Robbery at Bond Hill.

The residence Of Jas. II. Murray, at Bond
Hill, was entered by thieves last night,
in the usual way OF doing business now
adays. They found ladder on the
premises and got in the second-story
window, which was open, and without
alarming the inmates. The work was
done hurriedly, aud they carried the
clothing OF Mr.. Murray and his four
sons into the yard. They took from Mr..
Murray a pocket-book containing a con-
siderable sum OF money, but left his fine
gold watch, whlcn had his name en.
graved thereon. From the boys they
look three silver anu one gold watch
the gold wa4ch belonging to Albert MUIR
ray with his name engraved. From
Richard Murray they took $25 in cash.
1t seems that they did not want arti-
cles that had names upon them, although
they got q watch from Albert whIoh was
engraved. They left number of pocke t
pieces aud did not touch the silver-ware
OF any article that would lead to their
detection. The parties were no doubt
well posted, as Mr.. Murray sold large
lot OF hay yesterday, for which he re-
ceiyed the money.

a Spotted Scarf.

"lf sometimes dose childrens don't
take some better care NIT dere cload-
ings. purity quick don't buy dem some
more already" Thus sOliloquized farm
er Jacob Heinrich, who cultivates his
bean vines ON the hills back OF Newport,
while at the same time he reached his
brawny arm down into the tall grass
and grappled a spotted scarf. 1t was a
beautiful scarf, and represented in val.
ue several crooks of butter and innu-
merable eggs, not to mention gallon
upon gallon OF "smear-kase," so that
the old father was jpstly indignant upon
seeing 1t thus carelessly thrown about.
"Dot Kntrlna," he muttered, seizing the
article with Vicious grip, "dot Kari
na's just so dumb AS a jack-mule. She
thinks all desc tings DON'T cost nodings,
but--O, Himmel! Sac-r-r-r-. - and the
ancient farmer turned lo.se his
rneumatIo legs, and skipped out Of that
garden ike q rabbi. He dropped the
spotted scarf, never stopping to pick IL
up, and 1t was IA iull hour before there
WAS breath enough in his trembling
