Special to the Gazette.
EMORY, Ten, NOV. l5.--At an early
hour this morning quite Il number OF cit
liens were attracted to the southwest cor
ner of the public square by the report
that the house OF Alfred 8 Mcdonnell
had been burglauzcd. ON repairing to
the spot We found the report true and fur
thcr that the large safe belonging Ca that
firm, ANA in which the taN-collector OF
Rains county deposits the state
aud county revenue, had been blown open.
The safe had an inside door, which was
not affected by the explosion OF the outer
door. The cracks drilled a hole into the
inner door and charged il with powder
applied fuse and from some cause aban-
doncd the enterprise without effecting an
entrance To the inner drawers of the safe.
They got none OF the large treasure de-
posted in the safe. II was evidently the
work OF an experienced aud skilled thief.

PERILoUs CONDITION OF A FAMILY ON AN
ISLAND IN THE SUsQUEHANNA.-For a number
of years VIM. H. Roberts and his family have
made their home on lonely island in the Sus-
quehanna, about mile north of Port Deposit.
During the ice freshet of 1875 their island home
was almost entirely submerged, and the family
rescued from their perilous situation by band
of brave men from Havre de Grace, who went
over the ice at the risk of their own lives and
brought the family safely ashore in their gun
ming skiff. Since that time Mr. Roberts has
been removing his family to Port Deposit every
fall, and not returning to the island until the
ice had left the river. Last fall Mrs. Roberts
was too i'll to be removed, and the family were
compelled to remain on the island where they
have for some time been cut off from all COM
munication with the shore by the condition of
the river. Last Saturday morning Mr.. Roberts
made his appearance on the island and attract
ing the attention of persons on the shore gave
them to understand that his wife and one of his
children were dead. The warmest sympathies
of the people of Port Deposit were aroused. A
rescue party was made up on Tuesday morning,
who determined to risk the passage over the
rough and dangerous mass of ice between the
shore and the island, and ascertain the true con-
dition of the family, and render any assistance
in their power. After scrambling over the
gorged ice the party reached the island safely
and found that the only deaths that had occur
red were those of Mr.. Roberts horse and dog
The signals he had given had been misunder-
stood. Mrs. Roberts, however, was extremely
ill, and had suffered greatly from want of medi-
cal and other attention, and the whole family
had endured much hardship. DR.. c. A. Shure,
who was of the party, gave Mrs. Roberts the
medical attention needed, and Mr.. Roberts &C.
companied them on their return to procure
provisions, &c, of which they were greatly in
want. AS the lives Of the whole family are ell
dangered by their remaining on the island until
the river breaks up, it is probable that an effort
will be made to remove them, should Mrs.
Roberts condition sufficiently improve.

The merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Old Town, Baltimore, held their
first annual banquet and reunion, on Wed.
nesday night. The President, Mr.. Theodore
F. Wilcox, presided, and among the company
were Mayor Latrobe, Hon. VIM. Kimmel,
Joseph Thompson, President Hood, of the
Western Maryland Railroad, Jacob Myers,
D. L. Ningard, W. H. B. Fusselbaugh of j.,
w. ]. H. Guck, Jr, Chas. E. Bristor, ]. C.
We'll, Chas. Ehman Jas Billingsley, c. w.
Halter, J. G. Rouse, ]. B. Hanway, Samuel
Rankin, Henry We'll and others. Addresses
were made by Mayor Latrobe, President
Hood and others. The object of the associa.
ton is to promote the business interests of
Old Town. One way in which these inter.
ests can be advanced, would be to secure
terminus for the Maryland Central Railroad
in Old Town. The people of Hartford and
Baltimore counties have been accustomed for
generations to selling their produce and maxi
ing their purchases in Old Town, and the dis
lance of the present terminus of the railroad
from their favorite resort is unfortunate for
all concerned.
