GS"The report that Mr.. S. Longley had re-
covered the goods stolen from his premises
some few days since, turns out to be without
foundation. Mr.. L. informed us yesterday
that only one article had been found-a lady's
bracelet, with gold clasp. This article was picked
up by little boy, and not by the Police. The
clasp upon the belt has every appearance Of
being brass, but we are assured by Mr.. L. tha,
1t is of pure gold, worth twenty-five dollars
lie is of opinion that the thief threw it away
thinking it of no account.
