NJ o CLOCK on wednesday morning.
BuRGLARIous AND FELoyious.-On Tues.
day night of last week, some individual. or
individuals, entered the cellar Of Prof. r. r.
Buell., next to the Montour House. and
abstracted a roll of butter containing 20
pounds.
On last Friday night the house of Mr.
Henry Bale, near Krider's Church, was
entered by burglars and an oyercoat valued
at $50, about Sl5 worth OF silver ware and
small sum Of money stolen. The burglars
went cautiously through nearly every room in
the house, evading Mr. Baile's bed room.
They were not heard by any member Of the
family, and it may have been fortunate that
they were not, as several butcher knives and
a carving knife belonging to Mr.. b. were
found near the door Of his room, as if the
robbers had carried them about the premises
to defend themselves if discovered. They
helped themselves to something to eat from
Mr.. BIS. larder and departed with their booty.
The same night several determined efforts
were made to break into the store of Mr.. w.
Q. Ligget, at the West End. II is believed
the parties making these attempts were well
armed and were only foiled in their nefarious
designs by the vigilance of Mr.. Iigget and
his clerks.
The same night DR.. John II. Sherman's
horse was stolen from his stable, on Penn
sylyana Avenue and ridden up the Gettys.
burg turnpike to the gate near Littlestown,
where he was left and from whence he was
recovered by DR.. Sherman the next day.
On Saturday night the flour and feed store
of Mr.. L. +. Reese, few doors from he
Post Office, was the object Of the felonious
efforts of some ofthe evil disposed individuals
lurking around. The solid wooden shutters
were forced open, pane of glass broken
from the window and success was about 10
crown their rascally work when a lady resid.
ing across the street, hearing the noise, became
alarmed and struck light, discovering which
the would-be robbers fed
II is probable that these outraees have been
perpetrated by strolling tramps, Of whom the
number seems to be on the increase, and we
ADVISE our readers to exercise caution and
carefully secure their premises against the
depredators. --.Seatiaef
