srREEr.-Two boys, Charles Lazar and
George Wellington, were earlyi yesterday
morning arrested for having robbed the
/ dry goods store of Mr.. Theodore Danziger,
163 Canal street. They had almost sue
ceeded in carrying off full $4,000 worth of
rich goods. It is not at all astonish.
ing that the store was robbed, for
the ease with which q burglary might
be effected was positively inviting to the
greenest of cracksmen. The young robbers
made an entrance into the store through
rear door by cutting out thin panel,
which was the work of not more than ten
minutes. Once in, they forced locks, and
every place that was likely to contain
money or valuables. Their principal tool
was an augur and jimmy. Although but
mere boys, they seem to know the differ
ence between common and fne laces, and
the better description Of articles. The
youngsters were taken TO the Second Dis
strict station, and also all the goods. The
boys have been living at very
fast rate lately, flush OF money, and
presents to friends. Since wellington and
Lazar were arrested two other lads, who
have been in company with them Of late,
were also taken in, and by judicious means
knowledge of other transactions has been
developed. The whole robbery will be in.
