ing TO find his clothing taken from it's place
at the head Of the bed, and on investigation
found his trousers in q chair in the dining
room with $50 or $50 in money gone. His
vest was missing and had not been found At
last accounts. How entrance was gained TO
the house is not known. The side door
toward Tyler street was ulfastened, but the
servants are not positive that II was bolted
the night before.

Mr.. Willis had about him.
The Bradleys found that the back part Of

Wm. Leonard found his pantaloons in the
dining-room, his wallet lying on the mantel
in his sleeping-rOom, and (about) 81 10 in
loose change (all his ready money, he sor-
rowfully says) gone. Mr.. Leonard thinks the

For the work done the returns must have
been small, but little over 800. No watches
or other vAluAbles taken-nothing but cash.
There is no clue to the thieves aud they have
undoubtedly passed on 10 pastures new. On
the previous night several houses in Keene,
N. IL, were burglArized, and the reasonable
supposition is that the work was done in bott
places by the same parties.

but It is doubtful IL the theft was committed
by the same parties.
