entering his house in the Fifth Weird, with
a trunk in his hand. The alarm was sound

Flannigan was arrested, and a trunk found
in the yard attached to the house, which
on examination at the Mayor's office, was
identified by Mr. Plumer. • It contained
some $50,000 worth of property and papers,
and clothing to the value of $4O, none of
which had been disturbed. Flannigan was
locked up in the watch house, and after an
examination by the morning, committed

A Slander on the Democracy.
We dislike e x eeed in gly to devote AO much
room to the Erpress, but the Democratic
party has a claim upon us to defend it
whether assailed by profesied friends or
open foes. The Eepreas, as some of our
readers are doubtless aware, is a new paper
here. Its reputed Editor is a Democrat,
if a Democrat at all, of nine week's standing
—his citizenship in Erie county dates from
the same auspicious moment as his Democ
racy. Less months ago than we have been
years in the service of the Democracy of
Erie, this Editor was a candidate before the
Republican Convention of Warren county
for its nomination for the As.sembly. Had
he received that nomination lie would be
now, at this moment, preaching Republican
doctrine and casting &put/jean votes among
the Republicans of the present legislature.
Such ere the political antecedents of the
Editor of the Erpress--and yet this FAitor,
with antecedents like this, fresh from the
ranks of the Repshhean party, with his skirts
yet draggled, and his hair yet crisp and
kinky with its pollution, has the unblush
ing effrontery to accuse the I)emocrats of

quite active find lucrative dining the season.
Those engaged in catching and packing white
fish and lake trout have already commenced
operations. and their labors thus far have been
rewarded by profitable loads of the.finny beau
ties. The business has steadily increased front
year to year and if it continues to advance
proportionately in the future will Dome one
of the most iniportant branches of our local
trade. From all that we can learn ten times
as many boats and men might engage in the
business with prod*. The hOme demand is sti
most as great al the supply, and immense
quantities can be shipped to Advantage to dis
tant points. The fish are taken with gill-nets
in very deep water, from three to six miles off
this port, and the quantity appears to be in
exhaustible. As a delicacy they are not ex
celled by any other tieb In the world, and as
an article of food are very cheap and whole-

At present the market is well supplied with
fish taken from the harbor and neighboring
ponds. Fine pike, bass, muscular, Ike., are
