st. Johnsoury, mas moved into the Far
well house, OH water street
on Monday night, the 9th inst, the
store Of H. W. & NJ. B. Chafey. was
entered and plundcred to an enormous
extent. An entrance was effected by
opening one of the window blinds and
removing pane of glass. The articles
taken, consisted of the money in the p.
o. box, a jackknife and wallet from the
showcase, &C., to the amount of some
S., so far as has been astertained. The
bold robber, who was easily trapped the
next day, turns out to be a minor, poor
and rather ignorant, who is stopping in
the place through the winter, and whose
name, out of charity, we will withhold,
his time. He was fined $40 Perhaps.
in Justice to the poor fellow, we ought
to say that his father is reported to be a
miserable scoundral, and from what we
know, we credit the report. 1t is said
he turned the boy out of doors last
spring. about the time he came to our
town. The boy worked hard and faith
fully all summer for one of our most re-
spectable citizens, giving good satisfac-
uou and to encourage the young man,
his worthy paternal progenitor kindly
came in the fall and demanded his sum-
mers wages, leaving him barely enough
to purchase a winter suit of clothing.
Thus we may infer that the young man
/. eXcusable to some extent, but we hope
he will profit by this lesson, and 90 and
sin no more.
