on this charge.
The depot in this place was broken into
on Friday night, 9th ult., by burglars.
They entered by breaking a pane of glass
in the window; they also entered the Of
flee by breaking the ticket window. They
opened two or three letters, three express
packages and two trunks, but evidently
could not find anything they wanted, ex-
cept one express package which they
carried away. They tried to open the
baggage room door but failed, and then
broke in the window from the outside
There is nothing missing from the trunks
as is known. There were two trunks that
were not molested. They left short
handled AK which was identified as be-
longing to w. ID. Bronson and was taken
from his sugar house where they had ev
identity made their headquarters for time
past; also a pair of boots and plate
were found in the sugar house which
were taken from the hotel in this place
last Thursday night. Probably the esti-
mated loss to the railroad and express
companies will not amount to over ten
or twelve dollars. They have no clue to
the thieves yet.
Some thirty or more of the friends and
neighbors of Charles o. Dawson gave
him call last Friday evening as it was
the tenth anniversary of his marriage.
The band turned out and gave them some
music for the occasion. 1t was sur
prise to them as they knew nothing of it
until the party began to come. All enjoy
ed it much.-Republican.

The celebration came off as advertis ed
with q large attendance, much noise, and
a general good time. 1t goes without
saying that the Grafton of Judge Thomp-
was good. The fireworks were probably
as good as were ever seen on the Com
mon. No accidents are reported.
Mr.. Ord, who is trying to run as good
a hotel as the place will afford, complains
that the people here give him little en-
enlargement. Whenever there is an oppor-
tunity to entertain people at the hotel,
the people and church societies bid for
all the custom and take the business
| from the hotel.

This time it was Byron Davis and Henri

About midnight, June Both, the dry
kiln in Harding & Thayer's yard was dis
covered to be on fire. Alarm was at once
given, and in an incredibly short time a
crowd of men, women and children had
gathered sufficient in number to form
four lines from the water tank. This or
ganization was kept up until daylight
when hose was attached to the penstOck
which furnished an abundance of water
and relieved the nearly exhausted work
ers. The dry house, and about 800 cords
of slaves, with, perhaps, 100 cords of
heading were burned, and only by fouI
hours of hard work was the shop and
new dry house saved. The loss is prob
ably something near $25, 900. Mr.. Hard
ing's people extend thanks through this
paper TO those who SO kindly helped
them.
