"A few nights ago, Rev. Geo. Carpen-
ter, pastor of the Presbyterian Church Of
this place, was robbed of gold watch,
worth about $50, and small amount Of
money, by some thief, who entered his
dwelling while the family were asleep.
On Friday evening last, at the meeting Of
the Social Circle of his church, he was
presented by Mr., j. P. Robinson, on behalf
of tie members of his congregation, with
an elegant new gold watch and chain,
worth Sis, to fill the place of the stolen
one. We think Mr., Carpenter will agree
with us that "msfortunes are sometimes
blessings in disguise"
pgA-Col, Yeoman has commenced the
erection of am addition to the rear of the
building in which his store room is located,
for the purpose of extending his room
back within few feet of the alley. The
addition will be the same width as the
front room, and when completed, the VIII ole
will be thrown into one large store room,
l55 feet in length by 25 feet in width
the largest dry goods room in Washington,
and as large, il not larger, than can be
found in any of our neighboring towns,
and even this will hardly accommodate
tbeGelonel's immense trade.

The residence Of VIM. Robinson was
entered last Friday night by sonle thieve
ishly disposed person or persons, who
rummaged the drawers of bureau in one
of the bed rooms without finding anything
they wanted, and left--probably being
frightened off without any plunder. In
one of the drawers of the bureau which
they did not open on account of its being
locked, was a gold watch worth 1925.
"A list of appointments for Republican

several times during a week or two past,
Mr., McElwain trades it to jackson Yeo-

Y conan, and the Col. sold it to Mr.. Will
