PRoPERTr.-On Monday night last the cigar
store Of Mr.. Dennis Shocks, No. 3l5 Pennsylva-
ma avenue, was entered through the front door
by thieves, by means of wrenching OF the pad
lock, and christening another lock with a skel-
eton key. The thieves showed their Judgment
by selecting i,1O0 cigars OF the best brands,
amounting in value to about 500, with which
they got away successfully. The case was re-
ported to police headquarters and Chief Clar
voc gave il to Detectives CoOmes aud McDsyitt
to work up The result was, that the officers
arrested two col0red men, who gave their
names as Gus. York and Henry jackson, and
locked them up in the Headquarters cells ON
wednesday evening they came near making
their escape, by digging through the brick wall,
but were caught by Policeman Drill on duty
there, and a small Jimmy and large brass nail
which they had secreted were taken from them
They were then heavily ironed. Yesterday
these officers recovered the cigars in a lumber
yard, at the corner of Maryland avenue and x
street, where they had hid them.

The GREATEST THING In its way this season.
was the immense toy sale OF our old friend
Samuel Samstag, who for years has gained a
great reputation by selling toys at auction. He
has. with his usual enterprise, astonished thu
public by his great sale of toys, which he has
been conducting for the last three weeks, and
with him from early morning until late at night
gave our public an opportunity for buying
their toys and presents for their friends and
little ones at such fabulOrsly low prices that
we cannot help but complime at him in the igh-
est manner, and hope that he will ever continue
to be successful IN his enterprise. /
