SHOP LIFTING.-Officer ABEEL, served war;
rants on Wednesday evening upon Robt. Abb
by and his wife, at their residence just hey ond
the toll-gate, on the old Plymouth road, and
at the same time searched their premises for
stolen goods. A considerable quantity of
dress goods, d0mestics, shoes, DC, were found
and taken possession of. The parties were
brought TO the village and detained for exami-
nation this--Thursday morning-and the goods
were displayed at Bixby u Crosby's store for
Identification. At the time of this writing,
Moore & Brother had found several pieces OF
domcstics, among the lot which they were able
by the mark, some of which, not having been
removed - to claim. Others of our mcr.
chants were examining the goods, but were
not unable to identify them on account of the
removal of the marks. The strong suspicious
of Moore & Bro. that the old lady had helped
herself to both goods and money, at their cs-
tabshment led to the search and arrests.
The examination is to take place on Friday
morning before Esq, Fisher, and the parties
entered recognizance i'm $3.50 each

HARDoR hMPRovEMENTs.-We hear that the
unexpendsd appropriation for the improve
ment of the harbor amounts to something like
$4,000, and that this is being applied to
dredging and deepening the channel Work
was begun on Monday last in the preliminary
way of taking soundings and setting buoys, by
MIR. A. A. Dodge, of Oswego, New York, who
has taken the contract of giving the harbor a
uniform depth of twelve feet The contract
price per yard for the shale excavations, we
are told, is 81 40 The lowest bid that could
be obtained last year was 81 50-a very essen
tial saving. The proposed depth will make
our harbor very easy and safe one to enter,
and offer facilities for carrying on the large
amount of commercial trade of the place not
of late so fully enjoyed. We hope to be able
to visit the scene of operations before many
days. and that we may be prepared to speak
more fully Of the work thus taken hold of, and
which promises so much for the shipping
| interests.

A SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE is mentioned
by the Reporter OF a wel-to.do farmer in West
Springfield on Tuesday of last week, by the
name of HENRY DICKINSON, who was sub ect
to occasional fits of mental alienation. His
first effort to kill himself was with shaving
knife, but not succeeding to his mind in this
way, he tried that of knocking out his brains
by pounding his head with a mallet. His per-
sistence was effectua He died the next day.

The S1AMEsE TWINS N THE PRoposE1

THE SIAMEsE Twins AND THE PRoposED
SEpARATIoN.-An English paper says -
"The object which Chang and Eng. other.
wise known as the Siamcso twins, had in view
in visiting Edinburg, was to obtain the advice
Of Professor Syme as to tho advisability Of Sc
vering the inter.communicating band by
which they have been so long held together.
Last week Chang and Eng waited on Profes.
sor Symo at the University for this purpose.
After a careful examination. Professor Symc
was strongly Of the opinion that such an ope-
ration would prove highly dangerous to their
lives, and accordingly advised chat the opera
ton should not be performed. Sir James Y.
Simpson, Bart, also entertains the same view,
and the opinions of the two learned Profes-
sors may, we think, be taken as conclusive
on this hitherto debated point. 1t is intcn-
ded, however, to take the opinion of a Paris
professor on the subject; but doubtless the
opinions of the two professors will have con.
siderable weight with the twin brothers in
whatever course they may ultimately decide
to adopt"
