ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.-At late hour last
night or an early one this morning, an at
tempt was made by some parties to enter the
store No. 81 Bourbon street, known as the
Mourning store. They splintered the front
door to pieces, and broke the locks and fas-
Jennings, when they were evidently frightened
away by the approach OF either tie policeman
Of the beat or some passing citlzen-mos:
likely the latter.
1t strikes US as more than strange that on
such frequented thoroughfare as Bourbon
street. these thieves could have worked for
nearly an hour, as they evidently did, without
attracting the attention of an NJ. 2.
