It la well known that the regular subscrip
tion to Dkmoiif.st's Monthly Magazine is ?3.
That wo may bring our Journal to every house
in this county, we have made nrrniigcinents,by
which we are enabled to send the JSloouiJleld
Timet and DemorctCt Monthly for one year
for ?3 00.
This Monthly etands unrivaled as a family
magazine. Its choice literature, Its superior
music, Its largo amount of valuable Informa
tion In regard to the Fashions, and artistic il
lustrations, give it a just claim to Its well-earned
title, "The Model Magazine of America."

Disappearance of an Island.
A lurjrc island is missing. Capt. l'lock,
of-the barquo Adolphc, bound from
Ljuiquo to London, states, that while
passing the New Hebrides Island, he
discovered that Aurora Island had entire
ly disappeared, and no trace of it was to
bo seen on tho face of the ocean whero
it was before situated. What makes (his
occurrence the more deplorable, says the
"Pall Mall Gazette," is that Aurora was
one of tho most fertile of the group of
islands of which it formed a member.
It was last seen in latitude 15-2 S., longi
tude 1G8-25 E ; it is described aa having
been about thirty-six miles in length, and
upwards of five miles in length, and up
wards of live miles in breadth. Any iu
formatiou respecting it will bo thankfully
received and it becomes a question wheth
er a reward should not be offered fur its
recovery. If large islands take to disap
pearing in this fashion we shall soon cease
to congratulate ourselves upon our "insu
lar position. There is, however, the
consolation that if England were todis
pear like Aurora Island, thcro would, no
doubt, be a rigid investigation made into
tho circumstances by tho rest of this
world. Franco would miss a useful de
pot for her refugees ; Ireland would suffer
from ennui with no one to abuse ; and
wo may be sure that, unless wo had
previously settled the Albania claims,
America would never rest until she had
fished us up again.
Gunpowder riot at Harvard College.
On Thursday evening a week, some of
tho students of Harvard College exploded
a largo kecr of powder in the cellar of
Stoughton Hall, one of the dormitics im
mediately under tho rooms occupied by
members of tho freshman class. The
result was tho destruction of almost ev
ery thing in two of the rooms, tho shock
lifting tho floor more than a foot, tearing
up a plank in each of tho rooms, scat
tering and destroying their contents, and
sending tho occupants forcibly up against
tho ceiling. In two of tho adjacent
rooms the floor was divided and ono part
raised nearly a foot. Tho rooms were
soon filled with smoke, which, pouring
up through tho floor increased tho ter
ror of tho already affrighted occupants.
An alarm of the fire was started and the
Cambridgo firo department turned out,
but fortunately their services wero not
needed.
Some idea of tho power of tho con
cussion may bo gained from tho fact that
persons in the second story above wero
knocked off their feet, and tho pictures
hanging in tho rooms in the third story
were shaken from their nails to tho floor.
The strangest thing abour tho explosion
' is that nobody was hurt. A person pass
ing by the outside was knocked down by
' the rush of air from the cellar, and al
most stunned. Tho whole affair is charg
ed upon the sophomores, but nothing defi
nite is known. A quantity of fuse was
found in tbo cellar, which may aid in de
tecting the criminals. President Elliot
the next morning at chapel spoke of tho
outrage, and desired the cooperation of
the students in bringing the perpetrators
to justice.
Attempted Burglary nt tho Mechanics'
- Saving Hnnk. . ::.rz
i On Friday night last, some daring bur
glars attempted to rob the vault of the
Mechanics' Saving' 3ank, corner, of
Eighth Avenue and Twelfth Street and
were only unsuccessful in their efforts by
tho manner in which tho vault has been
built. An cutranco was effected by means
of prying open ono of tho windows open
ing on Eighth Avenue with a jimmy.
Ueing supplied with a complete kit of
burglars tools, once insido tho building
they immediately turned their attention to
tho door of tho vault, and from tho marks
left of their manipulations determinedly
worked to accomplish their designs. Tho
door of tho vault and lock, built by Her
ring, Farrel & Sherman, of New York,
arc of a very complicated nature, and
three heavy iron flanges had to bo dis
posed of before tho burglars could enter
tain the thought that their efforts would
be crowned with success. Uy means of
a number of wedges and chisels of all
sizes and styles, tho first flange was chis
eled through, but the next one being
much heavier, they found it utterly im
possible to make any impressinu upon it.
Their working at the side only served to
more effectually tighten tho door of tho
vault at tho top and tho bottom. From
the marks left on the door and flanges
it is natural to suppose that, 'they worked
no little time in endeavoring to gain an
entrance at this point, but finding that
it would be impossible to do so, thoy de
sisted all further attempts here and
shifted their quarters to a new and what
they supposed would present a finer field
of labor, llcpairing to tho side of the i
vault, near tho rear, thoy tore off the
wainseoatiug for a considerable distance
but finding the wall built of heavy gran
ite thoroughly cemented, they wisely came
to-the conclusion that all attempts to ac
complish their purposes would prove
futile, and that considerable more time
than one night would be necessary to
gain admittance to the vault of the Me
chanics' Saving bank, consequently they
beat a retreat, leaving their wedges in
position in tho door of the vault, and
nearly all their tools scattered over the
floor.
Their workings must certainly have
been very quietly proceeded with, as
people aro passing that locality at all
hours id' tho night and had any unusual
noise been made it could havo been heard
Among the tools left in the Hank were
a sledge hammer, jimmy, wedge.?, chisels,
&c., two pairs of overalls and jackets, and
also a pick handle, which was found
standing by the window, and was doubt
less intended to be used n.i a weapon of
defense should their movements bo dis
covered and their capture attempted
Tho completo manner in which the
vault has been constructed was the only
barrier which impeded their progress, as
the burglars - were iul!y equipped with
everything requisite to ply their vocation,
and the many visible marks of their
manual labor plainly tell that they ex
erted themselves to tho utmost to accom
plish their nefarious purposes.
A number of the tools used, have been
identified, and some clue has been ob
tained which wo earnestly hopo may re
sult in tho apprehension of tho burglars
and should such bo tho case, the bold
villians may rest assured that stern and
unrelenting justice will bo speedily meted
out to them. Altoona Tribune.
The Next Apportionment. The
IIouso of llepresentatives now has 214
members. 13y tho new law, Congress,
under tho next apportionment, i3 to have
23-t members. Tho census returns indi
cate that tho population is about 38,000,
000, an increaso of 7,000,000 since 18G0.
This will give about 163,258 population
to a member. Tho New England States
will each loso ono member, Massachusetts
losing two. New York will loso four,
Pennsylvania and Ohio three each. Of
the Southern States, Virginia, North Car

the Western States, Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas gain one,
each, and Illinois and Missouri two. New

is tho only State on the Atlantio coast
which will gain. Of tho whole country,
New England loses seven, tho Middle
States nine, and the Southern States threo

A Caution to Publishers.
-Hie-most outrageous swindlo which
lias como to our knowledge is tho fol
lowing : A paper called " Moore's Rec
ord," (it is a pity a true record of tho fel
low could'nt bo had,) is sent to a large num
ber of papers throughout tho country.
Tho "Record" purports to bo published by
Moore, Howard & Co., advertising agents,
C17 Locust street, nnd contains advertise
ments of It. A. Carty, 315 Chestnut St.,
Philadelphia, and of L. Perkins & Co.,
Wilmington, Del., which a slip mailed
with tho paper authorizes tho recipient to
publishjbills for such insertion to be sent to
the abovo agency. Tho wholo thing is a
gross swindle, there being no such firm as
M. II. & Co. at tho designated number in
Locust St., nor probably any whero else.
Neither is thcro any such person as McCar
ty at 315 Chestnut street. As to Perkins
& Co., wo cannot say, but a person is
judged by the company they keep, and 1'.
& Co. are in very bad company.
