On the night of the 5th inst the house of
Seth B. Hunt, at Bennington, VI, was en-
tered and robbed of diamond bracelets,
brooches, gold chains, rings, aud other arti-
cles of jewelry, to the value of $4,000. Mr..
Hunt offers reward of $1,000 for the recov-
cry of the property and conviction of the
thieves, or $500 for either. This is one Of
the most daring and successful burgaries. of
the season. No doubt the thieves had laid"
for the work in hand, and when they got
ready to perform their operation, did it
quietly and successfully. No clue has yet
been obtained to the burglars.

The American ha. been published con-

and upon new volume, with increased
confidence in succeeding to mako news.
paper publishing here, like all other em,
ployments, a paying business.
Every preceding paper published in
the County failed to pay expenses, and
therefore failed to be published. Our
own experience for the first two years and
a half, shew balance Oh the wrong side
of the ledger of five hundred dollars
At this time, with labor higher, and pa
per doubled in price, we can keep on our
way, and pay running expenses, &c, if
subscribers will only pay up. This, we
shall insist on having done, or We
must stop sending the paper. 1t docs not
pay to 60 on collecting tour yearly, and
it is not agreeable to dun those owing
We shall therefore, strike off large lot
of delinquent names, unless they pay up
within three weeks, and pass their bills
over to lawyer. Those owing for a
long time cannot justly object to this.
We shall make the american as good
a local paper as our patrons and friends
will permit. We arc in their hands in
this matter, entirely. We are dependent
on them for an early and accurate accoun,
of current events in the different sections
of the County. Will our friends bear
this in mind. and send US any and all in
teresting events TRANSPORTING in their neigh
borhoods. All communications, except
" machine poetry" will be welcomed
The American will be, as heretofore
an earnest defender of the Union Of tn,
States, and an advocate of all measure
calculated to put down this wicked REBEL
ion. We believe in one Union; an,
also in the American Gov eminent vindi
eating its authority and proving its intcg

We owe our readers some apology 70
ncglecting our duties in connection with

by laboring more earnestly in the futrre
TO make good local paper.
