- Robbery In MillerstOwn. - The store
house of T. Cluck, in Millerstown, was
broken into Tuesday night, by forcing
the front door. The intention of the
thieves was, no doubt, to crack" the
safe. A burglar alarm which connects
the store with Mr.. Cluck's residence
warned that gentleman of the doings in
his store. There was nothing taken.--
THE parties were tracked into Centre
Square, Newport, distance of five
miles, where all track was lost. The
tools used to break in the above store
were taken from Ziegler's wagonmaker
shop, just above Newport.

AN UPSET. On Thursday last John
TClouser met with a mishap that was
caused by icy roads. He had on load
of charcoal and was passing around the
bend near the residence of Samuel
Brown in Centre township, where the
road slopes toward the meadow when
his wagon slipped over the bank. For
tunately the hounds broke,or the weight

over too, perhaps injuring some of his
horses. AS it was his wagon bed was
broken and the charcoal scattered over
nearly half an acre of ground. The
supervisor has since fixed the road.
Tile Peoples +. II. R.-From the short
reference we made last week to the cases
brought before the Mifflin county court,
perhaps the result may not be under
stood. These suits have been brought
TO recover on subscriptions for grading
and work. The subscriptions being
only for work to be done in grading
AS long as it could not be shown that
Sufficient money had been collected to
cover those outlays, there was no ques-
ition in any court as to the liability of
always recovered and the supreme court
sustained the decisions.
Since the cases were last tried in this
county number of parties had settled
their assessments, and these amounts
added to former collections enabled the
defendants to put in as answer, that
enough money had already been collect
ed to cover all expenses for work done.
That being established it left the COM
pany without anything to base their
claim on, and justified the court in
taking theaction that was so satisfactory
to the defendants. Some persons may
wonder why such defense was not
sooner made. Had it been done it would
probably not have been successful, as it
was only the latter payments that war
ranted the defendants in taking this
course.
