SoME thieves effected an entrance last
light into the grocery establishment of Mr..
John Gerwiek, says the ZanesuiUe Courier,
on Main bewteen I'd and Sd streets, by
breaking ont one Of the large lights of glass
in the front door. About four dollars in
ccppers, and as much more in counterfeit
and mutilsted postal currency. was taken,
together. with oranges, candies and nuts.
Two of the glass candy jars, which had
been taken out of the store, were found in
the alley near the premises. No clue to
the perpetrators.
On Saturday night, during the heavy
rain, burglars attempted to enter, at two
SUCCESSIVE windows, the house of Mrs.
Wheeler, on West Columbia street, and
finally succeeded at the third window tried,
and went all through the lower part of the
house, and one room up stairs, taking the
pocket-book of Mr.. Bookwalter, who was a
lodger. 1t contained SIS in money and
some bank checks, which the robbers threw
out upon the floor. 1t is a singular fact
that his watch was not taken. So says the
Zanesutue Courier.
ONE of those freaks Of nature that some
times puzzle and astonish mankind, may be
seen on the premises of Mr.. William Ford
ney, on Mulberry street, opposite the Wes-
leyan church, in this city, says the Mt.
Vernon Banner. A large and perfectly
formed white rose may there be seen grow
. ing upon the limb of an apple tree, with
out any human agency being employed to
place it there. The rose Is about the size
and shape of the "Queen of the Prairie'
variety, and imparts a very pleasant fra
GRANGE. On the same stem is q smaller
rose, also white, about the size of those
that grow upon the sweet briar.
AN attempt was made, on last Sunday
night, says the Ne,oark Advocate, to enter
the store of Thomas Horton, Esq, of Fre-
donia. The thiefwas discovered abont one
o'clock Monday morning BY a couple ofboys
returning from asparking expedition. He
was progressing in his work deliberately,
and when discovered was cutting out a
pans Of glass above thestore door. On being
detected, he speedily decamped, leaving a
satchel, an augur, chisel, etc., and copy
of the Adoocote addressed to Mr.. S. H. ABB
bott, who resides insNewton township,
about four miles southeast from Fredonia.
ON the same evening, thief had entered
the house of Mr.. Abbott, and having a
weakness tor good things, helped himself
bountifully to Mrs. Abbott's cakes, pies,
ETC.. carrying away also . lot Of dishes. He
was undoubtedly the same patriot who
made the midnight visit to Fredonia, and
being thoroughly 10y yal, eonfiseated the Ad;,
vocatea as . treasonabie document. -
