A Wiser Robbed OF -. 200.

For years past Frank Moore, who
lives on Stewartss Run, Richie coun.
ty, this State, has been known as n
miser, keeping large sums of money
secret about the old 10y hut in which
he lived and in the rocks outside.
Fully $4,000 in cash, mostly specie,
was popularity supposed by the neigh
bors to be thus concealed. At irregu-
lar intervals Moore would examine
and count his hoard, and at such times,
his friends say, gold and silver would
lie in piles on the table in Moore's
sleeping room. Two weeks ago he
made an examination of three lots of
specie, and last night he concluded
TO look at il again. An overhauling
of the bags and old stockings in
which the cash was kept, showed that
$4,000 in gold and $4,000 in bills
had been stolen by some one who had
watched previous examination and
noted where the money was conceal
ed. There is not the slightest clue
to the thief.
