BOLD ROBBERY.
Chas. II. NasOn's Store Entered and S2OO
Worth of Goods stolen.

On Saturday night the clothing store of
Chas. II. Mason, on the east side of Water
street, was entered by burglars, who sue
ceeded in rifling the money drawer contain
ing SIS and carrying away $500 worth OF
goods. An entrance was effected into the
cellar in the rear of the store, thence
piling up boxes and climbing upon them
lifted scuttle door, crawled through on to
the first floor, then ascending flight OF
stairs and cutting out the catch of the lock
on the door at the head of these stairs an
entrance into the store proper was effected,
making their escape by the same way in
which they entered. Various opinions are
rife as to the how or where the thieves came
or went, some thinking that they came up
the river In boat, securing their plumber,
then drifting quietly down the river. Others
'hink that team may have been secreted
behind SWANS coal shed, and the goods
loaded into that. However this may be, 1t
appears quite plausible that whoever they are
must have been persons thoroughly ac-
quainted with the premises. City Marshal
White will use every effort to ferret out the
villains and bring them to justice.

clear yesterday to abide by the convection.

defiance of the party you have done so much
to build up, | am informed that only one
issue will be issued before change of editor

lie sentiment is power that DESTROYS kings,
even, and overrdcs all law and sets at
naught the counsels of the greatest and best
of men. You cannot afford to make a mis-
take now. You hold power over the
Greenback party of Maine which you could
WELD for good by going with the party; but
if You bolt your usefulness is gone. felt
last night YOU had made n mistake, and for
