Some scsundrels procured ladder on Sun
day night last and effected an entrance through
the window to the second story VI Mr.. John
W. Atkins storehouse, with the intention,it
is supposed to steal. A young gentleman OF
our town happening to pass the place dur'ng
the ''small hours" OF the night, saw and res
moved the ladder, leaving the thieves in the
building; very thoughtlessly hcwever lie fail
ed to give any alarm OF their nefarious pro-
ceedines. Ia the morning 1t was discovered
that they descended to the grocery room and
escaped to the street, being unable TO effect
an entrance to the stere, proper, on the hrst
door. From fear or ms bthsr cause II seems
they took nothing, as no goods have as yet
been missed by Mr.. A. II Is to be regretted
that the young man fails to arouse some
persons, as the ihieving scoundrels might
have been caught before being able to es-
Ecape.
1t Is understood, that il the weather should
prove favorable, the Sabbath schools OF our
Town will make their annual May Day ex-'
cursion to the "High HILL" on "Wednesday,
