dispelled by the cheering beams Of a
winter sun. But March, the month Of
seet, is still 10 come, and It may be that
we are being treated to the desert first.

Mr. Thompson, who jumped out of bed to see what
was going on. He was Immediately seized by one
of the scoundredS and told to keep qnet or have his
brains blown out. They then demanded his money
and he referred them to his pantaloons which
proved to contain bat half dollar. Mrs. Thomp-
was then told TO give up her jewelry, but upon
representing that what she had were mementocs
the generous scamps concluded not to take them
They were all masked, but told Thompson that he
wouldn't know them even without their dsguises
as they had all recently arrived from New York
After promising to tall again, they politely took
their leave. The house Of Mr.. Pndar, on E street
was entered on Monday night but nothing of value
taken. The burglar was seen by Mrs. F., VIII
screa med and aweke her husband, who was told by
the intruder that if he stirred he would be shot
The rascal left few minutes after, leaving his
shoes behind him.
