ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
RAIDS UPON THE POOR PREACH.
Frs
REV. Mr. THO MsoN FIRST, AND
REV. THAYER NEXT.
DISCONSOLATE THIEVES AND
CHUCKLING PARSONS.

Iho burglars who infest our city are APP
parently desperately "bard up They
nave either exhausted the rich field Of the
hotels aud saloons, or have become fright
ened by the vigilance Of tho keepers OF
these institutions. This Is evident from
the fact that, Of late, the rascals have boon
making raids upon our resident ministers.
An old burglar who was not in fearful
straight would not think of breaking ia,o
\ preSchers' house. Wo would as soon OK
pect him to attempt TO steal something
valuable from the residenceo of an editor of
Cairo daily.
But, IN solemn oarnestncss, we declare
that there are such thieye. in the city.
Last week, on Monday night We believe,
thief broke into Rev. Mr.. Thom.on's
house and rummaged about very industri-
ons'y, but did not obtain more than few
cents. Of course Mr. Thomson was not
pleased a. the visitation, and has since
then been very careful Of his bolts and
bars.
| Yesterday morning before light, the
same thief no doubt, gave Rev. Mr.
| Thayer's residence call. About o'clock
Mrs. Thayer was awakened by the noise
OF some person moving in
her bed room She saw a
man standing at the door Of the clothes
press, and thought be was Mr.. Thuyer,
who had been occupying an adj dining room
la this belief she asked ais that you, Nr.
Thayer?' The burglar, finding be Was
discovered, replied Yes, In disguised
voice. Mrs. Thayer instantly compre.
hended the situation, she raised her voice
and screamed. The burglar ran to and
down tho stairs, and Mr.. Thsyer, aroused
from a sound nap, went after him at q
double quick. All he saw of the rascal
was impse Of the heel Of one of his fee,
as il followed its owner gu, Of the door
The robber had got in At the window, and
then prepared tho door for hs.ty exit
before he descended the stairs.
, We are glad to say the psrson lost moth
ing. His pocket book, in which there wa,
SUN Of money to mention which wouc
make all the preachers in Illinois on, o
Chicago, look towards Cairo with longing
cyes, escaped the clutches of the rascs
who was searching for it; md, ms q conse
quence the psrson is happy.
We would sugges. to tho city council
that this Kind of burglary ought to b,
prohibited by Ordnance and, until i, II
prohibited by ordinance, the mayor shoulc
assume the responsibility Of prohibiting i
himself. We think we have right TO OK
pect this much Of him. If he does not
fhe allows the matter to go on in thi
wayne canno, hope to escape the cholera

will regret bis negec. Of duty. w

which permitted burglars TO enter preach
ers' houses for the purpose of plying ,hei
trade, that was not called upon to lamen
the presence Of the cholera. Our reader
may be surprised at this assertion, but W
assure them that there is AN intimate con
nection between cholera and burglsr-rob
