Duncannon RObberies.-On Thursday
night, March 10th, thieves broke into
the clothing store of Mr.. Henry Hirsch
In this place. They had taken tools
from the wagonmaker shop of Enoch
Baker, with which they took out pan
ell of the back door of the store, and ef-
fected an entrance in that way. The
tools were found on the floor the next
morning. They then lit q lamp which
was burning in the morning and put a
piece of muslin up at the window that
the light could not be seen on the street.
They then ransacked the whole store,
strewing the floor with clothing that
their footsteps might not be heard.
They took large quantity of goods, the
best clothing in the store, all the jewel
ry, revolvers, large number of shirts,
handkerchiefs and many other articles,
the money drawer was also opened and
$3.50 in change taken. They took two
large carpet sacks and five shawl straps
in which they packed the goods.
On last Saturday night between 10 and
- o'clock thieves entered the residence
of Mr.. John Harper above town by cut
ting two large window glass and hoist
ing the window. They plundered
around awhile and gathered up the fol-
lowing articles; an umbrella, doz.
cigars and a pocket-book containing 80
cents the property of Miss Matte. A
set of solid silver spoons and number
of other small articles of value was un-
molested. Mr.. Harper is in the habit of
prowling around the house at night and
discovered what had been done about
2 O'Clock in the morning, and he says
if they had been there they would have
met with a cool reception as he has the
implements of war around. He thinks
the parties belong to Duncannon, and
from the tracks in the snow there were
three of them.
On the same night the residence of
Rev. Heilman was entered by breaking
open window shutter but nothing was
disturbed except some canned fruit

A Road Slnks.-On Friday last, while
Abner Miller, residing on the Malavery
farm, Franklin county, was driving
along the M'Dowell public road leading
to Shady Grove, and was enjoying the
sight of field of fine growing wheat
opposite, a loud cracking noise was
heard, which frightened his horse SO
much that it was with difficulty that he
was restrained from running off. On
investigation MIR. Miller discovered the
report to have been caused by the sink
ing Of the roadbed alongside his wagon.
Capt Samuel Lesher and several Others
measured the hole and it was found to
be ten feet in diameter one way and
twenty the other. A pole twenty-one
feet long was run into the hole and no
bottom found. 1t is now filled with
water within three inches of the surface.
