\ .
On B'aturday a most astounding and
cool robbery took pace in :our: village
which will be a warningstettreople againist
leaving their doors subject - to - intrusion,
and valuables subject to \ theft. Some
where between the hours 6(9 and 11 in
the forenoon s , the house of Mis s E. C.' Wll-
liatns, - on Canton street, was entered and
two handsome \ gold watches arid chains
taken, the one the property of Mrs. Wil
liams, the other the handsome goldwatch
belonging to Mrs. Jennie Innes, presented
to her by Adam lanes on the occasion of
her marriage a mouth age ' but. which - She
had not removed from the ."house. It lek
supposed that a couple of strange 'looking
fellows who took the.train, south, having
purchased tickets to Sun bury, - were the
thieves. It was the custom at the house
todreep the front door locked, but that
trnirning it was unlocked for a time while
the 4eople were in the back . room .at
\Willie; and it is' supposed,some one must
haVeentered the' roonriand taken the
' **hes, - making . their •exit before they
Were discovered. When' Mrs. Williams
dirtiiii)cd the room she • noticed that the

the loss that the friends of the deceased

Heavenly Father, who, doeth all things
well.
• Second—That we extend oar earnest
