Rurgf8Ry.

On Saturday night last the Store of
George B. Duke, at Kellersyille, was
broken into and robbed Of goods amounting
to, as near as can be ascertained, about SIX
hundred dollars. The entrance to the
store was effected through the 2nd story
window by means Of a ladder, which the
thieves found near the store. The thieves
first attempted to effect an entrance through
back door by boring, but were baffled in
their efforts here, the auger striking bolt,
when they abandoned this way Of entrance
and used the ladder as above described.
Mr. Duke did not discover the robbery
until Sunday morning about 10 o'clock,
when he casually entered the store for
some trifing thing
On hill near by, the scoundrels, it ap-
pears, assorted their plundered goods,
taking off the marks and taking out the
boards around which the goods were
wrapped There to the number Of s or 10
were left snugly piled up.
Two strangers who stopped that night
at the Kellersyille Hotel, we learn, are the
suspected parties.

THE Hon. Andrew Storm, Of Northamp-
ton county, former resident of this county,
and one time an Associate Judge Of our
courts, was in this section visiting the many
warm friends he earned for himself by life
of honor and usefulness when resident here.
All were pleased to take him heartily by the
hand, and TO see the very ight change which
time has made in him. Judge Storm, to
our eye, looks as well and as young as he did
ten years ago, and we were glad to see this
Indication that many years were to be added
to his honorable life. The Judge spent two
days with his friends in town, during which
he visited the Court which was in session,
and, on invitation Of President Dreher occu-
pied seat on the Bench-his seat Of the
years lang syne." While he was occupying
that position many pleasant "reminiscences
of old times foated through our memory.
and we could hardly make ourself believe
that nearly fifth Of century had passed
since he left the Bench May the Judge live
long in the land, and may his future visits
not prove SO few and far between.

The Democratic Congressional Conference
met at Wilkesbarre yesterday. We have
not heard the result, bat from general repu-
taton of the Wilkesbarre political sharpers
we fear the outside counties will be over
slaughed. But why hold the conference
outside of the district We should think it
contained territory enough to afford room for
the girations of its own politicians The
thing altogether looks anything but honest
