Attempted, Robbery.

The law ofiiee of Hon. D. G, Harris 10 our
village WAS entered last week by some person
or persons unknown and his legal and pri-
yate pepers subjected to u thorough over.
hauling. judging from the condition in which
he found them the following morning The
key TO his safe which he had left In a secret
crevce In the room, was found to have heen
removed from the place where no had put It
and wa9 discovered In the look OF the safe,
which had evidently been opened, as the pa
pers II contsined we're displaced and thrown
together in confusion. The most rational de-
duetion from the above facts is, we think,
that the marauders were In search Of some
paper which was supposed to be In possession
of NJ. Harris and which they we're interested
in securing. This as 1t may, nothing was
missed by the owner that he knows Of, and
certainly nothing to which he attaches lmpor-
lance.
In searching, to verify If any of his papers
had been taken, Mr.. Harris came across a
small bundle, which was found to contain a
lew Pnmphlet copies OF his celebrated speech
made over quarter of u century ago in the
Maryland Legislature against the doctrines
Of the Know-N othngs These were distribu-
ted among personal friends in the 'illdge and
have already had the effect of creatinga de-
mand upon us to publish the speech in the
BEACON. We shall be happy to do so when
more at leisure not to recall or revive un.
pleasant memoFies--but for the historic value
and intrinsic power Of the speech itself, and
to illustrate the manhood and devotion to
principle of the LEADER who, years after, in a
season still more dark ard perilous, stood up
solitary and alone in Congress, surrounded
by bitter and hostile faces without q single
supporting friend, and prayed God, ''that you
may never subjugate the South p

A correspondent, signing himself Tax
Payer, sends us the following extract, which
he says he read in the Centervlle RECORD of
last week, and which he claims is as appIj-
cable to st. Mays as to the section for
which it was written, with request for its
publication of the BEACON
~ saw an article in your paper asking
the Legislature for the passage of law to
furnish the public schools with all books
and stationary free. ] am in favor of pub
lie schools believe in the education of our
children without regard to sex or color, but
think our school tax already heavy, and
should and could be much reduced. While
most every tax payer does not object to pay
his or her portion Of what is necessary to run
Public schools the full scholastic year, there
are needless expenses they do object to, viz ::
LIST, we are opposed to having servants to
sweep the house, cut the wood and make
the fires every Winter. End, we are oppos-
ed to Teachers Associations OF fnoilics, I'M
less they have them in their own time and
pay their own expenses. 3rd, we know Of
no other class Of people who are paid for
time they do not make and see no reason
why the teachers should not be charged with
lost time from sickness, bad weather, time
Of sporting, or for actual business. | do not
think the salary they obtain too much, but
! the labor performed not in proportion to
salary. have heard it mooted that some
of our teachers lido not know how many
think the public ought 10 be taxed 10 pay
them pension when they retire. There is
more of the time of our Legislature consum-
ed in the school law and what is known as
the fish and oyster commission. and more
money wasted, than in all the laws to pro-
tect the agriculturist, the latter paying all
the expenses sometimes believe that the
oystermen think that the whole time Of the
Legislature, Chesapeake Bay and tributaries
solely belong to them, and that the farmers
are the only ones who should pay all the
taxes. | have no doubt it is very well TO
have everything needed at other people ex-
pense--free schools, free books, free churches
free gospel, free Dads, &c. We frequently
hear one say We have nice school house.
and have replied yes how much did it
cost your oh! nothing it FREE Another
has said, We have nice church, Yes,
how much did it cost your oh nothing,
it is free. Well, as you, Mr.. Editor, know,
this costs somebody, and those who pay
least want most.

A Dreadful Death.

Many of our readers, especially in the LIST
election district of our county, will remcm-
Der MIR. JAS. r. iMilbun who emigrated from
our County about six years ago to Colorado.
He settled at Leadvile Lake County, and at
once engaged in the business Of surveying,
for which he had been trained, and soon OBJ
tanned many profitable engagements. This
business he continued to pursue up to the
date Of his death, which occurred on fhc 9th
OF February, ult. and in the manner follow
ing Mr.. Milburn, accompanied by Mr..
Geo. Holland. went to Fryer Hill to survey
lease for the Magnolia Co. He had left
his instrument a short distance mp the hill
and had put down stake. For some rea-
son or other, he wanted to get rock, aud
went to the dump of the Ypsilanti shaft,
some fifty yards south of the point where his
instrument was. He had got the stone
that he wanted, and had started back to
the stake he had erected, but instead of
going back by the same track that he
went, he took a course q little lower
down, in fact little below the foot of the
dump where he had procured the stone.
The snow was perfectly smooth, with no sign
OF danger apparent. and nothing to indicate
that there WIS au open shaft in his path,
when, all at once, he sank down through the
snow and went out of sight. His assistant,
George Holland, who was some fifty feet
away, saw him 20 down and ran to the spot,
thinking at first he had only fallen into a
snow bank, but the delusion was soon dis
PEELED when he saw the yawniug mouth G! a
shaft more than 200 feet deep before him. -
Mr.. Milburn, not kno ing of its presence or
else forgetting that it was there, had walked
into the fearful pit without moments warn
ing. Where be went through he made a
hole through the snow just large enough to
admit his body. The fall probably killed
him at once, but his exact fate is still I'M
known, though heroic efforts were made to
recover the body. An experienced miner
DESCENDED the shaft a hundred and eighty feet
when he encountered water from Is 10 80
feet deep. This he sounded to find the re-
mains, but without success, and the body Of
James R. Milburn is still at the bottom of this
well $50 feet below the surface of the earth.

Merchant.

Tia eHefgy and enterprise which this we'll
known commission merchant and grocer haa
displayed through his long business career
certainly renders him very worthy recipient
of the splendid business now enjoyed,
In bis line Of business none surpass and but
few equal him. Throughout tho entire Dia-
triet bis nane Is as familiar as the alphabet.
He Is always first In the market with the
choicest game and fish In season, indeed the
larger portion of all the retail dealers depeud
upon him for these supplies During the week
we called at his large establishment Nos. GAL
and 949 street, S. w., which Is ono Of The
largest and most complete houses Of the kind
In Washington city, being we'll fitted up with
all convenienceS and facilities for conducting
the business. The building Is massive three
story brick structure 4Oxi00 feet In size With
store fronting on Y street, and warehouse In
rear along 10th street, again at 836 La. avenue
he hasa large establishment known rs the po-
tomao Fish and Game Depot. This is leading
speciality OF his and the only complete house
of the kind in the city. The near approach
of the shad season will cause unusually lively
scenes at the wharVes, Mr.. Golden is determ-
ined, as usual, to he the first In the mprket
with supply of these delicious fish; his ar
rangements at the Washington fish wharyes
are the best extaut; two tugs viii be employ
ed during the season 10 towing the boats from
the fisheries for him
As a general commission merchant for the
sale of all farm products we can add nothing,
more than TO say, as of old he continues in
his usual enterprising style. Shippers to this
market all know that none In the business ex-
cell him 10 efeetng quick sales, and prompt
returns. AS agrocer he carries superb stock
Of all staple goods, and sells at very favora-
bic prices, and pays particular attention to
filling orders from farmers along the Potomac
and in the interior. In u word this gentle
man rs merchant is an honor and credit to
the city and business which he represents, and
in extending these complimentary, remarks we
are confident that it is the verdict of all who
have ever met or had business transactions
with him.-Ma,ket Journal.
