A number Of petty thefts occurred in this
nee last week. They were mostly re-
arkable for their boldness, being commit
y in broad daylight. Mrs. Geo. Miner
Ia made lot of doughnuts and some
,xher things one day, and on returning
S<,,m an absence Of about half an hour,
key we're all stolen. Two vases were
Solen from Capt. Taylor's house, and at
Bio Billings they stole two pots of flower
ants. : The house of w. w. Pull
bier at Rockingham, was struck by light
In during the shower on Tuesday, but

kst week, and several kinds Of provisions
bolen. j. A. Farnsworlh Of the same
Face congratulated himself during the day
bat he had lost nothing by these night
and was lucky, as that night
bad been the only one for long time in
kbich robbers could have entered his cellar
they had chosen. On going home, in
be afternoon, however, he found he had re-
eived call, and that his cellar was strewed
fifth matches, and the thieves had helped
hemselves bountifully TO apples, pies,
BIKES, couple of bottles of currant wine,
hothing stronger that we have heard of J
bd such other nice things as one might ex-
ect to find in the cellar of so good a citi-
en as neighbor Farnsworth. The joke
las continued still farther by finding a
ench they had stolen from him under a
6indow of Mr.. Wizards, Where the rob
(ers entered his premises. Tie wags will
lave it that this last is a suspicious circum-
lance, and enjoy good laugh at their
leighboi's expense, who no longer claims
by exemption from these night pests. :

lutte an institution among US, as was proved
ny the disappointment among the crowd ai-
er it at the depot on Monday morning
