 Monday morning 1t was discovered that during the night burglars had enter. ed the general store of Fuller & Needham in Somers. The safe had been blown open and the contents taken, valued at be- tween BOO and $2OO, including money and stamps. The nost-oface was in the atore. Enttanee was effected by forcing the front door, and it was evidently the work of professionals who have been operating in this section this summer. A reward of $200 is offered for the capture of the thieves. The thieves forced off the Yale lock on the front door. The safe was ir the rear of the store, and was about five feet high. They drilled hole in the tor of the safe, put in 8 heavy charge ot powder, and blew it completely to pieces the goods and fixtures to the store being badly damaged. The explosion must have made terrific noise, but so far as known was heard by only one man resid ing on the opposite side of the wide street He was awakened by the noise, but die not make any investigation. The store and contents were damaged $200, making a total loss of $400. The burglars left tools in the store, consisting of chisell taken from Chapman's blacksmith shop The work was evidently done by parties who were well acquainted in Somers The clerk in the store occupies tene ment adjoining the store, and his bedroom is only few feet from where the saf, stands in the store. But Sunday ant Sunday night he and his wife were attend ing camp-meeting in Springfield, and was the first time they had been away fo many months. The house on the othe side of the store is occupied by a woman who is very deaf, so that the thieves ha' an excellent chance to work. Fuller . Needham keep their bank account at Springfield bank, and deposit two or thre times week, which was evidently know to the burglars. (Correspondence.)
