exceeding four hundred dollars.
Although it il, Of course, impossible to
tr,t. their course with perfect accuracy
II IL hrlipved. from oiroum instances, that
t}.cy frat visited the house of f. +. Sad
5Irr. AT No q. Grove street. Here they
fir. attempted to force an entrance
,lrnp,h the front windows OF the house,
they being easy of access from the piazza
which extends the whole length Of the
boilding, the blinds showing evident
marks az the effort made to force them
onar Beiro bnfled in this, they went to
the south side Of the house, and upon
o.cending the back stoop, they found the
u,,,cb string out" and the bliefs to the
a,io,-room window prepared IA If tor
I.i,.vrress accommodation. IL sppesrs
that Mr4. Saddler had been accustomed 10
hawai- plnpt stand placed near this win
dow. and for convenience in opening the
blinds from the outside, had Sttlched
string TO the fastening, 30 that ny Foll'ne

which were car. led TO the dining-room
aud there rifod Oh Weir contents, which,
fortun,t,ly. WAS only few cents over
seventeen dollars and half. Having
secured this amount, they left in the same
w,y that they CAM. The time of this
robbery WAS hetw es,f half-past two and
b.f-past three o clock in the morning
Mr. md Mrs. S. were intending 10 20 to
Bennington in the morning 10 attend the
celebration, and Mrs. S. had arisen at half
past two and lighted n lamp, in order to
a.certain the time, and then retired again,
leaving the lamp burning, at which time
everything was az left before. Upon
awakiug again, she found the lamp ex-
tinguished, and on relightin9 it, the
clothes were missed this was at half-past
three; the pants were found in the dining
Room, and the money being missed, search
was ut once made for the burglars-but
without success.
They next visited the residence of W.
S. Guiford, No. SO. of the same street.
Here their manner OF entrance is not GER
taluly known, as the windows and blinds,
IL the morning, presented the same APP
pearance as when the house was closed,
but it il probable that screen was re-
moved from one of the kitchen windows
and replaced when they left the house.
After having gained access to the house,
they proceeded to the bed room of Mr..
Guilford, from which they took watch
and chain belonging to Mr.. g., valued at
twenty-five dollars, and all of his clothes,
which he had removed upon retiring for
the night. From the vest pocket they
secured some three or four dollars, and
taking with them the coat, which was OF
blue cloth and valued at twenty five dol
lars, they left the remainder of the clothes
on the steps at the front door, where they
were found in the morning. Fortunately,
they overlooked valuable gold watch
aud chain, belonging to Mrs. Guilford,
which was in the same room. From this
room they passed up stairs to room oc-
cupied by DIR. Charles f. Adams, whose
gold watch and chain, valued at two hun
dred dollars, was quickly "reduced to
Possession" and they made their escape
with their booty. -'
Although during the early part of the
night the Doctor had found considerable
fault with the excessive heat, on account
OF his inability to sleep, yet in the NOR
ming he was, or at least ought to have |
been, devoutly thankful to the same heat
Tor preventing his money joining COM
pany with his watch. 1t happened in this
