A FEMALE SHor<LIFTER AT WoRK.-Yester-
day morning, white woman Of respectable ap.
pearance, Sarah Daley BY name, entered the store
Of Messrs stone. il Marshall, No. l4s Meeting street.
and called for some calico She s;ood by the counter
for some time, apparently examining the cloth
while the clerk was attending to some customers
at the back part Of the store, and presently went
out OF the door. small colored girl, who was
selling peanuts in front Of the Store, seemed to
have been watching her, for soon after the woman
left the girl went in to the clerk and told him the
woman had been stealing clio h. The clerk went
to the counter, and Immediately missing the roll
of calico, hurried out in pursuit, but the woman
was not to be seen uo or down the street. BE
passed her by In his hurry, for she had merely
gone few Ste ps down the street and then turn.
ed aside in gateway to conceal her prize. This
dficulty, apparently unsurmountable, was silly
accomplished by one Of those maneuvres i'm
possible to thieves Of the male kind by reason OF
the nature Of their habilimente. A few mysteri.
bas Jerks and twitches and rustic as OF falling
leaves, and the woman made her appearance with
the te.tale calico securely hidden. The clerk tf
neighboring store haa observed the dodge, and
stopped the woman with h bundle. Her con.
fusion told ALL and the clerk escorted her back to
the store whence she had originally made her
EXIT with the calico. Here the loser examined
the bundle, and utte.lng an emphatic exclama.
tion at the nature OF the enveloptng garment,
shook out the stolen calico. The detected shop.
litter was turned over to policeman, and will
make her appearance this morning before the
Mayor. This attack Of k!eptomania seems the
first with which she has been AFFLICTED, and her
entreaties to be allowed to 60 were pitiaoe.
