our community must feel stunned by such an exhibi

On Frida v night, the dry goods store of

ingres* at a window by means of a chisel.
TbeUii&ves picked out some pieces of silk
and cloth, and then went into Mr. Starr's
house, where they appropriated some knives
and forks and silver spoons. They theu
proceeded to the sleeping apartment of Mr
S., took his pantaloons from where they
were hanging on the lied post, carried them
out imo the hall, and abstracted about $11"
or d", and some papers which were in his
memorandum book at the time. Ihe whole
loss, a* nearly as can be ascertained, will
reach about $250 or s.‘loo. A bag full of
coppers and tome smooth silver coins, kept
in the room, was also taken. The polie*>
received information of the robbery on Sat
urday morning, hut os it was not thought
probable the booty would be brought U) this

be captured by our officers.

Accidents*.—Oa Thursday evening a lad
named Samuel Aonis, aged about fourteen
years, was dangerously injured by falling into
the pump pit at the upper water works. He
fell in head foremost, the doptb being about
twenty-seven feet. The principal injury was
to the spine, although the scalp was stripped
off so as to lay bare a portion of the skull. It
Is thought he will recover.
A man named Smith,, employed at Bidwell s
plow factory, met with a vory serious accident
on Thursday afternoon. It appears that ho
was engaged at a grind Btone, which waa turn
ed with great velocity by steam power, when
it unexpectedly broke. Some of the pieces,
being hurled with great force, struck the un
fortunate man, injuring him severely—per
haps fatally. He resides on Mattock’s alley,
and is a man of family.
