GB- One of the detectives in Bergen CO.,
was looking about on Tuesday when sud-
denly it struck him to explore the attic
of an old school house by the roadside. He
crept up the ladder and opening the trap
door saw what at first he thought to be a
lot Of rubbish. But upon further investi-
cation he discovered that the loft was used
as the den and storehouss of gang of
burglars. A quantity of silverware was
found, several overcoats, one worth 500,
another $50, and handsome pocket mi
croscope worth $500. The whole made a
grand haul. The capture of the burglars
is looked for.

erratic courses, and the transit of Venus
can be calculated. and the time for each
can he accurately asccrtained in advance,
and science can even enable us t. fore

fails to enable any one to ascertain in
