DAR,ne ROBBERY ON MARKET SQUABE.-~The
store Of Mr.. F. seelig, No. 80 Market square,
was entered and robbed on Sunday night, be-
tween the hours of eight and ten. 1tappears
that one of the clerks sleeps in the house, and
on entering the store, about ten o'clock Sum
day night, was astonished to find things in q
safe Of general confusion. Carpet bags were
allied, some with clothing, some with jewelry,
some with fancy goods and others with caps,
shoes, boots, etc. While the young gehtle-
man was engaged Ia surveying this prspara-
ton for a wholesale shipment, he heard some
one jump from the second story window to
the pavement and run off. On Monday
morning an examination proved that one of
the fastsnings to one of the shutters Of the
front window had been removed, and large
pane Of glass broken out, Through this
window, the few goods carried off, were
handed to accomplices; but there is little rea.
son to suppose that the entrance was effected
through it, bat rather an inclination to- the
hypothesis that the principal actor had man
aged to hide himself 10 the Store before twas
closed, Fit will be borne in mind that Mr.. See
Zig 10 an Israelite, and keeps open onsunday
and after the proprietor had retired, COM
msncsd to pack up and then to hand the ar
ticles through the broken window. The
timely arrival Of the clerk put an end tolthe
Enterprise, however, and perhaps saved Mr..
seelig several thousand dollars. Several dol.
lars were taken fiom the money drawer, and
lot Of clothing, an old silver watch, and
aeveral other articles are missing; in the ag-
gregats, amounting to only one or two hum
dred dollars. ,s as
Here is another evidence OF the presence of
an organized band Of thieves In our midst ~
Whose store or dwelling is safe while these
follows are allowed to escape justice? Where
are the police, whether they be military or
civil, that they do not catch these bold dep O.
dators and burglarsi Mark the predictionl
before three months more pass, we will have
to chronicle several burglaries, unless the
band il discovered, the ringleaders arrested
or frightened away, and the balance forced,
either to leave town or take quarters in the
