Kew Publications.
Tbs bet essaot be disputed that the Seaton pub
lisher* bring out their books in a very superior man
ner. In PhiladelphiA it it rather the exception thin
the rule for goad paper, well cut and unworn type,
careful press works and nest binding to he combined.
In New York this combination is more frequent. In
Boston it is usual. The carefully got up and expen
sive English books are rarely superior, are seldom
equal to those of Boßton. We have declared this
more than once, and therefore no publisher in “toe
hub 1 ' can feel that we make an invidious selection
when we declare it again* as prefatory to a running
notice of someiecent publications by Little, Brown,
& Co., one of the leading houses of the Tremoatane
city.
uLittle, Blown, & Co. may be said to range from
the Alpha to the-Omega of publication; from fact to
fancy, for they issue a great many standard law
books, and also that beautiful edition of the Bri-ish
Poets—far more comprehensive tbaa the famed
Aldioe—which naiaata Fr«nci« O-iiia, of Har
vard College, has enrerlstemft.il with much taste,
learning, judgment. They have now brought
out In fancy cluth binding, with gold edges, and
the'blearest or pilot, on the ttnest of paper, new
editions of the mod popular of Moore’s, Scott’s,
and Byron’s poems—handsome 16mo. volumes,
equally adapted for the pocket, the parlor, the
boudoir, and ike library. The aeries opea* with
Moore's Irish Melodies, and also his National
Aire* &**red Songs, Set of Qlees, Ballads, and Mis
cejlsoiea. To on which moat persons think
Moore's ultimate reputation will mainly rest, are
prefixed the poet’s nuiobiosraphical preface to the
final and self edition collection of his poetical
writings, and his Eesxy on Irish Music, originally I
. the preface to the third number of the Irish Mslo* |
dies, A veiy complete collection of lyrics this vol
ume contains. Companion to it we have “L&L1&
Rookb.” and “Th* Loves of the Angels,” also in a
single volume, each poem prefaced by Moore’s own
history of its composition, and account of the cir
cumstances attending or following its appearance.
Sir Walter Scott is represented in this new and
Uniform issue by the reproduction (with the re
•peciive introductions which were nearly tha last
of his labors, which so charmingly told the story of
the rise and growth of biß poetical fame) of “The
Lay of the Last Minstrel,” w Marmion,” and “The
Lady of the These ate his best poems, and
none but the best are admitted into this issue.
11 Childe Harold,” the grandest and most thought
ful ol alibis writings (not excepting that wondrous
and wicked “ Bon Juan.” which condenses so much
knowledge of the world), is here put forth as tbs
representative ol Lord Byron’s genius. Complete
in this si gle volume of nearly four hundred pages
(yet not too bulky for use as a pocket companion),
here is the poem which made Byron famous in a
single day. Ail the historical notes to the Fourth
Canto are given here, without mutilation, and the
text has been corrected by the results of a compari
son with the manuscript, made in 1855. Than this,
th€Bf there cannot be a more correct edition of a
poem which will engage the' attention and win ih£
admiration of &U future readers of EagUsh poesy.
Smaller in size—that is, between the blue-and
gold and the 16020. edition*—isa volume containing
the poetical pioductions of John Keats, viz: the

the best ways of making money. If you have a
good article advertise it. A farmer, lor instance,
sows his seed, and while he is sleeping hU crops

i public school-house at Front and Pine streets was
discovered 16 be on fire. The flames, fortunately,
| were put out shortly after being discovered. A. ert
| tical examination was made by Fire Marshal Black
burn, who Anally came to the conclusion that the af
fair was a case of arson, but decidedly mysterious.
1 On the Saturday evening following, a stable in
- Lombard street, not very far distant from the achool
i house above alluded to, was discovered to be on fire/
i The flames were suppressed in a very short time,
I This was a clear case of arson. Suspicion fall upon
' a gang of boys loitering about that neighborhood.
. end a strict watch was kept upon them. A few
i days after this, two of the gang were suddenly
; pounced upon by a couple of police officers. One of
I the lads escaped. The one who was captured said,
? in a moment of terror, “ The other fellow set the
! cchoobhouse on fire; it wasn't me.” The fugitive
' isd was arrested and taken before Mr. Blackburn,
I and dually made a full confession to this officer.
Hi* story i* this: On retiring from school, he
thoughtlessly left a book behind. About 0 o’clock
in the evening he returned to the school-house, got
through a window, went to the closet where the
books were kept, struck a match or two, found his
book, and then threw the lighted match among some
rubbish on the floor of the closet.
His first impulse was to put his foot on the burn
ing paper, and thus tramp the fire'out. But in an
instant he changed his mind, and concluded to let a
burn, as he did not care much about going to school.
He thought this would be a good way of escaping
the infliction of school hours. The closet door was
doted} the boy got out of the window and went
away. About half past ten o’clock the flames, after
smouldering for four hours in a tight place, burst
forth. A domestic in a family living in the neigh
borhood discovered the light, and the alarm was
given. There are the curious facts ss to the origin
of the fire. The lad belongs to a respectable family
residing in the neighborhood. This is said to be his
first offence. Seven of the gang which he has of
late associated with were arresied, and the party
were arraigned in a semi-circular form before the
magistrate at the station* An outer circle was
formed of mothers and fathers, ready, of course, to !
swear their children never did anything wrong, j
We may stale that one of the boys had all the i
features or expression of Lsngfeltthe murderer; '
the remainder of them exhibited very little im< 1
piovement over this low standard. j
Police officers testified to the general condust of -
the boys. A number of the residents of the vicinity :
of their operations testified that the character of (
one was the character of all. They would steal any- «
thing they could lay their hands upon, at any time, i
day or night. They were continually pilfering, loi- ;
teriDg around street corners, and in alleys, out at »U ;
horns of-the eight, behaving disorderly, using ob- •
scene and profane language, and doing every thing :
calculated to annoy people generally.
The alderman put the boys through a course of ■
examination in the Central-Station catechism. !
2,976
u What keeps you out at night, until one and two
o’clock in the morning?” said he to the youngest of
the prisoners.
The boy hesitated.
“ Where do you got”
‘’Continental.”
“ Where do you go?” said he to another half
idiotic looking boy.
“Fox’s Oast-ns.”
“ And you, V pointing to another.
11 Continental.”
Such were the answers given to the questions pro
pounded by the magistrate, i'ro’m which it may be
inferred that money obtained by pilfering ia used to
obtain the necessary passport to places of gilded
vice and painted immorality. The boys wore sent
“down stairs K for ths present.
Now came another scene. Now the tears began
tc flow down the cheeks of whisky-loving mothers,
while wife-beating fathers thought it “very hard to
arrest children for nothing.” One of the mothers,
whoee face was as red as a sultry moon, declared
“ her boy never set fire to any place; a better boy
never lived.” Another woman wanted to know if
the alderman “ was going to take from her her only
support.”
So the scene was enacted until forbearance ceased
to be a virtue. The parents of the boys were made
to quail under a few well-timed and appropriate re
marks by the alderman, after which they left the
office.
Several females were committed aFthe Central
Station on Saturday. The police officers recovered
quite au amount of- stolen goods, shawls, dresses,
&c,, for which they want owners to come to the
Central Statiozr.tn prove property, &o.

14 THIS TRUS?
LIT THE RASf'FRW MONTHS’ HISTORY IN AND
_ AROUND PHILADELPHIA ANSWER.
Within the past year, as I am informed. Mr. John
Patterson, of Mount Joy, Penna . had hie $2OO Safe
opered by driving in the centre of the door with a
hammer, which sprung out the edge, and a sharp
pointed bar lorced open the door, and $lOO were taken.
Some tixo* last summer. Mr. Potts, the Freight Agent
Of the Beading Railroad, at Reading, left In his Sale at
his office, near $11,t03 taking all th* keys of the safe
home with him, and leaving Ms cl*rk in charge, who
was out of the office only about half an hour before nice
o’clock P. M. When Mr. Potts returned the next mor
ning end unlocked hie Safe, the mousy was gone, taken
out, evidently, with false kej 8.
M Judge Jordan. of fciunbucy. a few weeks since, left his
Safe (made e> tra with a ecael-plate in front of the lock)
in his office, with $1,2i0 in it; and on his return in the
morning, he found a square plate taken out of the door
In front of the lock, *vy Grilling a Micceesiou of holes
Borne fitly ie nuruoer; tha*t*el pla t* broken, the lock laid
bare, tie door « pened, flad the money gone.
.Within the laet two weeks Mr G«orge G. Kunkels, of
Harrisburg, left his Safo in his office with about $350,
and on his return found a hole panct.ed in the door-panel
oyer the lock, powder applied, tae door forced open, and
the money gone. This Safe cost $l4O, and was bought
within three years.
All the above safes were made, as I am informed, by
one of the popular nMnufacmr-rs of this city, and were
the common or»he*c-iron Safas.
Mr. Reynolds, of the house of F. W. Reynolds & Co.,
Bellefonte. Bankers, a few weeks since, loc&ed up hie
Safe and office and pat hiftletya in his pocket, and re*
tired to hit room. As lie got up in the morning he mfe&ed
his keys, and at once went to his ofline; fjund a part of
his keys on ihe floor, bis Safe and office doors open, and
a large amount of non*.y gone.
Mr. David McCormick, of Harrisburg, had his Safe
opened by punching a hole and applying powder, the
Bame night and in the same manner as hir. Kunkels’,
above referred to.
Tho New Chestnut street Theatre, in this city, a few
days elnc had the Safe blown open with powder, and
iossti ome 5-,'itW
On tho night of the JHh of November, 1863, Messrs.
McConkey & B.- o , at Peach Bottom, York county .Peina.
l ad a succession of holes Grilled in front of their Safe
lock. th« lock laid bare, and the Safe robbed of about
$1,600; $9OO of it in specie.
Mr. Howe/1 Dorman. Broad strpet,Philadelphia, a few
nights since had his S.ifo blown open.witn powder, but
the valuables vi ere not there.
Abt)Uf?foar weeks tines tiro fall msdiam-aSzed safes,
nearly new, were robbed at Wilmington, Del., by
punching a hole in the ooor panel, iust above the lock,
and tpply leg rowder. ‘j'heae Safns were BuccessfuUy
robbed the.came night, b&ing located near each other,
ana the building occupied on. both sides of them. X«osd
nez ascertained.
The last a«v* n Safes mentioned were all, as t am in
formed, made oy a* other of the popular makers of Fhiia
delphia. and were the common or sheet-iron Safe.
I mention, the above ens- a of robbery as a few among
the many that have come within my notice in this vici
nity, mostly within a few week* pavfc, with a’ view to
show not only th* frequency, but with what e&se and in
howmtny ways the coniaioa Saf.j is robbed Indeed
the time has arrived when intelligent, prudent men do
not thinko! trusting alone money or valuables available
to the burelar, a« a general rule, in the common Safe
Otherwise, robberies would be much more frequent
1 would say, farther, what do the faete as herein pre
sented prove i
First That a loti with a key is unreliable aud can
not be trusted. •
. Second. That strength to resist the hammer aud bar Is
indispensable to the Safe. <
Third. That the Safe must be drill*proof*
An examination of the structure of the Sheet-iron
or common Safe must show that it has none of these
requisites. mesa
the (tractur, of Lillie s Wrought
aud Chilled Ir- n .afe will show mat it has, strongly and
thoroughly,all these reuuisltes, J u
