The Camden Journal says: On Tuesday
morning last, the store Of Messrs. Mcdonald
and McCurry was entered and robbed OF goods
to considerable amount. The entrance was
effected by cutting the bolts OF three doors
the counter. The hour at which the robbery
was committed (being about dayhght) renders
it one Of great boldness. A freedman who
lived near by, hearing noise, but supposing
it some one gathering wood, paid no attention
10 it at first, but afterwards got up, and upon
going out, saw ''two large black negroes"
each with bag, emerging from the store and
bag, and with the other made his escape
attempts to break into stores, have been ire
quent OF late, but 30 far as We learn, this
has been the only successful one. Messrs.
Med. and Moo, offer reward Of fifty dollars
for proof to convict the robbers.
