through the partition between the Banking House
and the Notion store of Mr.. Fl. O. Hartley, and
robbed that gentleman of about $3.50 worth
of fancy goods, boots, clothes, &C., going out by
the back way through Newton's lane.

and on hailing them they iran towards Union
street up Peppers lane, and he lost sight of them

street and Newton's lane, near where the stolen

in our city, and he was released this morning
The goods were taken to the watch house, and

often expressed strong desire to 90 TO heav-

his desire for heaven had no higher object
than this. Some time afterwards. he became
