Richmond street, was recently broken into
by burglars, who wandered through the
house collecting all the valuable clothing
they could find, rolled it up and threw i,

watch and chain, gold ring, and several
other yaluables, OF which they quietly took

leave the room had to pass by the bed where
Mrs. Menard lay asleep. He paused for a
