From the Sharon HeraM,o of last
week, We learn that a dastardly, out
rage was committed on the property
of Rev. A. N. Craft, late of West
Pennington, in this county, but now
pastor of the M. E. Church, of james
town, Pa. The outrage was prepetrat-
ed on the night of July 80. The
house of Mr. Craft was unoccupied
thatcvening, Mrs. Craft being on a visit
to, friends, and Mr.. Craft having gone
to Buffalo. Some villains taking
advantage of their absence, entered the
house and destroyed all the furniture,
breaking it in pieces, and tore up and
carried away all the clothing that they
could lay hands on, not sparing Mrs.
Crafts in the least. MIR. Craft had
but recently moved to jamestown,
and it is hard to account for this ma.
liciousness, unless by pleading the ma
tural fi~cndishness of the villains who
engaged in it.
