An East Machiss correspondent of the Re-
publican writes: Last Monday night the
store of Charles and Ellery Drew, in the
town of Whiting on the road leading to Cut
Ter. vas entered by burglars and goods were
stolen. The burglars then entered the DWELL
ing house occupied by the brothers, situated
on the opposite aide Of the road, went into
their apartments aud took some $50 in money
and escaped without waking the occupants.
Next day two young men named Dunbar and
Leighton were arrested for the crime and, on
being arraigned before Justice Wilder at
Machias, pleaded guilty. In default of bail
both of them were sent to Jail to wait action
