S. G.
We sincerely sympathize with the father
of these fair brides, in this Wholesale desc
lation of his hearth and home bv three
selfish young men, who ought to have been
at more honorable work than to form a
combination to rob an old and respect BILE
citizen of three of his brightest and most
precious jewels in one night. The demo-
ralization of the coantry and the unblush-
ing hardihood of young men, have reached
to an unprecedented extent, but we scarcely
expected to have to record such an occur
renee as the above in our vicinity.
Its something remarkable, that although
the effect OF the above * to lessen the
s'Counts, that they have doubled and the
future only can tell whether they will not
increase i'll aritlmetical progression under
their assumed names.
To all parties we wish future happiness
and prosperity.
