Decj 17th. there died in the county jail at Lawrence, Mass., a very singu lar and renowned character, known as Carrol Sanborn, ' the gentleman burglar." Mr. Sanborn was of an excellent family, well ed-. ucated, and ! refined in manners and tastes, and married to a beautiful wife, whom he loved tenderly and! devotedly, i Toward bis tvro iiltla children he exercised all the care of a most affectionate parent, and appears to have Wen, in all matters of daily life that canie before-the worlds unusually free from blemish free from all bad habits, kind to ward his fellow-mao, and prominent in objects and general culture. If this were all, wo should not have had this article to write; but in addition to his many; virtues, our hero wapossessed jof an insatiaole, ine radiejible passion for midnight burglary a terrible kleptomania of that order so eloquent ly laid down bv Dr. Holmes in his "Profes sor Story.'

Before sentence coal.l be pro nounced, however, he went before tho bar of a Higher Court, breathing his last in the arms of his loving and agonized wife. ! The case is a very remarkable one, and al most without parallel as an example of pure kleptomania. It suggests, however, the many other incidents on record where men wi.o have lost all proper sense of the laws of meum and fewm, and taken to stealing as a means of livelihood, have done deeds of un usual benevolence outside of their profession, lse pure ' .
