It IS in the recollection of onr readers, that about two
years a. nee, a lonely cottage, near P,aliitk, inhabited by sn
old man and his sister, named Tytrs, was broken into in the
night, anti after a spirited resistance by the poor old mast
with a fork, he was overpowered and wounded, an I the
cottage rifled, of a considerable sum of money, and every
thing- else rain thle.—The next day the sister, in despair.
'frowned hers-It in a pond, and tie bripless old man, thus -
bereft of every thing, had a liberal suhst.ription raised for
his sappoe. Er. ry exertion teas invite at the time* by
magistrates and gentlemen of tie neighboorlioal, to dis 6.
err the villains who committed the burglary, lint withirat
success. Time however, is a tell.talr, and often brings s
guilt to light when least expected. Throe men are now
