
New York, at about az O'Clock on Sunday
morning, he heard O singular noise, some
what like the ticking OF o large clock. The
officer listened for short time, and found
that the sound came from the second floor
OF building where 81. B. Cromwell, owner
of.thes Savannah Steamship Line, has his
office. The officer, suspecting that burg
assistance, aud having, with his compan-
Ions, broken open a window, the house
Was notselessly entered. Inside &c was pitch
dark, but they heard whispers inside Of Mr..
CromwesPs office. sL
One burglar was telling another, who
was drilling safe, to hurry up, as day
light would soon be upon them. The bur-
glars had lett the door unlocked. When
the officers rushed In they found three VII
iainous-iooklng men hard at work drilling
the safe. The burglars were taken COM
pietely by surprise. Theaonly light In the
room was from durk-lantern, which one
OF the thieves held in his hand, the rays
striking the spot where the drill was ct
work. AS soon as the officers entered
everything was dark. A short struggle en-
sued, and james West was captured. In
the darkness the other two burglars Slip
ped out through the door and run uD
stairs. ,T.,, ra.a.s s.q
They were closely pursued by the officers
until they reached the fifth story and passed
through the scuttle to the roof, when they
heard an officer close upon their heels cock
ing his revolver. The nearest structure is
n three. story tenement house about fifteen
feet away, with sharp, slanting slate roof.
When the officer reached the roof the bur-
glars leaped upon the tenement house. It
was desperate chance, and seemed almost
certain death. The burglars struck near
the angle of the roof with great force, and
caught hold with their hands. There they
hung with q desperate grip. The officer
saw it would be suicide TO follow them, and
hurriedly retracing his got into the tene-
ment house and stealthily crept up to the
roof.
The burglars heard the approach and
shifted their positions. Looking around,
the burglars saw the aperture of the Ventl-
lator some feet away. It was desperate
move for them to reach it, as the slate root
was very slanting, and If they lost their
balance they were sure to fall to the SIDE
walk and be dashed to pieces. They, now
ever succeeded in finally reaching the ven
tilator, from which one of them was after
wards dragged. The other escaped, but
was caught in coming down stairs. The
burglars had a complete set OF apparatus,
worth $500. In the safe there were about
| 81 900 cash, and from $50, 900 to Sl0O,OOO IN
bonds, notes, and othec valuables-a great
haul if they could have secured 1t.

THE expense of keeping our streets in re-
pair has been burden, felt and complained
OF, but in the main, approved when managed
with discreet and intelligent economy. No
economy, however, can keep earth roads in
good order, especially vixen the material for
the work has 10 be hauled any distance with
out heavy expense. 1t is hardly question if
true economy would not justify thorough
change in the matter Of building our roads.
There cannot be u doubt as to the fact, that
the expenditures upon Main street and the
road to the Station, within the last fifteen
years has been sufficient to have Thoroughly
McAdamizcd them both, and thus proved an
investment from which annual profits in the
way of savings would have gone on almost
indefinitely. The experience of centuries in
Europe and scores Of years in our own coun-
try, attest that similar highways, when once
properly McAdamized, require little or no
outlay in Keeping them in good repair A
mcre nominal sum would thus keep the Sc
thoroughfares in complete & permanent order.
Several towns in Connecticut, and various
places in the country,are providing themselves
with steam cobble crushers and rollers and
bringing within their own power and man
agement the material for making these roads.
The cost is but triflng when compared to their
lasting economy. An exchange brings us the
statement of one Town in Connccticut-that
of little Bantord-which during the past year
has completed seven McAdamized highways,
and the work is now done for generations
Why will not our heavily burdened taX-pay-
ers insist that this waste of their money shall
cease by giving place TO better plan. Let
the money used for "tickling" the highways
with fine sand and perhaps little pulyerized
garden soil, 6e applied to the purchase of the
modern machine for crushing stone for pern'd-
nent road making: Our citizens and our heav-
ier taxpayers we think, would approve such
reform. We ask our Borough officers and
taxpayers TO take this matter into considera-
tion, and proCe, if they do not already know
it, that theie is no other such enormous and
inexcusable waste known to our municipal
expenditure as the present system of road re-
pairing.

BRIDGE LETTING.-The culvert over Hub.
bard's Run, near the Plank Road gate was let
on Friday of last week. The successful bid
der for the masonry, was Mr.. ROBERT STEW
ART of Kingsville, and the price at which il
WAS taken was $1,000. The offers ran from
Sc 800 for block sandstone down 10 the price
for which it was taken, to be laid in stone tax

near the residence of ii. E. FEM, which are
said to be of durable texture, and from 4 TO 12
inches thick. The width of the culvert is TO

wings 10 feet, additonal-120 feet The fill is
lS feet above the arch and The contract was
awarded TO WILLIAM WILLARD of this viii
lage, for 800, who did the work when the
bridge was first built by the Plank Road Co.
The material Tor this part of the work is to be
taken from the bank near the place. The bids
ranged from 5 800 to ZOO. The level of the
road when done, will be the same as that OF
the present bridge-which is 10 stand while
the work is going on. tits expected that the
job will be finished about the first of August.
The bridge over Ashtabula Creek, near
what was formerly Young's mill, is also to be
rebuilt, and the abutments are to be put up by
Mr.. STEWART, with the same material used
for the culvert, at the rate of $2S per cord.
The extent of this work is estimated at 30
cords, which is 10 be laid in cement. The
wood work is to be of the lattice description,
and the job has been taken by Messrs. SEY-

THE EXPLORING COMMITTEE reached home
early the present week, looking rs " uninjur'
cd by their ruff. ond.t experience Of life
upon the pTaiTIcs, camping out IN prairie
schoohers, and In part under canvass In tent
form. The weather for the most part has been
mild and comfortable, with but one variation
Of storm and cold winds. They have been
over large extent Of country, within the
State of Kansas, and have become pretty well
acquainted, and impressed with the topo-
graphical attractions and richness 80 general
" admitted and proverbial OF Kansas. They
find territory enough and that which Is good
enough to meet the expectations Of their pio-
neer constituency. AS was stated in the last
communication Of the committee, the country
has been so secuted over that the timber sec.
tions--at best scarce-have been taken up, so
that all future settlers will be under the ncccs-
sity Of depending almost entirely upon coal
for fuel, stone for building, and hedges for
fencing purposes. In obtaining these, and
water, there is however no difficulty. The re-
gion upon which the favorable opinion and
recommendation of the committee will centre,
is very near the geographical centre of the
State, adjacent to a road now in state of for
wardness, called the Lawrence, Topeka d
Santa Fee road. 1t is charming region, and
away from the hunting grounds Of Mr.. Lo.
The explorations of the comm were some
what restricted by the fact that recent govern
ment permits allowed considerable ranges
over desirable sections for Indian hunting
grounds. The committee found themselves
upon the pasture grounds of tho buffalo, and
large droves of them were seen, and their
proximity so close, as to warrant the hazard
of few efforts to stretch SOME of their car
casses upon the plains. But these animals, il
was found, had knack of carrying away
more lead than compored with the ideas OF
amateur hunters, so that considerable amuni-
tioR was lost upon the animals-cr upon the
prairie. The proud story, therefore, TO pour
into the ears of eager and inquiring neighbors
at home, no one of them is able, alas to tell
Other animals of the deer family, and the an
delope were seen in considerable quantities
with the smaller game, however, they were
more fortunate. The Doctor being q good
shot, kept the company more than supplied
with Prairie Chickens, Plover, etc.
The committee will be able to make favor,
able report, in the respects alluded TO above
and that ef sufficient territory for all who
wish to connect themselves with the colony
According TO published notice, the colonst:
will meet at Asitabuia Hall, on Saturday
P. NJ, of this week, to hear the report, ant
the adoption of such measures as may be
thought expedient in carrying out the end and
objects Of the enterprise.
