I Messrs. B. 8c J. had lost confidence in their ; safe, had set it out of their counting-room; ; it therefore contained nothing of value, all I their books, papers, 5cc, having been res' moved. The safe, however, is completely ruined. The drawers of the counting- ; room desk had been overhauled , and the ; papers scattered around, but nothing of value was lost. Taking with them the keys of Messrs. ! Blackmore 8c Jenkins, the tnieves then pro- ' ceeded to the store of Messrs. D. White 8c : Co. . grocers and commission merchants, on j the opposite corner, where they found that gunpowder was still necessary to effect an entrance to the safe. The door of this safe was completely blown to pieces, but otherwise the safe is uninjured. Here they obtained some three or four dollars in silver change, which had been left in the drawer, and some forty or fifty dollars in counterfeit bank notes. One of the counterfeit notes was a $20 bill on the Northern Bank of Kentucky. There was in the safe a check on the Madison Branch Bank for five thousand dollars, but it has since been found among t;ie scattered papers. It would have been of no use, however, as payment was immediately stopped. A ; steel drill of some two feet in length, was ! found at this store. It had probably been ufced in forcing the store door, j The lumber office of Mr. Todd, corner I of Ohio street and Poplar Lane, was also j broken open, and lus safe seriously injured i by gunpowder, though not so bad as either of the others. We understand that there j was but one dollar and fifty cents in this safe, and it was found this morning, j These were most daring burglaries. ! The houses broken open are but a short i distance apart, and when we consider that ' a loud report must necessarily have follow- : ed the assaults upon the safes, it is a matter -of surprise that the rascals should have : attempted so many in one night. They were but poorly paid, however, for their ; trouble, as the amount of money obtained vlllli not much more than pay for their powder. The prevailing opinion as to the depredators is that they are some of those rogues who have recently been infesting Cincinnati. They had probably landed from some steamboat during the evening or night, and were off before daylight this morning. They may, however, be still prowling about the city, and it would be well lor those who nr i., tho n." !co,.;r .u .. v . w . j Uiiiv. wvl-l I'lUVC 1U1 11 night. HT They must have awful dull times in Cincinnati. We have just finished look ing over some half-dozen of yesterday's papers from that city, and in the whole lot we could not find a single item worth sci; sorizing, either for editorial, miscellany, or news. A good newspaper is very much needed in Cincinnati, and Were it noi that they are hardly deserving of it, we would ! furnish them one.

fc-Many persons in New York city attempt to raise pig", but there ia a city Uw against it, and officers are appointed to hunt thera out and take them to a public pound out of the city.

fjr West eireet is improving in incidents. Two robberies in one night on that street will do pretty well in the way of locals indeed, it is a little "too much of a good thing." O" The Banner thinks that it might have abbreviated Mr. Dunn's biography, by simply applying to him Pope's celebrated line : "An honest man 'a the noblest work of God." Are honest men so scarce in the Taylor party, that when they tind one they publish his biography! (jZj The Banner calls the editors of this paper "veteran and accomplished." As the junior is not yet married, he does not relish any reference to the tender subject 0f ae "No more of that, lial, as thou lovest me.'' The last charge that of being accomplished he will not attempt to gainsay or deny. Our respect for grey hairs, whenever and wherever found, is all that prevents us from retorting. fjT" We have not said that either Mr. Matsons or Mi. Dunn's money could buy votes. What we did say was, that Mr. Dunn urged Matron's nomination, on the ground that Matson had money to spend iu the canvass. Since we must say it, Ur. Dunn, the whig candidate for Congress in this district, is the man who intimated that the voters of Indiana those men who repudiate Zachary Taylor for a slander unon their fair fame "could be bought and sold as sheep in the shambles." TT We cut the following from the New York Sun, and especially recommend it to the attention of our citizens: How to Obtain Pcre Air. Dissolve one pound of chloride of lime in ten gallons of water. One gallon of this mixture thrown into a sink every day at noon, will keep the surrounding atmosphere pure and healthy; or, if preferable, half a peck of quick lime thrown into the sink every week, will have the 6ame effect. In crowded or damp rooms, the air may be purified by keeping a saucer full of chloride of lime, or a platefull of unslacked lime, on the floor. As soon as the lime slacks it is uufit for use in rooms, but may be used to purify gutters or sinks. The chloride of lime, when it has lost the odor which distinguishes it from common lime, is no longer useful as a purifier. When it is desirable to obtain the purifying virtue of chloride of lime in large quantity, sprinkle a little vinegar upon it. Oil of vitriol, sprinkled upon chloride of lime, will disengage the chlorine still more rapidly, but this should be done only under the direction of a physician, as the chlorine gas, when breathed in large volumes, has a very injurious effect upon the lungs. The safest way to use the chloride of lime iu a room is to keep it in a saucer. The expense of carrying out the above valuable suggestion is but trilling; but as some poor persons have not the means of doing so, we would suggest to the corporation the propriety of placing a quantity of lime and chloride of lime atevery police station, for gratuitous distribution and use, under the direction of the Police. Cholera in New Orleans. The Bulletin of the 22d says. Though we hear and see but little of this disease, there is no doubt it is still lingering among us, to a greater or less extent, and we would, therefore, call the attention of the authorities and citizens generally to the fact, that the dislodgment by the fiood of so large an amount of population from their usual places of residence in the rear of the city, will probably crowd them in such numbers in other dwellings as will be very favorable to a fresh outbreek of th c isease, unless some measures are taken to counteract it, and trpat rsnllrtn .

Dr. Friend, after getb ting home highly primed from a dinner party, was a j t- t called out to see a lady, taken dangerously iii. "So" said the doctor to his man.
