o'clock, while the family of Mr.. F. s.
Hovey were at supper, the dwelling
was entered by thieves through win
dow from the front portico. They
went direct to the room Of Mrs. Allen,
Mr.. Hovey's eldest daughter, and car
ried off her gold watch and chain, sew
eral breast pins, about $15 or $18 in
cash in two purses. The rascals were
evidently not in the house over ten
minutes No clue of the robbers has
been obtained. This is the fourth
time that burglars have visited the
house in the past twenty years.
An intellectual treat is in store for
our citizens on the evening of the 29th.
at Farnum Hall. Rev. Father Gibson
has secured Daniel Dougherty, Esq.
the silver tongued orator of Philadel-
phia, when he will deliver his best
lecture on "Oratory." The speaker
needs no introduction to our citizens,
especially those who have resided in
Philadelphia, where he is we'll known
as an eminent lawyer and orator, and
Father Gibson is to be congratulated
on securing the services of this gentle
man. Posters announcing the lecture
are now out. Let there be full house
on this occasion.
The advent of cold weather every
fall is, for some reason attended by an
increase of fires. Housekeepers, JAM
tors and Others should now see that all
heating apparatus is in good order, so
that when the fires have to be lighted
they may not endanger property. 1t
is mistake to suppose that the fues
which were sound enough when the
fires were put out in June are equally
so after having weathered the summer
The dampness to which they are ex-
posed in summer has done its oxidizing
work upon them, though they have not
been heated artificially. The safety
against fall fires caused by the "defec-
tive fue," especially in cheaply built
houses, is to overhaul the heating
apparatus and see that everything is
in good condition.
