NEW PLAN OF kOBBING.

We are informed, that A few DAYS since, a

HE trunk in the store during the night, repre-
senting that it contained dry-goods of value,
but that the Wagon which was 10 take it to
the Westward would not be ready to receive il
till the next day, when he would send for it,
The store keeper very readily consented and
the trunk was accordingly deposited i'll his
store.
During the night neighbour opposite Obser-
we'd light in the store which being unusu-
al thing, he communicated tue circumstance To
tue owner early in tile morning. Suspicious
being thus excited, officers were immediately
sent for, aud after strict search throughout
the store, no thief could be discovered: but Sc
veral articles of valuable merchandise were
missing. ST length, ii was deemed expedieDt
to examine the strangers trunk when, 10 the
gentleman was found, profoundly enveioped IN
the stolen goods lit is presumed, he had his
dccompccs out of doors, who were 10 have cal
led in the morning, and carried him and his
booty off in triumph.
- Since writing the above, we learn, that
men called ut the store next morning, with an
order for the trunk, and were Immediately ap.
pretended TGa-.
IS far as our information extends we believe,
but few specuations IN flour have been entered
into, III consequence of the adviceS received by
the Harlequin. The value OF this article has
TO be sure, advanced considerably; and this adj
vance has had the effect of suddenly throwing
into the market an immense quantity hereto
