ANOTHER BURGLARY.-The house occupied
by MIR. James Salmon, on Langdon street. near

being roughly shaken by man who presented
pistol at her head, and wanted to know where
the money was kept, but as the woman refused
to tell him, he shook a roll of bills in her face
and departed. She thinks that the burglars,
three of whom she saw in the room, admins
tered chloroform TO the inmates of the house, as
none of them were able TO keep awake even
after the burglars had departed. Mr.. Salmon
was ont Of town atthe time of the affair, fact
OF which the robbers seem to be aware An
entrance was effected by means of the kitchen
window, which was unlocked after a pane of
glass had been broken.
With the frequent occurrence of burglaries
much blame is unjustly attached to the night
patrolmen, as, in order to have every section of
the city under their charge, it is necessary that
the territory apportioned to some of them be
very large, and in fact much too large to be
properly watched. The limits of the city in
clude very large amount of territory, and with
the present force it is an impossibility to prop
erly guard all sections. The people have a
right to demand that their property is properly
guarded, and the only means by which this can
be effected is by an increase of the night force
