In JAIL AGAIN.-Geo. Brace having served out
the trifing sentence for stealing a soldiers
watch was released and Immediately got in
trouble again. He and miserable creature by
name of Alice Peirce persuaded farmer who
was going to Hampton, to take them into his
wagon for ride. At one of the beer houses on
the Moline road they stopped for beer, and the
farmer paid for it. He had one ten and four
two dollar bills, which the saloon keeper saw
him place in his wallet and put it in his pocket.
On arriving at Hampton Brace picked up his
wallet, from the wagon bed, but there was no
money in it. Brace is confined on the charge OF
having robbed the farmer, If George is deter
mened to lead an honest and respectable life he
had better keep clear of all such creatures as
Alice Peirce.

STORE RoBBED.-We hear that the store Of
Mr. Bell, in Berlin, Mercer county, was rob-
bed on Friday night, of goods to the value of
about $500. 1t IS believed that the robbers
had team, sscreted, at some distance from
the store. and that they carried the goods by
hand, acroes a field to their team. Some of
the goods taken were quite heavy, among
which we're three boxes of tobacco. Two
strangers, one large, heavy man, with very
large feet, and the other asmall one with quite
small feet, had been stopping at the tavern in
Berlin for two days, with no apparent busi-
mess, and left on Friday. They had been
about this store several times, and from the
fact that .he tracks across the field answered
ito their feet, it is believed that they were the
robbers.
