Christmas day passed very quietly
with us. In the evening the Dramat-

powerfully written drama, entitled

acknowledged by all to be the most
powerful and effective play ever pro-
duced on this stage. The Club (ndcr
the management Of g. +. Hinman) has
gained y noteriety Of which no club
need bc ashamed; ;lnd We hope theN
may long continue Immediately
after the play, those who wished to
engage in tripping the light fantastic
toe adjourned to kavanaugh's Hall.
where, being furnished with excellent
music, they trrippsd to their hearts

ArrEHPr AT BuRGLARY.-Some unknown
burglar orburHlars attempted to force an en-.
trance into the liquor store OF Mrs. Hannah
keim, who keeps at No. l04l Market
street, some time during Sunday night or
Monday morning. In attempting to gain
an entrance they evidently used 4 jimmy
or similar instrument which they insert.
ed between the double doors at the front
entrance, prying off the upper part OF tine
keeper and breaking one Of the screws.
On the edge Of both the doors can be
plainly seen the marks OF the instrument
used, which broke through the wood in
several places. Mrs. Keim, who sleeps
on the floor above the store, was
awakened by q sharp sound, some.
thing like the report OF a pistol, and
getting up went to window and looked
out to see where it came from, but saw no.
body, and retired again without knowing
anything about the attempt to rob her,
which was not discovered until tile open.
ing OF the store yesterday morning. The
breaking OF the screw must have caused
the noise which awakened Mrs. Keim, and
which doubtless frightened the robber,
who fed thinking be was discovered,
without gaining an entrance.
