FROM SOMCNAUA

LARCENY.-From L. Douiny, Esq, l q certain
the following facts: that some l2hs.fngered
scamp entered his house, in Serena week ago
and finding no enc at home, took gold pencil
worth about $40, and No. rifle, and then
made of towards Somonauk .
The thief WA followed {; and it was found that
JohS N. Goodell, proprietor of the hotel here, had
kept tho gun in lieu Of cash, for board, as the
Suspicious character seemed rather scarce OF
money.
From here 10 was tracked to Plano, whore no
was overhsuld and landed in the calaboose Of
that place.
On Monday Mr.. Don!uy and Joseph Pool went
over to Plano to give the gent free ride to OF.
AVA. They found him behind the CRATES, where
they loft him until they could get some dinner,
directing the constable in charge to hand cuff
sad otherwiso secure the prisoner. But that
worthy said he was quite safe and neglected the
preoaution. So, while Pool and Dominy we're
taking their repast, the fellow cut his way out
and escaped. Now . reward is offered for his
arrest and shipment TO Ottawa. Mr.. Dominy
got his gold pencil Of the constable, who had the
thief In charge. There is something rather black
about this affair, and somebody seems to DO &C.
cused BY everybody else as having aided in the
escape Of this villain.

Schools. The advantages possessed by
Alexandria for educational purposes arc unex-
ceiled by those Of aby other place in the State,
in fact in the country, and need only to be emu
merated in order to be recognized at once and
correctly appreciated by those who have ever
visited the city. In,the first place the christi
anty of lis people is one of its distinguishing
characteristics. Nearly all denominations OF
christians have their houses Of public worship,
the attendance at the services in which on the
recurring Sundays is plainly indicative OF the
religious feeling prevalent i'll the community.
The morality Of its citizens is above reproacb
and is attested by the papabIe TACT that the
vices, even those clasSed by some as amuse-
