min Carleton, on Canal street, two doors
south Of Rock River, was entered by burg
lars on Sunday evening Last. The thieves
went all over the house, searched every.
where, emptied all the pockets they could
ind, and escaped with their booty-s watch
valued at $50, dollar in nickel, and about
two dollars in silver change. They are still
at large.
Previous to their entering Mr.. Carleton
house, one Of them attempted to enter Mr.
