office in and for Kent County was entered by
some party yet unknown. The entrance was ef-
fected by removing the hasp from the outer
door, and picking the lock of the inner.
The object Of the entrance is not known
Some of the records were thrown upon the floor

the Recorder has not been able to find any trace
Of mutilation or removal of any record.
Whether the party succeeded in what was de-

neither the number engaged in the plot. The
whole affair remains mystery.
If no further damage was done that what has
been discovered the affair will be to the adyan-

This naval station, which is principally used
as a harbor for the govsrnment's iron-clads ls
now occupied by nineteen of these iron mon
sters. There are but very few men employed at
the station, no more work being done there than
that which is necessary to preserve the machin-
cry of the vessels from rusting. The vessels
seem to be all in good sound condition, with
the exception of the Puritan, whose exterior
plating is not in so good condition as that OF
the others. In addition to the nineteen iron
clads at this station there are two, the SduguS
and the Manhattan at the shipyard Of Messrs.
Cramp d Sons, Keusington.

The Forrest Rsadlna.

The audience at the Opera House, last evening
was by no means corresponding to the great
reputation of Mr.. Forrest, or the effort which he
put forth. To say that he merely entertained
his audience would be to leave the story half
told, for wa are sure that, from the absorbed
manner in which his reading was listened to. all
present were highly edited and left the hall with
a clearer insight into the beauty and meaning of
the pay of Hamlet than they ever before pos
sessed. Mr. Forests powers az a dramatic
reader are truly great. Whatever may be said
Of the propriety Of the condescension az it is
termed from the actor to the reader, no one
will question for moment his familiarity with
the import of the drdma, or his ability to render
it in manner akin to the feeling which enrap-
tured the author when he penned it. The mod
ulations Of his voice and its adaptation to the
different characters almost carry with it the be-
lief that the drama Is being enacted before you,
and his presentation Of Hamlet appears to give
expression to all the feelings AMI impulses which
might be supposed to animate him in actual life.

Cheap Telegraph Service-WhaE the AmcrIcnn n
People Must Have.
The Philadelphia Inquirel.

The PhlIadeIphIh inquirer Says;
In the matter OF popularizing the telegraph
by reducing the charges on messages over the
wires England is far ahead of our usually pro-
gressive country. Since the consolidation of
the telegraph lines in Great Britain with the
postal department of the three kingdoms, Sir
J. Ives Souddamore has labored assiduously and
judioiously in increasing facilities for the use of
the electric postman. His latest idea is one
providing for six-penny kilograms, just as we
now send letters for three cents. Should this
plan of cheap telegraphing for the people prove
feasible, it will be adopted not only in England,
but awaken the attention Of our countrymen to
the pressing need of an improvement in the tel
egraphic system Of the United States. Though
the first to adopt electricity as a messenger. we
bid fair to be the last nation to make 1t useful
to all members Of the community, as we have
done the postal service.
