vanderbrook's store, No. 10 Old slip, was entered
on Tuesday night last, the desk broken open and
papers overhauled, but fortunately there was no

some time, entering stores and committing robberes.
On the night they broke open No. 10 they also enter

nrATB-oF BENJAMIN SWAN, ESQ.

We perform melancholy duty, in announcing
the dscease of Benjamin Saoan, Esq VINO died al
his residence in this town on Inurspay tue iltn
inst at the age of seventy six years IL is needless
a., s.v that he was universally respected and below.
sd Mo man was ever moro highly esteemed by
The neople of this state, and no man was more de
Saving none more faithful, none more honest.
For nearIy half century, Mr. Swan has been
nyominent man in the community. IL is nearly
hv wears since he came to this town and establish
ed himself as merchant, having been bred to the
business in of the first houses in Massachusetts
His thorough mercantile education and his correct
views of commercial and fiancal matters were oil
great assistance to him in the various public avoca.
lions to which he was called, and rendered him
valuable as an accurate and ready man, in all bust
ness transactions. In public and private life his
urbanity OF manners, conciliatory department and
undoubted lnterity, secured the respect and conf
dence Of the whole community. With the eleva-
ton OF character which he possessed and the defer.
ence universally paid to him, he man OF
great modesty q humility. His christian character
was as we'll distinguished by meekness, as by his
numerous acts of benevolence. He lived and died
without an enemy,-at peace with all mankind and
enjoying the hope of happy Immortality.
Mr. Swan has sustained a variety of offices and
public trusts. de was the first postmaster appoint.
ed in this town, and signed the Office when 9th
er cares engaged his attention. In the year 1876,
on the resignation by Gen Morris of the office of
the county clerk, Mr. Swan was appointed 10 that
place and from that time to his death, period of
forty three years, has held the office of clerk of
the supreme and county court. In the year $500,
he was appointed by the Legislature, treasurer of
the stale, and henceforward for thir,ytwo success.
sive years elected to that office by the freemen
of this state, and generally without oppostion.-
He has, with great credit and perfect fidelity, exc
cuted many other responsible offices. 1t is impos-
sible in the short space allotted newspaper ar
tcle to do justice to the memory of such u man,
but 1t will live and flourish, long the present
generation of men shall remain; and their children
will, in after years. call up the warm recollection,
which their fathers entertained Of the virtue and
integrity, the exemplary life and christian charac-
