they would never have bored so many
holes around the lock of the door,
when they could have opened it with
out half the trouble. Finally they
gave up in despair, and forced the
door open. Entering the front store
they ransacked Mr.. Loder's private
desk and the money drawer, taking
therefrom about seven dollars in
change. After securing all the money
possible they carried off three hundred
segars and pound or two of tobacco.
There were probably two persons
engaged in this robbery, as all the in
dications point that way. One of them
was evidently very drunk, judging
from the vomit which he left on the
cellar floor and steps. Neither of the
burglars was an adept at,the business,
as their work was most clumsily exc
cuted. 1t is probable that the thieves
were young men connected with a
gang which has infested this city for
a year past.

Apropos of the situation one of our

A girl may be both young and fair,
A sweet and winning creature;
She may have hair of golden hue
And loveness of feature;
She may be dressed in silk attire
OF such write my sonnet
But to be perfect she must wear
pretty Louise bonnet.
Satin its strings, modest its plume,
A brim of broad dimensions
Thus should the bonnet fairy match
Its wearer's sweet pretentions;
And when she shines with all her charms,
Casting their glow upon it,
Our senses are at once bewitched
BY this swell Louise bonnet
Although lady may be plain
Not pretty as to feature
Her hair bright red, her eyes pale green
In fact homey creature;
Yet, if her bonnet is the style,
The ladies, dear, they're human),
Will all exclaim in quick accord,
"Oh! what charming woman.''
We see bright bonnets here and there
Pop out like sweet spring flowers;
Well, they combine the lace and gold,
These dainty hands of ours!
And husbands, would you have on earth
The happiest woman on it?
Take home some pleasant winter eve
