YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
OF BEL AIR.-This association, which was
organized several months ago, is steadily in
creasing in usefulness. A reading room has
been fitted up, over Mr.. VIM. Bouldins store,
and the foundation of library commenced
Besides the library a number of select peri
odicals are kept on file, for the use of the
members. The room is open to the members
every evening, and on Friday nights debates
are held, and recitations, dialogues &c, given
Everything, in fact, is done to interest and
attract the young men and boys of the vii
age and neighborhood, so as to induce them
to spend their spare evenings in an atmos,

development than that of street corners or
bar-rooms.
Nor are the efforts of the association self
confined. Religious exercises are held, every
Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the
association, at the county almshouse-and in
these exercises no ordinary degree of inter-
est is manifested by the poor unfortunates
who have been driven by misery and want
to subsist on the charity Of the public-a
charity which, while it has provided for their
bodily wants, has unfortunately overlooked
the necessities of their moral nature.
The Young Mems Christian Association is
really engaged in a good work-one which,
we hope, will meet with the cooperation and
support of the humane and charitable. All
the funds in the treasury were lost by the re-
cent burglary in Bel Air, and we therefore ven
ture the suggestion that all who feel disposed
to aid the association in their efforts for good,
will send contributions to the President, Mr.
A. H. Greenfield, OF to the Treasurer, Mr..
George Il. Harvard, Bel Air.

THE BEL AIR SAFE RoBBERY.-No clue
has yet been found to the burglars who blew
open the safe at Mr.. Amos's hardware store,
ON Wednesday night of last week. 1t was
evidently the work of professional burglars,
aided perhaps by an accomplice here. 1t
seems singular that the noise made by the
blast did not arouse the whole neighborhood.
Mr.. A. II. Greenfield, whose store and res.
idence are on the corner diagonally opposite
from Mr.. Amos's, reports that about one
o'clock on the night in question, he was
aroused by noise Of some character, and
looking out saw two men sitting on the steps
of Mr. Knof1er's shoe store-which is on an
other corner of the street, and directly oppo-
site Mr.. Amos's. AS Mr. G. looked out these
men walked to the curbstone, when one of
them struck match, which, it is thought,
was signal to some one else-probably the
rogues in the store-to keep quiet. 1t not
being an unusual circumstance to see persons
standing or sitting about the corners at night,
and the noise which aroused Mr.. G. not be.
ing repeated, he paid no more attention to
the matter
The thieves selected from Mr.. Amoss
shelves six inch Colts revolver, which was
the only thing missed besides the contents of
the safe. They opened the money drawer,
but finding nothing there but little small
change, passed it by.
A reward of four hundred dollars has been
offered for the arrest of the rogues, but we
fear they will scarcely be captured.
