BURGLARIOUS

On Thursday night of last week, some
persons entered the store of Mr.. Ordway,
of North Hyde Park, and took goods to
the amount of $75 or 500. The goods
taken consisted mostly of prints and
cloths. the thieves doubtless thinking that
the prices of the articles would continue
to be so high as to make it hard for poor
people to get a supply. as
The ~rascals were traced to Waterbury,
and three persons were arrested on suspi-
cion, and a day was spent by Sheriff
Brown and Mr.. Ordway in searching in
the woods for the property but as nothing
was found, Of course the matter will be
dropped for the present. aa
1t would seem as though there was an
organized gang of these fellows somewhere
in this section, and circumstances have
led some to suppose that the headquarters
of the gang is in Montpelier and the
conviction has become SO strong that when
anything of the kind is done it is attrlb-
uted to the " Montpelier gang" ~
Mr.. Joy. of North Hyde Park recently
lost an English silver watch, for which
he paid $25. 1t was taken from q nail

the thief using a flower box to ele-
vatc himself high enough to enable him
to reach the watch without entering the
house. Mr.. Joy also not long since lost a
good buffalo robe, and a draft-chain.
These things must have been taken by
persons familiar with the premises as no
one who had not been in the house would
have known where to find the watch. 1t
is quite probable that some one living in
the vicinity is the guilty person.

kind of operations does not hesitate to try
his hand on a small scale. Perhaps he is
a new beginner, and so does not choose to

the vicinity of Enfield, N. H.. by a MUIR

member of the Society of Shakers, in that

A man named Thomas Wier, who two

youngest children, girls, in charge OF the
Society, under a written agreement mot
to modest or try to take them away, either
by persuasion, force, or in any other man

On Saturday Weir met Elder Dyer, and
after a few words, drew a pistol and shot
him through the body, Though tho
wound was considered by the surgeons
very dangerous. hopes were felt by them
that he would recover but we see that
he is reported dead. The murderer was
arrested. Elder Dyre was very extensive

one true and loyal man, is left to fight
for our God given rights. But how poor,
indeed, are any words of ours, to express
to you the deep and heartfelt gratitude
with which we greet you.
What language can portray to you the
mothers feelings, as she watches with ca
ger eyes, and distended nerves, the brave
youth, who dashes fearlessly or through
fire and smoke, reckless of his oacn life,
to secure her beloved child from the de-
vouring flames. What to her are lordly
titles, or crowned heads, or any of the
distinguished honors that men so crave?
What to her is all the pomp and show,
and glitter of this false world? That
noble deed, in Gods scales, out-weighs
them all, and the mai that accomplished
it. fills a place in the hearts of all behold
ers, that royalty itself might envy.
In these p%erilous times, when our be-
loved country is threatened, and the sa-
cred emblem of our nationality outraged,
to whom do the true and loyal women of
the north look for help and salvation !
Upon whose strong right arm, and trusty
steel do they depend and who in their
heart of hearts do they most honor?
You need not be told.
God bless our brave and heroic soldiers.
The fearless youth wEo takes his life in
his hand and goes forth, sustained alone
by his mothers prayers, and his own
dauntless courage. does more for his coun-
try and his God, than the most renowned
statesman of any age.
A little more than two years ago, you
all remember with what trembling and
half hopeful feelings we raised our first
unpretending flag. The future was then
all dark and uncertain Orr courage had
not then fully realized what it was to give
up our household treasures, to our coun-
call. Neither had you learned what
it was, to lay all upon the altar of your
country, and to risk all, all to the tickle
chances of a cruel war. All !! we miss
more than one brave lad as our eyes run
through your lines-boys that we fond
ly hoped to greet with you; but your grief
and ours, is too sacred to be dwelt on
here. They have received a far more JOY
full welcome than is for mortals to give,
the welcome of the brave and the true,
in the more blessed home above.
We thank God that he has raised up
Just such men as you for these troublous
times. Base men, and intriguing poll
ticians are conspiring to destroy our gov
ernmenr, and may the curse Of everlasting
rest upon them, while immortal
honor shall torever rest upon those who
have risked all, to rescue it from their
grasp. s.r

the whole of that section are very hostile
