ter a season of quietness it seemed to burst
forth as the blade of grass after the blasts
Of winter. The social parties were leading
events Of the week although the rinSs
claimed the attention of not small number
of our people. One back-set to pleasure IN
Bellaire al present is the scarcity OF money,
a little article which is indispensable for the
endowment of the average inhabitant OF the
Glass City. he has always had it IN plenty
until now and the experience OF the present
is a severe trial for him.

SAFE BLOWN.
On Tuesday morning upon going to ms
pace OF business, Mr.. &. Campbell Janney
discovered that some one had blown open
his big safe Two holes had been drilled in
the door cad from the torn appearance OF
things in general, dynamite must have been
the explosive used. The burglars obtained
10 cents in money, and also took some pa
pers Of no value to anyone but Mr.. Janney,
who thinks the work was done by experts
He received large sum of money on Mon
day, and the burglars must have ascertained
the fact in some way. NJ. Janney was too
sharp to be caught mapping, however, and
while the rascals drilled away for dear life,
the money they were after lay safe 10 the

Several OF our contractors report business
as being little brisker, and some of them
have received contracts during the past
week for new buildings to be erected as
soon as the weather becomes settled. From
q large number Of cities come favorable re-
ports Of unusual buildisg activity. The
building permits Of New York for the first
quarter aggregate $40, l6l 1852, against
$S.55O,672 for the first quarter last year.
In Philadelphia the building permits exceed
$4,000 600 for the first quarter.
Nothing especially new in iron circles has
come to light during the past week with the
exception that the Top mill blast furnace
will manufacture Bessemer pig, and the
fact that there is talk Of steel plant being
erected By the Mingo Junction Iron Com
pany. All the mills are running along in
about the same old rut, as are also the var
icus other industries OF the city. HoweYeS
the prospects have grown somewhat brighter
and an early brightness in trade is looked
for.

should have suggested that the com.
'mittee wait until the meeting of the

expenses OF their trip appropriated by

that will appropriate $4,000 to build

have the heart to refuse such a small
