full calamity in Winthrop, together with a bank

enter their village, put their horse and carnage
under the she'd, then enter the bank building and
drill and blow away at the safe half the night,
blowing glass and fragments of the doomed build

ably many were killed and wounded by the flying,
falling debris, and perhaps one half of the citizens
were taken prisoners. Has thar young man that
slept so near got over it yet? f. NJ. X.

the grand jury. A gentleman was here yesterday,
from Rome, near by where Yonng was arrested,
aud accuses him of stealing a coat. lie and his
wife had gone out of the house for an evening,
aud on returning found door open, but thought
nothing more of the affair. On Tuesday, the
gentleman went to look for certain csat, and not
being able to find it, mistrusted that it had been
stolen by Young. lie came to the city yesterday,
went to the Jail, and sure enough found tic coat
upon Young's back, His case will accordingly be
brought before the grand jury for breaking and
entering, a more serious crime than the horse
stealing affair.
