Ne RoBBERiEs.-Several robberit

d. RoBgERlEs.-Several robberies
were committed in our town during the
pas. week. On Monday night some per-
sons entered The store OF D. E. keedy, by
the rear window and carried off a small
lot Of whisky, and on the same night
Mrs. Catherine Bowers smokehouse was
entered and all her bacon stolen. On
Wednesday night Mr.. c. +. Licklider's
smoa ehouse was broken into and several
pieces of bacon and beef taken. 1t is sup
posed tina, the thieves were after the "sup-
plies" that had been prepared for the
Camp Meeting that commenced on Thurs.
day, near Hainesville, but they missed
their mark. On the same night, Mr..
Henry CameIon's house was entered by
negro and Mr.. Cameron hearing noise
in the house got up and al his chamber
door met the rogue, who Immediately re-
treated, falling down the Stairs, Mr.. c.
following him, and running into the d.
ming room, threw open the blinds, and
jumped out of The front window, which
was hoised and The blinds closed, and SO
he made his exit Mr.. C.. seized him by
the legs and held on as long as his strength
lasted, calling for help. He did not re-
cognize the negro. but supposes that he
was alter the keys Of Mr.. David Bill
myers store, in which he is a clerk.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. G. was not
able TO hold on until help came, and then
by capturing this rogue get some clue 10
an organized band Of robbers tina, is pre-
sumed 10 exist in this vicinity. We
would caution our citizens to be on the
aler, and no, TO leave their premises un-
occupied al nigh. or any length Of time
during the day. A few shots well aimed
from guns or pistols would have pow
e-(ul and correcting influence on the tress-
psssers aud prove wholesome remedy.
Let all keep their arms in ,rim and pow
der dry. These are the best guards and
detectives. Fix secret guns to your meat
houses and other places likely to be broken
into and they will protect you properly in
your absence.

TO THE UNITED STATES.

BRITISH COLUMBIa--A.PRAYER FOR ANNEXATION
TO THE UNITED STATES.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Nov. 16.-Vincent Colyer,
who arrived here from Alaska and British Columbia
this morning, carries with him petition signedb by
10 prominent citizens of Victoria addressed to pres-
dent Grant, praying for the annexation Of British
Columbia to the United States. Another petition of
similar import will be forwarded to the Queen. The
document is strongly worded and sets forth with
great force the insulated helpless condition Of the
colony, and the imperative necessity of forming
political alliance with the United States Mr. Colyer
represents that the feeling in favor Of annexation
received new impulse from the recent note of Earl
Granville urging the British COlumbians to affiliate
with the Canadian dominion, they regarding il lit
tie lees than insulting it would increase their bur
dens without aiOrding either political protection or
material relief.
