climate, and its purity and sweetness are
unaffected. In the use, but one pound is
taken out at time, and that can be used
before there is time for g change. II has
been used for some time by the Govern
ment, and found TO be more economical,
palatable and satisfactory, than buying in
bulk in the ordinary way and exposed to
spoil and loss. Even at the apparently
high price of 35 or 10 cents pound, the
economy is apparent. Mr.. S. R. Norris,
from Cleveland, has opened a depository
at the L. ). station, where some Of our
merchants and others are procuring their
supplies. He has been shipping it to vsrl-
Gus quarters of the land, and the U. b

Last Monday night the clothing store Of
John Porter on Main street was again en-
tered by burglars and clothing consisting
of two over coats, kid gloves, silk hand
kerchiefs, underclOthing, etc., amounting
in value to 800 were taken. The entrance
was effected by breaking out pane OF
glass in window in the north west corner
of the building. A savage bull dog was
chained within four feet of this window,
but not near enough to grab the fellow as
he came into the store. About twelve
O'Clock of that night Mr.. Porter's family
who live in the building in the rear of the
store, heard the dog bark, and got up and
looked out Of the window, from which they
could see through the store, but nothing
was seen to excite their suspicious. This
is the second time within the past month
that this store has been broken into, the
loss from the first visit being $500.
