THIEVES ABour.--Housekeepe can not
be too careful to see that their houses are
well bolted and secured at night, before they
retire, as the country appears TO be infested
with thieves. On Sunday night some prowl-
err climbed tree in front Of the Hartford
House, in this place, and cndcavored to get
into the window. Mr.. Cook, the proprietor,
heard the noise, and going to the window
with lis gun, saw the fellow getting to the
ground quite rapidly. A shot from Mr..
Cooks gun accelerated his retreat, but did
not hit him.
An attempt was also made the same night,
by some lawless person, to enter the Western
Union telegraph office and residence of Mr..
Thos Fl. Snowden, but the would-be thieves
failed to get in,

Slade, in the 23d year of his age.
The Angel of Death passed over the threshold Of Il
home, bearing thence the rstborn, in the pride of his
manhood. Parents mourning their brave generous
boy brothers sadly for the presence one who

full of promise thus early ended Yet vain Is all the
wlstul tenderness that would essay change the fiat
of the stern Messenger. Tho decree was framed by
Eternal WISDOM and even amid the natural sorrow
which cannot be repressed, and the loneliness caused
by the vacant place in circle, We arc sensible of
this truth We know that Creator has the right to
claim the life that lie has given at the time that lie
'eems best and whether the summons comes in the
glory Of the dawn while the shadows of eyenthle
darken the way those who left to miss the vanish.

who knew and loved him, and though it may seem in
expressiby hard to resign the presence of whose
young life was full Of noble and lofty ambition, and
whose intelligence and energy gave promise of bright

him from among us. Hoping that the bright visions
of happiness formed for his soourn here may be per-

A New CIVIL RGHTS BILL.-Thc Radi-
Gals in Congress have come to the conclusion,
since the November elections, that the Civil
Rights Bill as it passed the Senate is too
stringent Accordingly, II new one is to be
prepared, in winch the matter of education
and the regulation of cemeteries will be left
to the States. The new bill will confer no
rights and privileges upon the negro that he
does not now possess and is simply intended
to crafty the colored people without too
greatly offending the whites.

THE PENNSYLVANIA SENAToRsulP.-The
contest for United States Senator in Pennsyl-
vania seems to be between Judge jeremiah s.
Black, Charles r. Buckalew and VIM. A.
Wallace-all good Democrats. The Repub.
licans in that State manifest great anxiety
over the result and undertake to say that if
Judge Black should he chosen it will disinte-
CRATE the Democratic party and rcunite the
Republicans, while at the same time they are
doing all they can for Mr.. Wallace. They
are certainly very kind and thoughtful for
the interests of Democracy. We hope our
Pennsylvania friends will be on their guard,
and be chary of advice from such an interest
cd quarter.

n KING AMONG Us.-king David Kalaka
ia, of the Sandwich Islands, passed through
Baltimore with his attendants, last Saturday
morning, on their way to Washington. He
was of course interviewed on his way across
the continent, and to such an extent, too, that
he thinks writers for the press constitute the
most numerous body Of people in the coun-
try
The King being au educated man, speaks
pure English. His uterance is deliberate and
his manner dignitica and kind, showing the
good breeding of u gentleman. He is tall and
heavily built, with Il full immobile face,
brown swarthy complexion, sparse Burnside
whskers and moustache, bright black eyes,
and soft curly black hair His features are
naturally, in reposc. IIc is easy and never
surprised, while his manner is entirely devoid
of all hauteur. In addition to the items of
dress above indicated, kalakaua wore load
of rings on his fingers, some of them of strk-
ing beauty. His uniform for state occasions
is that Of q general, the sword being tur-
kish scmitar, studded at the hilt with dia-
monds, rubies and emerads, all of great
price. This Sword Of state" was in the Gus
tody of an attendant.
On approaching Washington, he was met
at Wilson's Station by the Secretaries of
State, the War and the Navy, and more rep
resentatiyes of the press. A handsome suite
of rooms had been provided for him at the
Arlington House, TO which lie was escorted
in grand style. His visit is not altogether of
social character, but is believed to have
another significance. Great Britain has for
some years desired to get foothold upon
some the islands of the Pacific, and among
others the Sandwich Islands. They are, how.
ever, On the direct line Of communication be-
tween the United States, and China and Ja-
pan; and this country could not let them pass
under the protection Of any foreign power.
The Hawaiians themselves would prefer
terms with the United States, rather than
with any other country.

RoRnERY AND AssAuLT.-On Sunday az
ternoon, as Miss Alice Jacobs was going up
the stairway in her mothers house, in Bel
Air, She was surprised and alarmed at seeing
strange man coming out of the room of one
Of the boarders, with his arms full of clothing
She screamed with fright, and the miscreant
at the same moment sprang at her and seiz-
ing her by her hair pulled her violently to the
floor. She tainted and the rascal darted
down stairs and out of the back door, leav-
ing the most ifnot all the plumber he had
taken strewed over the stairway and passage.
Miss Jacobs screams alarmed the rest of
the family, who came to her assistance. The
neighborhood was soon aroused, and a num-
Der Of persons started in search of the thief.
The woods around were secured, but the
wretch could not be found. Miss Jacobs
was so much frightened that it was long
time before she could be restored to con-
seriousness Her agitation was so great that
she is unable TO say positively whether the in
truder was a white or a black man.
