D.4IIING lit-RGLA BY.

A most daring burglary was rommitted on Thursday night
last, un the premises of Mts. Gould, at Pstrkleelturch,
Gloucester,hire, by a gang of four desperate villains, who
broke into the house iii the following incliner :—They first
attempted to pull down the frame of the back door; till y
then attacked another part of the house, by removing the
moues of an oven ; hut here being again disappointed, they
removed the tiles from the roof of the back kitchen, by
which means three of them entered (the fourth remniniug
outside), and proceeded to the parlour, where they rail-
sacked the drawers of a bureau ; but not finding much
booty there, they dim went lied-room, in winch
were Mrs. G. and her niece (a girl about nine years old);
here they immediately threw Mrs. G. on the bed, sod co-
vered her frith the clothes, and began rifling the drawers,
Ike. from which they took a few silver table-spoons and
some cash. The screams and alarm given by the child, by
spriuging a rattle and crying not murder, frum the window,
soon attracted the notice of some of the neighbours, and
on hearing sonic one approach the villains made a precipi-
tate retreat.

The fair of B:t116'14110e, which commenced on the
sth inst. wits not so good for Stock-breeders as ex-
pected. The demand fur sheep on the first day was
much brisker, and prices more satisfactory, than the
last two days. On nu average, we are informed,
there was a falling off of from 7s. to 0.. on sheep
from last year's prices. The show was very goal, but
the buying was rather limited.--(Taus Gazette.)
