ROBBERY IN MOUNT VERNON
Friday night last, as we are informed,
the Office of the Mount Vernon Bank
ing Company was entered by burg
lars, and the outer doors of the safe
blown open with powder. The inner
doors being composed of steel, defed
the operations of the burglars, and
they were perhaps frightened off be-
fore they effected an entrance to the
hidden treasure within. They found,
however, $3.50 in loose change, left out
of the safe, which they carried off
with them. They had stolen tools
from blacksmith shop in the town
with which to operate, which would
indicate that they were not profess
sional burglars, but only local thieves,
perhaps belonging to the town.

pay $32 900 in addition TO $62,sOO al
ready paid, until be was certain the
work thus paid for was actually done.
The ten dollar 'squires Gzzled oSt on
their charges, and they have since tried
to hatch something out Of Judge Leon
ards appointing good men to look after
the sick, destitute and dead in cholera
times. Judge Leonard was abused
soundly because when the cholera made
its appearance he did not impetuously
assume responsibilities He was de-
nouncsd as heartless, cruel and inhuman,
for not doing more he sent twenty-one
sick people to the persons whom now the
ten dollar 'squires affect to think should
have had the whole care Of the pestience
and its destitute victims. The sick were
sent hack to him, and left at his door
some Of them on the way back dying 81
exposure. Soon the pestilence stalked
abroad at MONDAY, and hundreds were
attacked. Judge Leonard having cared
for the twenty-one, pho mere refused,
had to assume the responsibility of caring
for every case Of distress and cholera.
He did not himself spend dollar Of the
money appropriated for such uses, but
he appointed persons of undoubted in
tegrity and humanity who did much to
relieve suffering and check the progress
of the disease. They established a
hospital; they aided the destitute they
gave medical relief to many sick, and
they buried many dead, while the Squires
now bowling about it were so fearful Of
cholera that they visited the city very
little. Hundreds of lives were saved
by the course of Judge Leonard, and
great deal of good dono--not one
county Squire then objected. New these
ten dollar fellows pretend to think that
such aid to sick and destitute during the
pestilence, and such burial Of the dead,
was overstepping the bounds of Judge
Leonards authority. They want the
public to suppose that Judge Leonard
should have given the spending of the
money to men who refused to take care
of the sick sent to them and never
gave bonds for the faithful performance
of their duties, and were probably
very much afraid to come where
cholera was. Don't this attack on Judge
Leonard turn out another pitiful abor-
ton 2 When it is coupled with the filch-
ing of ten dollars day by each Of the
bowling Squires, from the county treas
ury, and with that narrow mindedness
which, regardless of the credit of the
county and interests of creditors, rejects
every bill unless some country Squire or
country 'Squire's neighbor has an inte-
rest in it. /, for one, am very much
disposed to use cuss words against all
malignant idiots.
