has had call TO station at Jackson c. |

The HIllsboro Gazette, 2sth ult., says:
On Tuesday morning, about 9 o'clock,
Mrs. Morrow, whose dress-making estab-
hshment is over Vests dry goods store,
had occasion to go into rear room, and
was startled at finding the door held
tightly on the inside by a man, whose
hand and coat sleeve were partly visible
to her. Utterfnga scream, Mrs. Morrow
and other ladies present beat a retreat in
to another room, locking the door behind
them. From this room they succeeded in
giving the alarm through the skylight to
Mr.. West, who sent at once for the police.
In the mean time the thief had made his
escape down the stairway and out of the
front door. Upon entering the room, it
was found that stand drawer had been
opened and a large envelope containing
notes to the value of about 81 800 stolen.
The same drawer contained $500 in bonds,
gold watch and other articles of value
which were not taken, the supposition
being that the thief was disturbed before
he had completed the search for valuables.

sideration the item of corn alone. There

station during the past year 600 car loads
Of corn, or 275,000 bushels, averaging ii
at 40 cents per bushel, paid to the farmer
will make $10s, 900 circulated to them BY
our buyers Now put these cars in one
train, each car and coupling at 80 feet
would make train 391 miles long. Re.
member this is the item Of corn alone. II
we had the figures for the number of "a,
loads of wheat, stock and other articles

undoubtedly string out a train Of cars ,
miles in length, from the little station q
New Holland.
