followed by load hurrahs from the rabble. The village of
Cattalos, is Cumberland, was the scene of one of those
tensultueos gatherings on Tuesday night last. Suspicion
had arisen that an improper intimacy existed between •
poor girl nagged Moffat, the daughter of • miller, and •

and amid ghosts, yell., hurrahs, and filthy ejaculations
of the weird, the girl's name and that of her 'imposed
paramour were everywhere proclaimed ; their effigies wore
afterwards publicly burnt. Tee girl's father, after the tumult
had subsided, got oat of bed, and went to the bark door,
which he found open. His daughter came is shortly after-
wards, sad is an agony of distress, exclaimed, " Oh, father,
I have come to see you once sgsis." She remained at home
duriog the week; she seldom spoke; but her wild looks
alarmed her friends. Oo Saturday she remained chiefly in
her own room, but went out after dark. She meta wows,

to sans. them from the view of any one who might look
in at the Iron gates at either end. The doors (a pair of
them) are lined inside with iron. The thieves seem to have
found this to present an obstacle to the drilling of 1
hoist, which have bees made through the wood to the iron.

where the two doors *aim, and by this means the look so
strained as to detach the bolt. Ones within, all else was
clear. In the upper story there is a large quantity of goods,
bat they only selected a Colt's revolver. From a cupboard
over the safe, in the shop, the following articles were stolen :
