street topic OF st. Johnsbury this
week. The facts are these: Some
time ago Tisdale, the furniture deal

liable pallOr chair from his show
rooms. He mentioned it to Chase
OF the Union, and the published
item brought Mr.. Tisdale private III
formation that the chair could R

tenement in Wards Block. Tie
information proved true. and the
chair was recovered. n. N. John
son, dry goods dealer, had mis.rd
goods for some time, AMI hearing If
the recovery of the chair, followed
the scent and recovered about o2OO
worth of goods out of between 600
and $500 worth that had been taken.
Among the articles were u whole
roll OF carpeting, whole piece Of
Japanese silk, whole piece of En-
press cloth, iewelry, flannel, cotton,
&c, &c. These goods We're taken
little at time, not, as Mr.. Johnson
believes, by shop lifting, but bv
burglary. A war . was ISSUE 4
for Wilson, and while the papers
were in preparation. Officer Weeks
was Watching him in LOnergans
store, but in some unexplained way
let him on. Wilson and johnson
followed him in a buggy, and overs
took him at Jacob Hovey's place,
but he waded Moose River aud took
to the woods. He was afterwards
seen on the opposite side of the
woods, but perceiving that he was
watched. he went back, and has not
yet been found. MIR. Johnson offers

was found to be stopped at twenty
minutes past three. and it is thought
that the explosion took place at
that hour. The burglars no doubt
expected to reapa rich harvest from
the bakery safe, inasmuch as their
l~ddlers usually return Saturday
nights with considerable money
