Hew. John Pan-Irk I)ann. 1
The Rev. Jehn Patrick Dunn, pantorof St. John's
Roman Catholic Church, Thirteenth street, above
hesnut, died at T odors, this morning, at tbe pas.
terst residence adjoining the church, after a lln
rerinp; and painful illness.
Father Dunn lind for years past been subject to a
disease of the heart, which was liable to call htm to
is Maker at any moment. From Just such another
cause the late Itlfhop Newman was stricken down
In the prime of life whilst walking along one of our
street. Father Dunn, however, was granted a
longer time for preparation, although it is doubtful
whether he could have been better prepared at one
time than another, his whole course through life
having been that of a true follower of Christ.
Of late his sickness assumed a different shape, and
It has pnr.zled his physician to actually state the
true nature of what seemed to be a complication of
diseases. Home weeks ago his death was reported,
but such was a premature publication of tliatj which
at the time seemed, what It has since proved, an in
evitable result.
At times of late the deceased prelate improved or
appeared to improve somewhat, but bis constant
answers to his many friends, who took hope there
from, were, that he would never recover, that the
hope wss but a false one.
From the outset he resigned himself to death, and
awaited the approach of the Reaper with the resig
nation of a true Christian. He felt that his time
tad come, anil he looked forward to the heavenly
recompense he expected to secure for a life well
pent with all the assurance or a pure aud upright
la&rta
Father Pnnn was one of the eldest priest In this
diocese. He was born in the city of Dublin, Ire
land, in the year lsos, ana was educated at the cele
brated Maynooth College. He was ordained priest
by Archbishop Murray, of Dublin, and after being
on the mission in Ireland for several years, he came
to this country when quite a. young man, and locating
Jn Philadelphia, he was stationed at St. Mary s
Church, Fourth street, above Spruce, where he was
associated with Very Rev. Dr. Bauer, (the then)
Father Peter Ulchard Kenrlck, now Archbishop of
St. Louis, Itlght Rev. Francis Patrick Kenrlck, (then)
coadjutor Bishop of Philadelphia, and other dlgulta
rlcs of the Catholic Church. He built tbe Church of
SI. Philip de Nerl, on Queen street, above Second,
and being Its pastor duriag the memorable riots of
1M4, he made a narrow escape with his life from the
infuriated mob.
He subsequently went South, and on his return to
Philadelphia was appointed pastor of tbe Church of
St. Charles Borromeo at Kellcyvllle, snbseqaeutly of
St, Teresa's, Broad and Catharine streets, and finally
ef St. John's.
As a clergyman he was highly reverenced, not only
by the members of his own particular parish, but by
all professors of the Catholic religion. So great was
lils popularity that the mere announcement of his
name was sure to till any place selected for him to
lecture in. As an extempore speaker Father Dunn
was remarkably successful. Gifted with an exten
sive store of learning, a voice of that peculiar sweet
ness and softness ef tone for which many of his
countrymen have been noted, of a fine figure and
graceful movements, he won upon his audiences
from the start, and hiswords carried with them
got only instruction but effect.
lie was a man of great firmness of character, and
unusually dignified. He wua a member or the
Xishop's Ordinary Council, and his opinions carried
with them weight and significance. While the entire
Catholic community will mourn his loss, the congre
gation of St. John's will, in a particular manner, re
gret his decease, as that church was the scene of his
more recent active labors In this diocese.
Nor will his loss be felt alone by the Catholics, for
lnrlng the course of his early career he had made
many warm friends amongst our citizens, whose
esteem for him as a rasa will add the more to the
poignancy of their grief. Hkhuikscat in pace.
Henry Granibo, Faq.
We chronicle the demise yesterday of Henry
Grambo, Esq., who has been long and favorably
known In our business community as a gentleman of
great energy and business ability, and was much
beloved by a large circle of personal acquaintance.
Nr. Grambo was brought up In the old established
publishing bouse of tirigg, Elliott A Company, now
sulK-eedeil by Messrs. JONhua B. Ltpplncott & Com
pany, and was, on the withdrawal ol Mr. John Grlgg
from the bok business, associated with the succes
sors under the name and title of Lippincott, Grambo
A Co. Mr. Grlgg soon afterwards entered on the
banking busiuexs In Walnut street, and Mr. Grambo
became his cashier, In which position he accepted
the cashiershlp of the Commonwealth Bank on Its
organization in 185T, and for several years acceptably
discharged the responsible duties of that position.
Mr. Grambo resigned the cashiershlp to enter on the
real estate business, in which he was not very suc
cessful, and recommenced the book and stationery
business In North Second street, aud was engaged in
the establishment of Messrs. Moss Brothers .t Co.,
Chesnut street, from which ho started, last Decem
ber, the lu)ok and stationery business at No. 001
Chesnut street, but succumbed to the general dull
ness iu business circles, and after a brief career
retired from business. The announcement of his
ieath was quite unexpected.
BURGLARY.
TheHobbery nt WllrnV- Pollock' How Temp
tations are Placed lo the Way of Uurjiriars.
Very few of the members of this vast community,
outside of that peculiar circle called "Ilcportoriul,"
know anything, comparatively, of the deeds ami
fictions of the rest. Deeds of shame, of theft, of
madness, of demonism, and sometimes of nature
mwt horrible, often ocour.and the busy public knows
nothing, nor even dreams thereof, until the result of
perhaps earnest search, and ofttliucs arduous labor,
is placed before them in the shape of a newspaper
account.
What we are about to append below we did not
Obtain from police records, or Individual ambition to
appear iu print, but on the contrary reached It in the
name manner, style, and way that the cnetgetlc de
tective who now has charge of the case hopes and
will undoubtedly overtake the principal actors
therein, simply by perseverance and attention to bu
Hiness. On Friday morning the dry goods store, No.
4'J N. Eighth street, occupied by Messrs. Wiler Pol
lock, was entered by burglars and robbed of some
fuoo worth of silks, in the way of remnants and
pieces; that more was not taken no doubt is due to
the fact that the operators did not wish to deplete
the market. The loss was not discovered until the
arrival of the members of the linn at an early busi
ness hour, or course, the ail'alr was at once set down
as not only wonderlul but atrocious, particularly the
latter, but they had yet to have their eyes opened
Btlll wider.
The matter was reported to the efficient and suc
cessful Chler or the Detective Department, John
Kelley, who, without delay, placed the case In the
hands of one or his able assistants, Mr. David Gor
don. Mr. Gordon repaired to the store, and upon
examination was struck, not with wonder, but rather
with astonishment, that any Urm should have set
fluch a tempting bait before the "set" called burglars.
He round that the three burglurs, for such Is the
iMimber supposed lo have been euguged, hud Urst
tried to bore open a back door, but desisting thereia,
on account or the noise made in catting through the
sheet-iron Inside covering, turned their attention to
an Iron-barred window.
The window and door are both In the rear end or
the premises, reached by au alleyway leading from
Eighth street, between Nos. 47 and 4'i a place, or
course, never visited by the night watchman, who
ever he may be. The burglurs, on examination,
round that the firm had been most kind to them ; the
bars had been nicely titled into wooden guards or
sills, and to bore a hole In one end and wrench out
the Irons were but the work or a moment. The
centre bar or cross piece was tlieu pulled down, and
nothing barred their progress but the window sash.
Here, too, the linn had been most kind; upon the
inside or the sash was Ilxed a patent clasp for the
proper Becurement or the same; this had baeu left
unfastened, and all the burglars had to do was to
hoist up the sash, walk in, help themselves, aud
leav. Again, they knew exactly where to find the
object of their visit, for on the previous afternoon
jhey had called in the store and hud been taken back
to this very window in order tbe better t view a
piece of silk. It or course did not suit them, hut
the occasion suited them to observe where It was
taken rrom and where replaced.
Mr. Uordou knew from the Urst view that none but
experienced "cracksmen" hud performed the job,
aud he also knew that an easier feat they never ac
complished. It Is not to be presumed that the arm
knew anything of the burglary until the discovery of
their loss; but It is to be presumed that others will
take a lenson therefrom, ami not trust for rrotectlon

A NriRAKCK. It Is now some months since the
Patterson bonded warehouses were destroyed by
fire, and enough time has elapsed to allow of the re
moval of all the debris, and for the commencement
of a series of new bnlldlag. With the latter this
article has nothing to do; with the former a great
deal. Instead of a systematized plan having been
adopted In the clearing away process, carelessness
seems to have reigned. Lumber, stone, bricks, Iron,
etc, that could or wonld prove of any future nse,
have been carefully gathered and hauled away.whllst
the remaining portion, fitly styled rnbblsh, has been
allowed to stnnd In the middle and on the side of
Sonth street, to the great annoyance or the neighbors,
and the Inconvenience or all business men who are
compelled to use the street as a public thoroughfare.
The pile of dirt, cinders, old tin, brickbats, etc,,
covers over one hair or the street, and It is with diffi
culty that a single vehicle can pass. The residents
have frequently appealed to the High Constable
having charge of the district to have the annoyance
removed, and he has as often reported the case to
the proper authorities, but. through some unex
plained reason, the mass has been allowed to remain
In Its present condition. If Mayor Fox does not
know it, he should acquaint himself with the facts,
and at once order that speedy measures be taken for
the clearing of the now obstructed street.

Mr. Newmarcb, tbe President, raised a ques
tion of some interest at the Statistical Society.
He proposed that at the next meeting of the
Intermit iouul Statistical Congress, the Council
should demand the use of the English language
as well ns the French and German. It seems
strange that the language of the chief and most
numerous statistical countries should be ex
cluded. England, the States of the Union, the
Colonies, and India furnish a copious supply of
statistics. In diplomacy the English and Ame
rican ministers have succeeded in obtaining the
recognition of their lauguage for communica
tions addressed by them.
In a convocation of the University of Ox
ford recently, a grant of 200 was passed to
assist Mr. J. "II. Parker in the excavations which
are being made at Rome under his direction;
and a statute was promulgated accenting a pro
posal made by the same gentleman for endowing
the iiecpcrsiup oi tne Asnmoiean .Museum with,
the annual sum of ,4:J50, in addition to the pre
sent stipend; intending to require the keeper to
provide occasional lectures ou points in archico
logy, which may be illustrated by objects in the
Museum, Mr. Parker himself to be the first
keeper under this arragement. Another decree
was also promulgated increasing the salary of
the Teacher of lliudostani, which provoked a
disci sslon, in which the proceedings of the Civil
Sei vice Commissioners for India were strongly
commented upon. A third decree was also pro
mulgated allowing females to be examined by
tue Utlegates of the Oxford Local Examina
tions. The London Athenwuni says: Until a short
time ago American works ou tlh and angling
were nothing but reproductions of English pub
lications. Indeed, it was a British writer, Moses
II. Perley, of New Iirunswick, who first gave
American uugling writers the idea of attempting
something new iu that department of literature.
Mr. Allertou has published in tbe States a work
on "lirook Trout.'" The party of gentlemen
whose exploits are there narrated spent the
month of June in the wilds of Northern Maine,
and captured in one week nearly five hundred
pounds of river trout (.the common trout of
Varrell), the largest of which weighed nine
pounds. The two latest and best books on
American angling, which preceded that of Mr.
Allerton, were by G. C. Scott and Thaddeus
Nwrris. They are full of information, and
creditably illustrated; and while the former de
votes special attention to a purely American
fish called the 6trired busse or rock fish, the
latter Is the best American authority, in book
form, ou the art of salmou-lishlng in the British
provinces.

The Cuban duration.
Special Derpatch to The Evening TeltyrapK
EH
Washington, Dec. 28. The statement that
the President is about to change his policy rela
tive to Cuba is not credited, and nothing is
known of it by Cabinet Ministers. The story
probably originated from an effort which is
being made oy Congressmen to induce the
President to grant the Cubans belligerent rights.
Secretary Fish says no information has been re
ceived since the President's message was sent to
Congress, which would warrant a departure
from the line of policy there laid down. Nor
is it true that Mr. Sumner has abandoned his
objection to, the recognition of Cuba.

A movement has been started here by admi

states that no indications are given by the

Minister Motley is of the opinion that the

ment. The regular Cabinet meeting to-day was dis

Washington, Dec. 28. Mr. Blackfan, Super
intendent of the Foreign Mail Service, left this
morning for New York to endeavor to transfer
from Cunard and German Lloyd's steamship

A correspondent of a Calcutta paper makes

who at once rushed Into his arms wLh tho ex
clamation: "Oh! my dear husband!" The
reporter wished to soothe the agitated feelings of
the little unfortunate, and stroked her hair
caressingly as he replied: "'Why, my little dear,
did you think I would stay away from you ?"
"No." she innocently replied, "you always liked
to kiss me." "But you know you are iusane,

L. S. Graves, of Louisville, shot himself in
that city a short time ago. He had an insurauce
policy of $5000 on his life containing the follow
ing clause: If tho insured "shall die by his own
hand, by delirium tremens, or the use of opium,
or In consequence of a duel, or the laws of any
nation, ytate, or province, the policy shall be
void." In a suit to recover the insurance, the
jury, 6trangely enough, found for the widow ou
the ground that the assured was at the time in a
momentary fit -of moral insanity, which sub
jected his will and impelled the homicido beyond
the power of self-control or successful resist
ance. The court held that the inevitable act of
au insaue man who, in that respect, is morally
dead, is not in the sense of the law or the recited
conditions his voluntary act.
A writer has recently traced the strange
phraBe "Over the left" to the records of the
liartford County Courts, in the colony of Con
necticut. "At a County Court held at Hartford,
September 4, 170S.
"Whereas James Steel did commence uu action
against llevell Waters (both of Hartford) In this
court, upon hearing and tryall where of the court
pave judgment against the said Wuters (as In justice
they thlnn they ought) upon the dftclarinir tne said
judgment, tbe said Waters did review to the court la
Atareh next, that belug granted and entered, the
said Waters, as he departed from the table, he said.
(Jod b(e you over the Uft shoulder.' Tho court order

Test.
"Caleb Stani.kv, Clerk."
At the next court, Waters was tried for contempt,
for saying the words recited, "so cursing the court,"
and on verdict flnd 6. He asked a review of the
court following, which was granted, and pending
trial the court asked counsel of the Bev. Messrs.
Woodhrldge and Buckingham, the ministers of the
Hartford churches, as to the "common acceptation"
of the oilenslve phrase. Their reply constitutes a
part of the Becord, and is as follows:
"Wo are of opinion that those words, said on the
other side to be spoken by lievell Waters, inuludc(l)
propbaneness, by using the name of God, that Is
holy, with such 111 words whereto It was joyned ;(2)
that they carry great contempt In them, arising to
the degree of an Imprecation or curse, the words of
a curse the most contemptible that can ordinarily b
used. "T. Woodbkiiwk,
