large projecting bulk windows, with
a double door in the centre, which is Sc

hanging on one of the staples, when one of
the three young men, who walked up in
front of the store, deliberately, and in the
view of Mr.. Picard and his son, took off
the lock and substituted one of the Yale
make, which he clapped together, fasten-
ing the door. Another of the trio then
struck the bulk window OH the north
side of the store several blows with
wooden mallet, making a large hole,
through which he reached and secured
two trays, one of which contained two
dozen gold, and the other eleven silver.
