Berwick.

South Berwick, July 25. There have
been mum Der of petty burglaries about
town lately. Sometime in the early
morning, Friday, entrance was made to
the servants quarters at Mrs. Burleigh' IS
residence Oh Academy St., and in con-
sequence one of the servants is the poor
er by six dollars. Nothing else was
of Mr.. Isaac Rersom on A academy street
was also entered but nothing was taken
from here, but a pair of gold bowed glas-
SEES belonging to Mrs. Hersom. There
is no clue to the perpetrator of these pet
ty thefts, but it seems as if he must be
either vicious youth or an amateur in
the business.
