The (lore was robbed of a sum of money, which Mr. Deferred, the owner, fays, was about one thousand dollars. The inhabitants mus tered out in all direfiions—two came to me, and I got a number out from here, and sent to dop all the passes, to prevent, if possible, the escape ef the villain or villains. The store was set on fire, no doubt, to prevent discovery.
