Tered the basement story. large dog was
on guard outside the house. A small dog
was or guard in the story OF the house ib It
The thieves entered, but only one blrk es-
csp-d the bigger dog, and the little fellow
did not open his mouth The larger dog

Is believed that the thieves had some one
with them who knew The dogs The thieves
iit sperm candles when they were in the
house, and grease spots evidence that they
went up the stairway to the second floor,
but did no: get onto il, because Of the door
having been bolted on the inside. They
took nine dozen Of eggs, eight pounds OF
butter, bread, CAKES, meat and canned fruit,
and drank heartily of milk, as the educcd
auantit, In certain crooks evidenced. An
opened can of pears was left standing on
table IN the Kitchen. The thieves got into
Mr.. Stoutier's wardrobe and took thereirom
four pair OF heavy wooden stockings, and
LETT two pair of cast of stockings at the out

two pair OF the stolen ouss on their feet.
They took pair of French cali skin boots
and pair Of heavy boots, and a general as
sortment oi Mr.. Stoufer's clothing; and
many other things are missing, which they
doubtless carried away with them. Two

! siderable quantity Of the plunder in the
Cases. The only things they left behind
were the old s;ockinss, and two clubs al

be learned from this paragraph from his
speech at the Union League Houss in Phil
