The .Millerton Robbery.

Particulars of the WOrk-Hoyv the Deed
 Was Accomplished.
 The particulars of the daring burglary at Millerton, just over the line in New York State, accomplished Tuesday morning at 1 @. m, are as follows The burglars gained en- trance to the store of James Finch, in which the postoffce is also kept, and proceeded to the rooms over the store where Finch and his clerk named Decker were sleeping. Decker was first aroused by being throttled, and on opening his eyes discovered by the light o% the dark lantern three masked men, one on one side of the bed and two on the other with revolvers 1eve1ed at him. They immediately proceeded to bind and gag him. Resistance was useless, though he did en- deavor to keep his mouth closed, so that they could not force the gag into it. He succeed ed in calling out 'Jim" to Mir. Finch who was in the next room, but the gag stopped further outcries. His call awoke Mir. Finch and was probably the first notice to the bur- glars that they had another man to deal with. They immediately entered Finch's room and found him sitting up in bed, seized him, and after a sharp tussle had him bound and gagged They then took both men to the room below. In the struggle with the bur B1dIS, "oS hIOChSu OOWu IUE0o G1ul6S, and knocked one of the burglars down once Finally, after resisting as long as he deemed resistance was safe, he yielded and opened the safe by the combination lock. The burglars then robbed the safe of $1 1000 in cash, $275 in checks and $1 ,OOO in postage stamps of different denominations They also rified @ tin box belonging to Mrs. Jones of Millerton. She was out of town, and the value of her property stolen is not known. Some valuables belonging to other parties were also taken. The most of the cash and checks stolen belonged to the viii lage corporation, and were deposited in the safe for safe keeping After securing this plunder the burglars took Finch and Decker to their rooms over the store, and left them bound and gagged. Soon after they left Finch succeeded in relieving himself of the gag, and calling out attracted the attention of Mir Clark, proprietor of the hotel adjoining, who, with his colored servant, went to the relief of the men. The burglars are described as three in number, short, thickset men, and dressed in dark clothes, five feet five to eight inches in height. MT. Finch offers $1,OOO reward for the arrest of the thieves and the return of the property.
 There is a suspicion that the burglars may be some of the prisoners that escaped from the Hudson (N. Y.) jail two or three weeks ago. They may be part of the gang that robbed the Middletown Savings bank. The postoffice at Norfolk was also robbed, it will be remembered last week

Mir. c. ". Reed, the wen-known grocer and commission merchant, for number of years in business on State street, below George and later on George, near State, died at his residence on Shelton avenue on Tuesday.

A visit was recently paid to one Of the

which has sprung up entirely within the past
FIVE years, but which is now increasing with
wonderful rapidity and the operations and
methods Of which are worthy Of description.
We refer to the establishment Of C. !. Hood

are put up and shipped to various parts Of
the country.
After securing, by continued experiment,
for his regular business, as pharmacist,
preparation Of Sarsaparilla which effected
the most wonderful results in certain bad
cases Of scrofula and other diseases arising
from impure blood, Mr. Hood found that the
demand for the remedy grew with surprs.
ing rapidly, each case cured giving rise TO
new calls for its healing virtues, until from
the manufacture Of few bottles at his
drug store, the demand called for thousands
ofgallons, which are sent all over New Eng
land. This growth necessitated more com
modious quarters for its manufacture. The
firm first took a large room in Southwick
block, on Prescott street. But even that
was soon outgrown, and now G. l. Hood
Co. occupy the whole Of the new
building erected by Judge Crosby on the
bank Of the Concord river at the westerly
end of Church street bridge. This building
is three stories high, with basement in
the basement is every convenience for wash
ing the thousands Of bottles now used from

as the storage room for finished goods, and
