.TTEMFTED BURGLARY.


An attempt was made on Tuesday night,
the 4th inst, by one of our town burglars
to get into the house of Mr.. c. w. Knight,
but was prevented from accomplishing his
purpose by the timely appearance of Mr..
Knight, who happened to be awake, and
hearing some noise stepped out on the bal
cony and confronted the rascal just as he
had succeeded in climbing up on the bal.
cony. He availed himself of the oppor
tunity to advance backwards y by sliding
down to the street as rapidly as possible
and made good his escape.
ALMOST FIRE.
Our little ferry boat, the BsninGQ, ply
ing between Port Deposit and Iapidgm,
came near meeting with the fate of its
predecessor the Wa. Z. M5Caa. On Mon
day night last about half past seven clock,
some boys noticed she was on fire and gave
the alarm. By the time the citizens reached
the wharf where she lay, she was completely
euveloped in flames. The muslin awning
that extended around her was entirely
burnt up, as also the cushions of the
seats. Fortunately the fire had not got
hold on the wood work when help arrived,
and the flames were subdued, Jew minutes
later and nothing could have saved her
from destruction. The loss to her owner,
Mr.. Holm, will be about one hundred dol
lars. She was not, however disabled so as
to prevent her running, and is now making
her usual trips across the raging SGS,iue-
hanna. The suspicion is that che took tire
near tho furnace, tho heat of which had
set fire to a box of matches lying in close
proximity to it.

ana at what hotel | was stopping at in
Naples, SO that if any accident should pos
Silly happen to me, word could easily be
transmitted to my friends and my guide S
name was also taken down, and he was
personally responsible for my safe return.
When upon the summit, one of the guides
always had hold of me, lest by "a misstep
| should fall over the brink and thereby
end my travels III Italy. When upon the
summit, did a little harmless thing which
caused great commotiou. 1t was simply
throwing II piece of hard lava down into
the crater. 1t went sailing down until out
of sight, and ! suppose it struck bottom
after a while: but my guides caught hold
OF me aud hurried me away and all that |
could hear were their wild EXPLANATIONS.
and all that | could see was dense cloud
OF black smoke arising out of the crater,
accompanied with Il rumOlng noise like
heavy distant thunder, and the decided
gestculations of my guides which con
veyed TO me the impression that they in
tended to convey to me thcir thoughts,
THAT you had better not do that aga ill.,"
found out, after | returned to my hotel,
what 1t all meant They said that when
the volcano is disturbed by any extraneous
matter thrown into the crater, there is no
telling what may be the result.
Pompeii was destroyed by an overflow of
lava from this very volcano, and that erup-
ton was brought about, it is supposed. by
heavy rain storm, which forced the rain
into the crater, and even the drops of rain
disturbed the equilibrium of the mountain
of fire. 1t took us about three. quarters of
an hour to make the ascent of the cone
alone, and it took lis about four minutes
to make the descent from the cone to the
place where we left our gallant steed.
The ashes on Mount Eesuvius are very dark
and about seven inches deep The two
guides locked arms with me, and we started
down the deep descent of the cone. made
irightilll leaps down the soft ashes, ten or
twelve feet at 4 stride, until | arrived at
the point where We had left our ''rosa-
mantle | mounted and We came back to
the village and took the train for Naples
The line of the different eruptions are
clearly marked by the great heaps of lava
turned aud twisted i'll various fantastic
shapes. 1t appears that the lava thrown
out at each eruption has heretofore taken
different course, and each eruption is
distinctly marked by the course the lava
has taken. While upon the summit of
Nesuvius ! could distinctly see Pompeii.
The site of the city appeared to be directly
under me; felt as though could throw a
piece OF lava directly down into the city.
1t is SAID that at one time grass grew to
the very summit of Mount EesuviuS. This
must have been before the eruption which
destroyed Pompeii, i'll the year 10 In 60

going to the fishing shores while Others
are tramps by profession, and their idea
in choosing this was, that the harder the
times the more lively the business.

For Tie Cecil Whi-.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It is currently reported
and there is 10 reason to question the truth
of the report-that an Order here in town,
whose object, aim and teaching is the
amelioration of its fallen men and the pro
lection and defense of widows and orphans,
has rented the lower part Of the building
which they own, occupy and rent to kin
bred associations, as also for temperance
meetings, etc.-as place for selling spirit
uOus liquors The natural query is, Has
the Order found so little to do of late in
the way of relieving the fatherless and the
widows, and 50 little opportunity of incul-
eating its benetcent tenets, that it must
needs open mandatory where subjects
can be made upon which to exhibit their
virtuOus teaching?
When the acts of an individual or an Or
der are so directly in contradistnction to
their professions. they must expect cIit-
ciSm, and III this case it behoOves every
good and moral man inside and outside of
the Order to raise their voices in cOndemna-
tiOu of the violence contemplated by their
act. 1t cannot be urged as a necessity
This does not justify nor will it atone for
the wrong inflicted. 1t may De questioned
whether there is any necessity that requires
the sacrifice of all OF any part of that
which is good and true. In this case it is
sorry compliment the Order pays to its
pretenSions and profession.
Let us hope it is not too late to remedy
the evil aud disgrace that will follow, in
case the premises are let for the purpose
before stated, and in Uehalf of the kind
lia, Il

HE ihoBABIE CAUSE.
1t is generally believed that the report
that jealousy was the cause of the crime
is not correct, as Larue did not refer to it
at all when uttering his threats, but had
reference to the fracas they had in January
This report appears to have been gotten up
since the murder, and is not at all accred-
tied by those most intimate with the nature
o. the case. While being conducted to
tail, l!arVe told Constable Deford that Hol-
land had brought a pocket book, belonging
TO a gentleman named Weidner, of Elk
Neck, which was lost or stolen at North
East, some months ago, into his shop and
that he had counted the money, $40, Hol.
land taking $40, and he keeping the bal
ance. From this statement, 1t is now sup
posed that Holland was aware that Larue
had something to do with the pocket book,
ana after their row i-arue was afraid that
lie might make thQ facts known and in
yolve him, hence, in addition to the
bitter enmity on account of the fracas, his
devilish desire and preAeditated scheme to
get hin oat Gf tie way.
PROMINENT CITIZENS
of that town inform us that Holland was a
quiet, inotlensive man, of respectable
family, and was well thought of wherever
known, with the single exception that the
association With this as lssin haA got him to
.,riny ~, add even wnen in this condition
he was never known to be quarrelsome.
