- BURGLARs ANprrLoNs. The Ran
dolph Heraid says:-
On Monday night about o'clock, one
or more persons attempted TO enter the
dwelling house of Isaac c. Thaycr in West
Randolph, by climbing in at the bedroom
window, 1t being the only entrance that
was not fastened. While raising the win
dow, the inmates were awakened who call
ed for their dog, and the burglar lcn.-
There was a bright moon and the man was
plainly seen. The same night, the dwell
ing of an Irish family named Sullivan, was
entered at the buttery window, and all the
cooked provisions to be found was carried
away. These circumstances indicate that
the depredator must have been a stranger
to the place.
The next night, May 9th, some burglars
entered the dwelling house of l.. II. Edison
in Bethel, by climbing in at the buttery
window. They then made their way to his
sleeping room and took his pantaloons into
the kitchen, where they relieved them of
S3S in bills and about 800 in change.
They also entered the house of Joseph
Morris the same night, by climbing through
the buttery window, went into his bedroom
took his pants and other clothing into the
kitchen, when they examined them, and
stole a small amount of change-very care
fully overlooking about $4,000 in bills that
were in a memorandum book without dis
covery. In both instances, they helped
themselves to large supply of buttery
fxIngs, and escaped without being heard.
Vigiant search is being made, but no trace
ofthem has yet been obtained that we are
authorized to publish.
p. s. Thursday night they were at
White River Village, entered several
houses and stole money.
-SuDDES DEATH. The wife of
Luther Adams, Esq, of Chester, died very
suddenly on Thursday evening of last
week. She retired in usual good health
about o'clock, leaving her husband, who
had just returned home, reading the papers.
Soon after she retired she called to her
husband, and said she felt choking sensa-
ton. He assisted her up, and becoming
alarmed at her appearance, went for a
physician who lived near by; he returned
in few moments, but on his return found
her breathing her last. 1t is supposed she
died Of heart disease. She was about
thirty years Of age, and leaves FIVE chill.

other COW on Onion River, in the track o
the rabid dog which recently made sucl
havoc there, run mad. She was a milcl
COW, and the family had been using tn,
milk every day, which causes them som,
uneasiDess for the consequences, but W,
think the disease is not communicable /,
that way. Some six or eight cattle, which
had been bit by that dog, have already rul
mad, and been killed.-Green .Mounfai,
