Olnsy, Mrs. Louisa Bortle, Mrs. Mary Pratt, ].
L. Gilleit, and Dr.. Afford; also Heller's store.
The raseals failed to effect an entrance except
at Gilletrs, where by aid Of ladder they made
a tour Of the upper cha nlbers and secured a

thousand dollars, that Gillett had received late
in the evening and forgotten to put in the safe.

screen door, but disturbed the family and we're
obliged TO fee. At Heller's, the evening being
