Festivals, Runaway, Robbery, &c. A
 strawberry and ice cream festival will be
 held by the ladies of the Congregational
 Society in Fuckers Hall this evening "A
 horse belonging to the Brinton Bros. was
 frightened by the rolling of barrel while
 standing at the depot attached to wagon
 loaded with soda and sarsaparilla, and by
 turning suddenly about, two wagon wheels
 were completely demolished, and third
 one nearly used up, and, Bottles were scat
 tered somewhat promiscuohsly about the
 horse breaking loose from, the wreck, pro-
 posed to leave, but was fortunately stopped
 before receiving any injures, save gash
 in it's foot......The passenger train going
 north, which leaves this place at 545, A. M., commenced to take passengers at this sta
 ton, on Monday, who were going to F., T.
 Barnum's circus and menagerie, which was on exhibition in. Pittsfield that day. and up on the arrival there the train consisted of
 IF loaded cars drawn by two engines,..... The grand rush at present is at Mercy <
 Hawley's millinery and dress making es, tablishment. They have the best lmilliner in the county. and the most stylish and cheapest hats eyer offered in this vicinity .. The store of the Brewster Garfield Go. was broken into on Thursday night, the 9th inst, by some penurious characters, (to say the least if not professional burglars. They gained entrance into the building on the west or back side of the store through, a cellar window, which was protected by iron bars, which they removed sufficiently by prying and bending, to admit of per sons passing through. Their next obstruc- tion was bolted door at the top of the stairs, which opened into grocery room. This door was apparently pried upon until the bolt was broken. When this was ac- they met with no other difficult ties in approaching the iron safe, the inside of which it seems they had curiosity to examine, and judging from the appearance next morning, of scattered papers and books, and of the shattered lock and ruined safe door of said safe, they satisfied their at least, which was all the pay they took for their lobor, save few nlckels, (perhaps three dollars, the rest of the funds used in doing business having been other wise cared for. The iron till belonging in the safe was found near the stove with the top broken in, which it is fair to presume was left in disgust, as it contained nothing of value to them. No depredations were made about the store. Two tool chests be- onging to MT. Bundy's carpenters were broken into and rifled of ,chisels and bits, III of which were found about the prem ses. 'h One of the bits was evidently used l n boring into door of MT. U. H. Miners
 tore, which they commenced to operate | lpon without doubt, but were probably frightened away by dog in the store which vas heard barking in the night. The cloth ng store of J. B. Cohen and the postoff1ce Ct. Burlington, being broken into the night, leads us to believe these
 entry are travelling north. Who they are not positively known, but if the gentle 1anly looking stranger, who was judged to e 30 years or more of age, and about five eet eight inches in height, who was well uilt and we'll dressed, wearing black lothes and hat, and nice dark nous ache, who visited the store of the Brews- 1T Garfield Go. on Thursday afternoon and aimed entrance into the grocery room of aid store by purchasing two pounds of rackers, and who then excused his way in- ) the cellar by making an extensive pur hase of two pounds of pork, and who len went south on the railroad track, will ome around and prove himself innocent l this affair, he will remove large amount discreditable suspicion from the minds several who saw his operations on that
 thursday afternoon. CLIo.
