I he Cazier Robbery.

The residence Fl. l.. Cazier Esq wealthy
farmer, living near kirkwood, Del, nine
miles east of Elkton, was entered by burg
lars about o'clock on Friday night last
and several hundred dollars worth of goods
stolen.
The thieves gained an entrance to the
house through the bay window Of the din
ing room directly beneath the bed room in
which Mr.. Cazier and wife We're Sleeping
The noise of opening the window slightly
aroused Mr.. Cazier, who thinking the shock
was produced by the wilma did not invesi-
gate the cause and the robbery was not dis
covered until morning.
The different rooms, save those occupied
by members Of the household, were thor
oughly ransacked. The amount of goods
stolen will probably reach 81 100
Among the articles of the most value car
red away were three handsome and costly
SillsdresSeS, one satin dress, and an expen-
Sive black silk mantle, trimmed with genu-
inc lace, which alone was worth Il large sum
Of money. y large quantity of .iewelry,
chiefly parts Of sets, valued highly, both in
trinSically and rs keepsakes or mementoes,
with upward of $50 in cash, Went TO make
up the burglars plumber. Several lesser
articles of value are also missing, but lust
what has been stolen is not known even
yet.
1t is evident that the burglars We're
alarmed ami beat Il hasty retreat from the
house before they were prepared. \ num-
Der Of vaiuables were tied up ready for re
moval; and several more We're untouched.
The baby crying about , o'clock in the
morning awoke an attendant who walked
across the room above the one in which the
burglars We're AT work, and it is likely
frightened them away.
The only clue TO the burglars is related by
Station Agent Buttingham, and it seems
most plausible About l. 80 O clock Il strange
man, apparently alb out 10 years of age, short
ana heavy set, with blonde mouStache car
:ying two satchels, appeared at the Kirk
wood station and inquired if n person an
swering to a description, the stranger gave,
had bought a ticket at the Office during the
morning. On being answered negatively,
the stranger said he was detective and was
on the search of a New York burglar, who
he knew to he so,new here on the Peninsula
To verify his statement he showed detec-
tives star and pair of handouts He also
related the same story to a mum Der of boys
i'll the vicinity and after hanging around
the depot awhile bought ticket for Mid
diet town, and boarded the next south bound
train. The man did not get off any train at
Kirkwood during the previous afternoon or
that morning, and how he got TO the place
is mystery, and it seems probable that he
had been in the neighborhood some time
and had gained all necessary information
about he house of Mr. Cazicr, and was
joined on the train Ivy one or more confed-
crates. who assisted in the burglary.

Two Unusual Months.

An nTesti CATION of the record for the pas r
ten years shows the past two months to
have been phenomenal.
The month of April was changeable and
decidedly like March. The showers which
are the rule for this month We're few and far
between, and instead brisk winds prevailed.
The highest point the Thermometer register
ty degrees. This point reached on the
afternoon Of Sunday, the I'd. The maxi
mum average Of temperature was several
points lower than i'll any previous year, al
though no one day was so cold as one in
1873 when the average did not 20 above
.j2l,. In other years since 1872 the WarmcSt
days in this month have tluctuated from 81
to 65 degrees in average, the highest rate at
| any one time being in April 1873, when on
the DIST the Thermometer jumped to IS in
the afternoon. The lowest average temper
ature for any day last month was 25H, on
Tuesday, the llth. This was not as low, as
the minimum average for any day in the
same month of the year preceding, for on
April 9TH, 1881, only 26'3 was averaged, and
this was the bottom average for any cores
pnuding period within the past decade.
Taking the present month and compar
ing it with previous corresponding months
shows the very highest point of tenn pera-
tire reached to be five points lower than in
May, 1873, which was considered IL back
ward month, yet on the 10Th OF May of that
year 81 degrees was registered in the after
noon. In May, 1850, 9G degrees was reached,
and in other years since 1872, not named,
the highest points We're 81 To 81 degrees, the
latter figure having been reached in both
1872 and 1874. The daily average of this
month has been generally several points
below previous Mays for the past ten years,
during which from II to 19l. degrees were
the very highest daily averages. The near
est approach to the lowest of these averages
this month was on Tuesday, the 9th when
GA, degrees was the average, and 81 de
grees was the highest point reached in the
afternoon. That was the warmcSt day eN-
,rricnced thus far this year. Cold and
chilly as it has been since May |. the aver
age for any one day did not drop below the
record for the past eleven years. The low
est average was 4?'a degrees for any day,
and colder days Were experienced in the
corresponding month within the last ten
years the average dropping as low as i5',
degrees in May, 1870. Forty degrees was
the lowest point of temperature this :Gonth,
and that was Indicated at y. Vi. on ne 3rd
instant

reached the neighborhood of the heart on

Der of years and ranked among its formost
citizens in every particular. He was Il ma
