~ On last Saturday night one of the
boldest thefts that New Hope has experienced
for years, was perpetrated, and the robbers SO
far succeeded as to escape with not small
amount of booty, without being molested in
the least. Two buildings were entered, Ed
gar Mellin's house, and Michael Van Harris
hotel. At Mellin's number of articles OF
valuable clothing, belonging to different mem.
bers of the family, pocket-book containing
300, and an old silver candle-stick-a relic
were taken. 1t is supposed the house was
entered by way of the front hall door the
key in the lock within being turned by use
of nippers. Although most of the articles
stolen were taken from occupied bedrooms,
yet, strange to say, nothing was known by
them of the matter until Sunday morning.
At Van Harris the same modus operGndi was
observed. A door was entered opening into
the parlor, and from thence they proceeded to
the dining room and secured five overcoats
Mr.. Van Harris suit Of clothes, entire, which
had been worn by him on Saturday, was TAX
en- from his bedroom. $57t in cash, sable
muff, and a stand lamp all shared the common
fate. The Solebury Vigilant Society offers a
reward Of $l00'for the conviction of the gull
ty parties. Some light, though very little as
vet, has been thrown upon the affair. A silver
trade dollar, belonging to Mr.. Mellin, has
since been found on Dark Hollow Hill and
Johnny Lovett was arrested at Bustleton
Pa, and brought to New Hope, last Tues
day. evening on suspicion OF having been inn
plicated. He had been on visit to and left
New Hope, we are told, under suspicious cir
cumstanccs.

ADVERTISING VENDUEs.-It always pays to
advertise public sales. says an exchange.
A newspaper is read by hundreds who never
see the attractive bills which are posted in
the taverns and the store rooms Every sub
scriber to a paper reads all such advertise
ments carefully. He knows who is selling
out and exactly what is offered for sale. The
advertisements are a topic for conversation
when friends meet, and arrangements are
made to attend the sales. The result is a
large crowd. spirited bidding, and realiza-
tion of ten, twenty or fifty times what it costs
to advertise. No meney is so sure TO return
profit as that spent in printers ink. A single
additional bidder on a single article will pay
all costs to advertise any personal property in
a newspaper. It is strange then that any per-
son viii fail to advertise.

tB That "one dollar fracas" in New
Hope, on Monday evening, was very dis
graceful affair." 1t appears that some parties
were inclined to be troublesome because a
new silver trade dollar, claimed to have been
found on Dark Hollow Hill, by boy named
Mulroony, was identified as the piece taken
by the thieves of Saturday night, in common
with the 800, from Edgar Mellin's residence.
Constable Solomon arrested Thos. Mulroony,
who was quite obstreperous, and with some
assistance forwarded him in the direction of
the lookup. He was interfered with, however,
by Michael Shannon, who was of the opinion
that the prisoner should not go into the cool
err Attention was then turned to Shannon
His father at that moment appeared upon the
scene, and went to work with a pugilistic will
and skill to have his progeny shut up. The
pulling" and "hauling" became gen.
eral, and great deal of confusion and loud
shouting followed. Partisan spirit ran high,
but we are glad to say that quiet again
prevailed, shortly after Shannon was {" hous-
ed" At o'clock, the same evening, he was
ushered into Squire Johnson's presence, and
placed on bail for his appearance at o'clock,
p. NJ, on Tuesday. The trial was still defer
red we understand until this wednesday,
morning, owing to the spirited condition OF
the interested party.

GREAT GALE OF WIND-SERIous DAM
AGE.-This "wednesday morning this sec
ton was visited with severe gale of wind
1t commenced about half-past four o'clock,
and for an hour or two blew with force that
has rarely been equalled in our recollection.
The most serious damage that was done
was the destruction Of the third story Of the
handsome building Of the Hibernia Engine
house, in this city. II is supposed that the
boarding that covered the rear windows of
that story was blown in and the wind either
raised the roof or pushed out the side walls.
At any rate the side and rear walls Of the
third story fell to the ground in mass, and
the tin roof and timbers were left crushed
mass, partly resting on the third-story floor
This occurred about a garter to five o'clock.
The loss will be from six to eight hundred
dollars, and is a very severe one to the Hiber-
mia boys, who have put forth every exertion
to raise funds to pay for their house.
A barn on Cottage Hill, used by P. B.
Mackey s. Co., was blown down, and piece
Of the roof of B. r. Loder's house was also
blown off.
The building used to store the farm machin-
cry on Mr.. w. Fl. Gandey's farm, near this
city, was also blown down.
Several sheds were unroofed and other
damage done.
We also hear that the front wall of the COL
ored N. E. Church in New Hope was blown
in. 1t is also rumored that the roof ON span
of the Lnmberville bridge was carried off.
