The wholesale produce and commits

avenue, Philadelphia, was robbed Oh tn,
night of Oct. II, 1865.
The safe had been opened apparently
by false keys and upward of 5000 in
greenbacks were abstractcd. A package
OF bonds to the amount of s.. 900 more

Two clerks, both young men, usually

Sharon, having provided himself with
false keys, had opened the safe and been

Capt. A. M. Pierce harangued the
Cameron Coalition Club of this city.
last Friday night. The Captain dwelt
at length, until as usual. he broke down,
trying to show what great things the
Malone party would accomplish for the
State il they succeed Win. Nea0s
We presume he did not tell them that,
whilst in this city, short time since
he boastingly offered to bet $500 on
Cameron's election, and that, when the
other party put up the money In gold,
he backed down, and even refused to
pay for the box Of cigars that was put
up as forfeit to be paid for by the one
who should back down, if either should.
That is the way in which he readjusted
his promise to pay-by downright re-
pudiation-in which, however, he show
ed his consistency to the principles, OF
rather want of principles, of the party he
supports. He learned, to his mortifica-
ton, that he could not play the game Of
bluff safely in this city. After his failure
here, he should dry up.
