A Bold Daylight Robbery.

The dwelling house of J. G. Gibson,
near SIX Points, Butler county, was III
vaded last week one day, about o'clock
P. NJ. by some unknown burglar. Mr.
Gibson was, at the time, out in one of the
fields; one of b 5 sisters was in an adjacent
wash house; one was ont after berries; and
a third was sleeping in an easy chair III
one OF the down stairs rooms.
The thief entered the front door, went
up stairs, rifed three trunks, and took
therefrom $120 in cash and 5000 in checks
on the Clintonviile bank. A revolver and
a watch were disarranged, but not taken.
on the forenoon of the same day, Mr..
Gibson was in the Exchange Bank at
Parker, and drew some money. a stran-
ger was IN the bank, at the time;and it Is
thought that this man, having seen Mr..
Gibson draw the money, folio wed him
heme, and, after cohcsaling himself and
noting the movements OF the family,
entered the house with the result above
stated. A short time before the burglary
took place, q tall dark complexioned man
stopped at Mr.. Joseph Crawford's, and
made inquiry as to the road by which he
could get to the latter's place. Minute
directions were given him; yet Mr.. Gibson
did not see him, or any other stranger at
mis- place that day.-Parker PHGHtr.
