BURGLARY-Dr o. F. Woods store
was entered by burglars on Saturday
night last. They rifed money drawer
of small amount of change, took few
other articles and decamped. They eff
fected entrance by breaking the sash of
a back window next to the tunnel up to
which they climbed with ladder. Two
boats were stolen on the river below the
canal locks the same night. Suspicion
rests upon parties seen about the village
the day and evening before who were
strangers and we're probably seen at
about o'clock Sunday morning, by
woman in Changers block who happened
to be up late that night, and who saw
two men making haste toward the river.

HURRAH FOR DUBUQUE We re-
corded last week the republican victory
in Dubuque an old democratic strong
hold. We have since received tn de-
tails in the Dubuque Times, in which we
not only find brilliant republican victo-
ry in that city, but also that our old
friend Frank NJ. Robinson, Esq, is
elected one of the Aldermen by 81
majority in the fourth ward. The vote
was Robinson, republican, 3S5, Pleins,
democratic, 304. We have not seen
Frank for many years, but in his youth
he was rather of Aldermanic proportions
and we doubt not more so now At all
events he will no doubt make good and
safe city father" for the good people
of Dubuque, and we extend to him and
the republicans of that city our cordial
congratulations on his election and their
handsome success.
