last Monday evening by unlocking the
front door during his absence. After get
ting in the thief ransacked the house, and
took all the underclothing, handkercheifs,
etc., that he could pack into a small bum
die. He also made the discovery of
$72 so that was laying around loose, and
appropriated it. On the return of Mr..
Barbour, he found things generally scat
tered about the house his bed had been
stripped of the clothing, and was tied up
in a bundle. 1t is supposed that the
thief heard some one coming, and was
scared off before he had time to appro-
pirate anything more. This is the fifth
or sixth private residence that has been
plundered recently, and at each place
the thief seemed to have a penchant for
underclothing, taking all he could find.
So far no clue can be gained of the thief,
bat we pity him when caught.

Pony MAL.-The cause of the non-ar-
rival of the pony mail on Friday night,
says the Record. was that the rider from
the Hamilton side undertook to have n
long sleep, thinking no one would know
of it, but unfortunately for him Fred.
