Cincinnati burglars are improv¬ ing in the methods usually adopted by midnight thieves. They are quite artistic. A few nights ago a tine residence was burglarized and next day each of the occupants found a scar on that arm which was on the outside of the bed. The scar resembled the scratch of a pin and the opinion is that some drug was injected to deepen sleep. That jdca js strengthened by the fact that next morning the occupapts of the house felt a very peculiar and unusual drowsiness.

A Close Call. Carteravilie Courapt, During the severe thunder storm of Friday night the people in the neighborhood of Martin Walker’s, on West JIaip street, were awaken¬ ed from their slumber by a terrible clash of lightning. The people in thp neighborhood were satisfied that the liglitujiig had done some of its fearful work near by, but it was too dark uud stormy to venture out on a tour of inspection. In the household of Mr. Walker there was a scene of groat activity. Here is where the lightning struck ffpij where it came near hurling a whole family into eternity. Mr. Walker with his little grandson occupied had a front room, a window of which been left open to let in cool air. It struck a wardrobe in the room and set some clothing on fire, which came near resulting in a conflagra¬ tion. The lightning played around tlie room promiscuously, but luckily the occupants escaped without be¬ ing harmed, save a good shaking up. A igqip pn a centre table was melt¬ ed, also some screws in the table. A little son of Mr. Walker was sleep¬ ing in an adjourning room, and ids head was only four feet from where the lightning struck. Wise Words. He hath no leisure who useth it not. Love for dead should not cramp our duty to the living, A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill requires only our silence. The tongue slow and the eyes q»iok. Keep your month shut, ami your eyes open. To be always thinking evil even with the intention of guarding agaiust it, is to invite it. Never despond; never say “itstoo late.” Fear not,even if you relapse again and again. Health is the Second binning that we mortals are capable of, a nleas¬ ing that money cannot buy.

Dear Enterpb/«Ej— J beg a short space in your paper for the tliffesiot) of a few facts which I think will be very yejavant to exhibit the erroneous and implacable comcep- jion enunciated by a voice from Macon county, in regard to the effl- cieney qualification and honestty of our county officers, First it Je presumptuous dislaln- ful and ignominious in any one that would ever conjecture much less endeavor to vituperate, calumniate and annoy the wisdom and tfan- quility of our prosperous old county where a judicatory vibrates and Vacillate in the scale of honesty and justice, economically administering to the need and wants of every in¬ dividual. And to assault and dog¬ matize slanderous and vociferous reports circumiocutipg ugaipst the sagacity and prudence of the patri¬ otic statesman who have served their constituents with pltmi potency and untaunted fidelity, would cer¬ tainly place him beneath the digni¬ ty and commiserat i on ol nteligent The time has never been and God grant it will ever be, that the people are so negligent their duties as to heed the clamorous appeals of men to fiU tfie various and important offices of the county that would an¬ nihilate the democracy of the citi* zens, as the voice would have you to believe doesn’t the latest statis¬ tics how conclusively that the finances of the county are judicious¬ ly economically and indiscriminate¬ ly managed to account for this is that due discretion were used in selecting officers as will always be. Then hypothesis is certainly groundless and he should give a pieasent savoriness to the effluvium emanted from him and so reluct¬ antly received by the readers of the Enterprise. And as he claims it as the voice of the people why doesn’t he let them know it by pub¬ lishing it in the county Gazette as perhaps more of the voters would see it. Citizen. \<> Time to Keud. Exchange. The woman who “has nu time to read” generally has no inclination to do so. The tiue book lover will make time. I once knew one of these women who never took a book in her hands because they were too busy. She spent days in ruffling, tucking and embroidery, but no spare time in which to inform self of the most ordinary topics of the day. 1 doubt if she knew how some of the most common words vveie spelled, judging from her pro¬ nunciation of them. she In speaking invariably of her lace curtains called them “cartings;” and once we asked he if she intended to re¬ main in the city through the sum¬ mer, and she replied, mountings “Cert|ngjy not, we shall go the in August.” She has very fine taste in the matter of dress ami was call¬ ed “very stylish;” but if she had spent part of the time in reading and study which she devoted to dress, what a different influence she might have exerted over her children as well as upon the the so¬ ciety in which she moved. But the mistaken woman thought it of more importance to adorn the per¬ son than to improve the mind. Cul¬ tivate habits of reading if you have it not. We ail need a little mental food daily. We need it as we need air, sunshine, sleep and food. How re¬ freshing to be able to lose ourselves even for a short time, in the pages before us. Let a volume lie beside your work-basket, and if you have any minutes to spare improve them by a peep at its contents. ♦ •• HER SWEET OLD THING, When Grover came home t’other day From off’ his fishing trip.
