' Partial Recovery or stolen Bonds. Mr. Turreii Tuttle, the broker at No. 134 8. Third street, who was robbed yesterday morning of a tin box contain ing valuable bonds and deeds, has recovered a por tion of their contents under singular circumstances. W hile sitting at his residence. No. 1450 N. Eleventh street, last evening, he heard his dog barking vio lently in the rear yard, and pent a servant to ascer tain the cause. She returned with a big bundle con taining nearly all of the stolen papers. About 650 shares of railroad and other stocks and $1300 of coupons have not been returned. These, however, nave been extensively advertised, and the thieves may yet be caught on the offering of them for sale. -The gentleman so shabbily tleeced quietly walked down Third street this morning, carrying a new tin tx)X in the place of the one not returned ; and upou the last comer we have had the privilege of Jotting down this item. Fruit Festival Tho Sunday School of the Broadway M. E. Church of Camden Is now making mn earnest effort to replenish and increase its library. .For the purpose of raising the necessary funds, a fruit festival will be held for several days aud even ings, commencing on Tuesday next, in a spacious tent adjoining the church. Stolons, peaches, Ice cream, and other refreshments will be furnished in great abundance, and as the object for which the festival Is to be held is a worthy one, and the church Is needy, we hope that the enterprise will receive the liberal support of the citizens of Camden. Oncr Mors to the Ska.

Burglaries and Bros in thin city have had an alarming frequency of late such a frequency, in fact, that, all onr notions of the Impregnability of burglar-proof safes and , fire-proof buildings have sintered absoln' extinction. 'I ho safest risks known to the underwriters have entailed the heaviest losses, and safes of triple doors, hardened material, and complicated locks have been "gone through" like cigar-boxes. A man nowadays that has a money bng, if he wishes to retain it, must, sit upon it; or, has he a dwelling or store, he most sleep upon Its roof sur rounded by ready water buckets. A place offering every access to a robber, seems to be no more fre quently despoiled than one b irred, bolted, and vigi lantly watched, and aware of this fact, perhaps we should not entertain any surprise at the robberv ol last night, but consider that Its fate to be sacked some time has already transpired. This morning at an early hour It was discovered that the ottlce of the Receiver of Tuxes, at the S. H. corner of (sixth and Chesniit streets, bad been en tered and robbed. Tim safe doors were standing open, bnrglurlous Instruments lay around, and the bricks and mortar of demolished walls strewed the tloor. An examination disclosed that some ji,niMi In cash and about fttfi.hiiii In drafts, checks, etc., making a total of f 10,000, were missing. As. yet no clue h is been discovered likely to lend to the apprehension of the robbers. The otlloo of the KoeHvor of Tuxes. Mr. John M. Melloy, occupies a portion of the llrst floor of tin: west wing of Independence Hall: the remainder bn Ing taken up by the old room of the Court of (Quarter Sessions, Kunnlng between the t wo, with an en trance on Sixth street, and an exit on tin- avenue reaching between the wmg and the main building to the Square In the rear.ls a wide entry way. 1 iponing it pirn this entry.u door f ordinary dimensions udiuits to the office, and passing through It. we are at once in the wide room occupied by the clerks of Mr. Melloy. Around three of Its walls the northern, eastern, and western are stationed desks, guarded by wooden railings, eiich of t hem appropriated to a single clerk. Against the southern wall, resting upon foundations in the collar, Is built the lire-proof safe or vault of the olllce. It is some 20 feet in length by t! or 7 In width. Within it again Is placed what was deemed a burglar-proof safe, of small capacity, but heavily made. This latter was the receptacle of the mon-y received in the olllce during the day; each clerk, who had a small tin box solely to himself, placing therein the money he himself hud taken, and then depositing both iii the sure. The ontoror larger safe is built of brick, and Is closed in with an iron door. Within the court-room back of the olllce, and the entry-way mentioned between the two. the homeless boot-blacks and newsboys who congregate In that neighborhood by scores frequently sleep at night, and as there they are in nobody's way and doing no harm, they are seldom dis turbed. Last night the little fel lows slumbered there as usual some In the court room, a few in the entry. About nine o'clock they were rudely awakened by three men, who repre sented themselves us officers, and ordered to leave under pain of being "locked tip'' a terror to the poor children. Of course they obeyed, not doubting the authority of the strangers, and lelt afterwards gathering on the steps of the building aud resting against Its walls. Some tune after their ejectment, they heard a noise like pounding or hammering. It was not loud but perceptible, and continued, accord ing to the testimony of the boys, until 2 o'clock this morning. JTIiey knew it was unusual, but suspected nothing wrong; mi l the apple-man at. the corner, together with the hot-corn woman on the stops, agreed with them that It wns occa sioned by the men who had summarily driven out the Rloppers making some repairs Inside. At 2 o'clock the boys noticed the men make a hasty or rather a running exit from the eastern door of the biiilding,and disappear in thediirknoss of the square, into which they directed their flight Previously to this, a circumstence that they niw remember, they hud observed two other men prowling around the corner ull the evening and night, vanishing with those who hud been inside tho olllce. Of the two outsiders, one walked constantly around the angle of the buildicg, tirst on Sixth, then on Cliesnut street, while his comrade stood leaning against the wall of the ofllc.e, directly beneath a window, evidently for the purpose of hearing whether the operators within made too much noise, an-i apprising them If they did. That borner never being without an occupant all night long, no interest or surprise was excited by the pre sence ol the strangers. At this point further testimony fails the re mainder of the story must be speculation. An ex amination of the windows of the Court-room ren ders it more than probable that the burglars effected an entrance Into the building by forcing the sash of the one at the southeast corner, and thence easily gaining the floor inside. Here they stum bled over and aroused the sleeping boys, and llrst arousing, then drove them from the place. From the court-room they Issued on the entry by means of a door which opensfthither thence they proceeded to the rear door of the Tax Receiver's office, likewise opening on the entry. This was easi ly forced, the simple weight of a man, or the pres sure of his shoulder, being all that was required to burst it and admit to the ofllce. Their llrst task after getting into this room was to draw the shades of the street windows. Then they collected the dusters and olllce coats of the clerks, which hung upon the walls, and gathered together everything else which could serve to deaden the sound of the bricks as they tell from the wall of the safe during the operation of demolishing it. On the tloor, immediately in front of the Iron door of the safe, they piled the garments. The cut ting of the wall by means of chiselB, and Its tearing away by means of crowbars, were then successfully finished. The holdings of the lock being removed, the door of the outer safe was thrown open, and the burglars were at the small one containing the treasure. Here their task was more ditllcult, but they accomplished It. Manifestly, they were experts, and hud come fully prepared with all needed tools. Several hours must have elapsed before they succeeded in chiselling out that piece of the safe door In which the lock was buried, but when once It was out the prize within was theirs. The tin boxes were lifted from their places, broken open and rilled, and everything else of any value in side tne sine nas Disappeared, i-.itner now or before the drawers of the different desks of the clerks were forced, and their contents abstracted. A complete ransacking of the olllce was made. MSB! Something at length must have frightened them away. This is evidenced both by the testimony of the boot-blacks, who saw them run from the build ing, and by the fact that between three anil four hundred dollars In money and twenty-live hundred in checks were found upon the floor this morning. A precipitate flight only would have dropped this money. These are the facts of the robbery. The detectives ure already engaged upon the case, but as yet have fallen upon nothing to give auy hope of the discovery of the perpetrator. Got Hold of tub Wrono Customer A Jersey- man, yesterday, was driving through the Seven teenth ward a cart containing tomatoes, which he was disposing of at u far lower rate than the grocery men In the vicinity could afford to sell them. They had him arrested and taken before Alderman Shoe maker, on a charge or huckstering without a license. After all the witnesses hail given their testimony. Jersey, to thetr surprise, produced the license from his pockets. They then charged him with not liavlmr a number for his cart, and on this the Alderman held nun for iiiurtner hearing.

It will do nothing that the Republican parly can t ill revolutionary ; nor will it do aught that wilt injure vital Interests of the Slate as tnov at present, exist. The white people feel kindly toward the negroes, ami stokes ilnl not speak truly when tie sum that they were beginning to persecute tin blacks as of old. As for his talking about, having the tlection niillilled by the federal (iovern- mcnt, that is all buncombe. 1 he election Is a llxeit ict. It whs as fair a one as was ever held In unv State, and the (iem-ral (Government would have 110 more right to nullify it than it would to nullity an election in Massachusetts. The "resirictivcs charg-: thut since the election outrages and murders by "ltebels" have become frequent, which is another falsehood, put two men have been killed In the Slate since the election, and they were men who voted for me, and thev were killed while wrangling about politics by Stokes men, one of the murderers having iieen at one time an ottlcer in his regiment. Political. Mr. Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Un- irttv, and Mr. William Henry Smith, of the Chronicle, of that city, are making stuiau speeches for Geueral Hayes. Williams, the colored conservative orator. opens the ball in Mississippi, assisted by S. W. jiannoway (colored ), ot v lrgmiu. Judges Jot fcrds and Williams have published their lists of ippointmcnts to address the people. The SpriuglieM (Massachusetts') Hepuhlicati thinks thut John X. Hoffman, Governor of New lork, w ill be the next President of the L'nited .States. He might be if it were not that the Re publicans propose to have ;i word to say on the uoject. The Little Rock (Arkansas') fiazcttc, a Dem ocratic paper, says ot the Rebel armies: "The men who composed them yet live. The truths wiiicn animated them m the struggle still live, and will continue to live as long as the Consti tution of our great Republic shall stand." Kupbucl t'cmmes, ex-pirate, ex-judge ol probate, ex-editor, cx-professsor of moral phi losopher, and sixth-rate public lecturer, uses up three columns of a Mobile paper in asserting that he has not been ''bribed to do the dirty work of carpet-baggers and scalawags." While the Democratic Convention, says a Roston paper, acknowledged by a cheap resolu tion the "courage and bravery" of the men who defended the flag of our country during the war, they were careful not to give any of them a place on their State ticket. The soldiers will remember this. The Republicans of Warren county. Ohio, are divided into two parties, the allopatliists aud tne nomreopatnists, tne physicians ot the former school defeating every candidate who has em ployed a doctor of tho latter practice. It has been suggested that each school ought to he compelled to take its own medicines. Colonel John F. Asner. member of Comrress from Missouri, opposes the present enfranchise ment of the ex-Rebels in that State.

There is a locality in ilichigan known as the St. Joseph fruit district, which has produced already 80,000 ousneis 01 ucrries, w itn au.uuu bushels ot black berries yet to be gathered, nnd 800,000 bushels of peaches ripening. The sources of supply are set down by a local newspaper as follows: Peach trees M10.000 Quince trees 9,000 Pear trees vjo.oih) Crape vines 140,000 Plum trees 20,000 Strawberries, acres 830 cherry trees 2i,(K)0 Blackberries, acres 700 Apple trees 100,000 Raspoernes, acres. 300 A similar development of fruit culture is no ticeable elsewhere at the West, and speaks well for American agricultural enterprise. N. Y. Sun. 1.1,000 Worth of (Silverware Stolen. At tl-45 o'clock on Thursday night the Thirty second Precinct police notified the Central Ollice by telegraph that at 4 P. M. the residence of Mr. A. Schauck was robbed of about $15,000 worth of silverware and jewelry, and that no arrests were made. The particulars of the affair, us fjlvcn bv the telegraph, were so meagre that Inspector Walling telegraphed back for further particulars, and received a reply that "Mrs. Schuuek and servants were at home, aud saw the thieves get out of a window." Only this and nothing more! The stupidity of the ser geant in command at the Carmansville police station, whence the despatch came, prevented the possibility of obtaining any further particu lars of the robbery lust night. It was, however, learned that Mr. Alfred Schauck, the victim, is a wealthy iron founder, doing business at No. 4:50 Fir!t avenue, and resided at Carmansville. It is more than probable that the house was entered by sneak thieves, who ascended to one of the upper tloors and succeeded in making their escape with the valuable plunder A. Y. World.

The President sent for him, yesterday, to joiu tho New Hampshire party, and he is now In Con cord, N. II., instead of his own Concord, where he has been quietly spending the last few weeks. He has au cngugemeut on Saturday to visit his predecessor and cousin, Mr. Evarts, at his sum mer home iti Windsor, Vt., and so will probably be unable to go with Secretary Robeson's party to Portsmouth, according to invitation. Mr. Boutwell is in Groton, at work on his annual report, and, apparently, will not join General Grant in New Hampshire. , JHiiiBCHota Wheat Crop. The statistician of Minnesota, alter 11 careful tour of observation through the State, estimates the average yield of the present wheat crop at 1834 bushels per acre. In former years the an nual increase in wheat tillage has been about 'SO per cent. This year it is estimated at SO per cent., and a large part of this increase is made up by the opening of new farms in newly settled districts. Last year the area of the wheat crop was said to be 003,500 acres average yield about 17 bushel, per acre, and the total product some thing over 10,000,000. With SO per ceut. in crease in breadth, there is, therefore, this year, about 1,100,000 acres In wheat, which, witu an average return of eighteen and a half bushels per acre, will yield the product of over 20,000,000 tutJut'to.

Until the Americans retrieve this defeat they must acknowledge that our style of rowing is the beet. 1 lie Americans met with perlcetlv bur piny, and if the Englishmen go to America they will meet with similar treatment.

The Star says the Americans will long re member the chlvalric bearing of their oppo nents, who, though resolved to win, never forgot that the Harvards were foemen worthy of their "oars." The strife between New nnd Old Eng land on the river from which the Pilgrim fathers started has a historic side, and appeals to the imagination of the youth of both countries. If New England had won, tho older country would have shared in the triumph of its descendants, but the fates decided otherwise. We are sure the Harvards would sooner be beaten by us than by any other nation on the globe. Nnpoloon'a Ilenlth. Paris, Aug. 23.

A Provincial Torsion of ilndstonc's IlrlKl't'n Opinions. nnd From the Toronto Leader, A ug. 24. It is t be regretted that at a time when some rather hotheaded people are busying themselves in urging the "independence" of Canada, the Eirst Minister of the Crown in England should have said anything in his place in Parliament which would seem to favor the independence idea. We say "seem to favor the idea," because we do not think that Mr. Gladstone's remarks, which we publish elsewhere to-day, will bear all that it will be attempted to make out of them. He spoke, indeed, of tho existing sjs tcm ns a vicious one, and said that it encouraged a feeling of dependence upon Great Britain. He clearly indicated, we take it, that we need no longer look to the mother country to keep up a considerable standing army here at tho expense of the ratepayers "at home," and that, perhaps, the systems of guarantees had beeu carried about as far as was desirable. Further than this his remarks did not go. There are many people in Canada who are inclined to go a loug way with Mr. Gladstone. They are willing to admit that there is no good reason, arising out of tho colonial connection, why a largo regular forto should bo stationed here iu times of peace, and that we must ourselves soon come to consider if it bo not con sistent with onr position and standing, and not incompatible with our resources, to look more after our own defenses than we have been In the habit of doing. We have certainly been de pendent upon Great liritaia to a great extent. Cannot we be less so without rushing to ex tremes and endeavoring to force on a state of things which would, if brought about now, bo most assuredly a steppiug-stouo to annexation ? Most assuredly wo think we can. While we say this wo cannot conceal from ourselves thut what Is known as tho "Independ ence Party ' in England hold strong views about tho colonial connection, and most unequivocally desire to see it destroyed, believing that all colo nies are nowadays a dead weight. We are quite free to admit that even in Government circles in London this spirit has found a lodgment. There is a story told bearing upon this question, for which we do not vouch, but which comes to us with pretty good authority. A prominent gentleman of Montreal, himself an avowed "in dependence" man we might, perhaps, even say an annexationist lately in England on pub lic buMuess, had au interview with Mr. John Bright. The conversation turned upon colonial annexation. Mr. Bright, having felt his way for some time, at last put to our Montreal friend, broadly, tho queston, "How soon do you think a disruption of tho present connection will take place i" The Montrealur replied: "Well, perhaps In tho coarse of ten years." "Ten years!'' responded Mr. Bright, ""why, I had thought it would take place in ten months." It is not improbable that Mr. Bright, in his intense admiration for republican institu tions and dislike of all colonies, may have made this remark. If he has, we can only say It is a pity that such an one should hold an import ant position In the imperial government. 1 The Wntorina Plnoo. &rimn nf tlm N'tiicrnr', ttn.ljiw,n 1. ......
