Warehouse RoJ5ed.-The warehouse
Of i o. Grimes, Esq, at the depot, in
this city, was entered on Friday night
last, but the thief was not paid for his
trouble. An effort was made at two
different places to force an entrance by
boring through the shutters, and finding
that it would take too much time we
suppose, they then proceeded to the
rear Of the building, aud succeeded in
forcing a shutter. Their object was
money, as Mr. Grimes did not miss any
of his stock. For their trouble thew
got between four and FIVE dollars in
small change.
