 I Washington. e. Our depot master, s. D., PIatt, reports | a sale of fifty-fye tickets, last Thursday, for Hawleyville, 'oecasioned by the dis persal of Mir. Guns school. Atthe holidays the boys were run down on an excursion train, and in the course of the winterthes made up purse and purchased very fine clock and presented 1t to theS. V. R. R. O., for their use in our depot. We understand that one of Mir. c. s scholars, Chas. Tillinghurst, made g present of a set of communion service to the Episco- pal church. s.,'.+.s s'..'
 za---A son of Mfr. Samuel Bloss of Beth1e- hem, who has attended school here this winter, caused little fright to his friends last Tuesday, the day before the closing of school, He started from home, Mon day noon, the 18th ult., for school. He did not appear, and much wonder was ex- cited among his classmates and teachers, and by s. Morehouse with whom he board ed. The next week one of the scholars seeing Mir. Bloss in the eastern part of the town, asked why his son had not come back, this being the first intimation he had received but that his son was here as usual. A large party of men were rallied out and search instituted at once. No trace was found. An examination of his room showed that he had taken all his spare clothing of much consequence, and it was found he had sold pistol for money, and and also received some money from his father the morning he started. He was seen the same morning by citizen of Roxbury going south. The probability is that he has started off into the wide, wide world to challenge the luck which dane fortune may be willing to bestow. .'.=. -,=..
 We were misinformed in the the name of the man who takes Mrs. C.'s farm It is David N. Lyman. We hope the good citizen of Warren whom We unceremom- 'ously moved into our place On paper, will not feel badly about it, as Washington is conceded on all sides to be a first rate town to live in. 4-1y s.zsH .7
 Last Thursday evening the echoes of the silly night were awakened by the bag-pips note of sundry wild geese north ward bound, probably for the Adiron- dacks. Whether the noise of the boys go-. ing south sent them north, is Q question. for opinion. Robiusy blne-birds, saad phe-t bes, have come with their mouths full of song, and all are glad that the long. cold reign of March Is ended, though tie mud Ina fatha,,.1 1a4a= end =anromiscuous w.

 Early Tuesday morning, the 26th- ult., the store of B. s. Preston, occupied by Preston & Gillette, was entered from the back door by the help of an inch augur. In this back room there was plenty of flour, potash and crockery which were not dis turbed. Thetmef had to open another door before themoney drawer could be reached, and still another to get the contents of the safe. The first door was fastened at top, middle, and bottom, on the inside. The villain commenced boring to enable him to reach the bolts, when the noise he made walked one of the firm sleeping in the loft above, who, being to fierce tooas certain ''what was up, "caused the thief to suspend operations and to place his limbs astride valuable horse which he had pre- viotsly saddled, bridled and taken from Preston & Gillett's stable, and hitched near by. MT. Gillett just appeared out side of the store in season to see the thief making off with his horse on full galop. l Within an hour Constable Thomas, and 1 Gillett were off South and then west fetch ing up in Poughkeepsie on Friday after 1 noon, without single trace of the horse or thief until they stopped there. Lucki- l Iy in less than an hour from their arrival 1 they had the stolen horse in their posses sion. He had been traded off on the Wednesday previous. There is but. little l doubt that some one will have to give an account of himself Preston & Gillett of fered s10O reward; $50. for the horse and l $50 for the thief; and the town $100 for the thief so there is reward of $50 yet out i for the thief and we think he is marked, SO our detectives tell us. This is the sec 1 and time within six months that this store l has been broken into. @'1<s
 I As description of the augur left by l the thief on the premises may possibly come to notice of the person from whom
 he bought it, we give one: It looks as it
 had never beer used before. The handle l is of the usual size, form and timber, but I it has ferrule about inches long, very | highly polished, with socket in the
 middle of the handle. Into this socket,
 on the side of the ferrule, is inserted a
 thumb screw so that the augur can be put
 in and takencout by the turning of this
 thumb screw. arr -A 1s't 1e,,- 1 Y -,5sE z -.------- faF 1s
