A gang of bu rglars we're operating in
the upper part of the town on Saturday
night, and several dwellings we're entered,
though but little booty was secured as
far as we have been able to learn. They
entered the residence of Isaac Ballinger,
James Pancoast, DR.. Souder and VIM. 2
Flitcraft. At Isaac Ballinger's they
secured about So in money, and at DR..
Souder's they ransacked the lower part
of the house, opening doors and drawers
but nothing was taken. At Mr.. Fit
crafts the kitchen window was found
open, and a penknife found on an
adjoining window sill, with which they
had evidently raised the sash. Mr.. Fit
craft was up soon after midnight to look
at the heater, the house seeming to be too
warm, and he thinks he frightened them
away before they had an opportunity to
get anything. Had his burglar alarm
been set, he might have been able to give
the marauders warm reception. These
burglaries are thought to be the work
of amateurs, from the indications, and
that they were only after money. If this
be true they are entering upon danger
GUS career and they had better stop short
before the strong arm of the law lays
hold Of them and brands them with their
true character. Several of the neighbors
loaded their shot guns to be prepared on
Sunday night, should second visit be
attempted, and it will no doubt be unsafe
for any one to repeat the experiments
thereabouts.

An unpublished Letter OF the Late
Ambassador RunyOm.

AmO69S&uOE humyOms
Rev. J. R. Daniels, of Ocean Grove,
who is now conducting revival services
in the Woodstown M. E. Church, has
long had in his possession personal let
ter of the late Theodore Runy on, Am
bassador to Germany, which he prizes
very highly. and which now sees the
light for the first time. 1t would not
now be brought from its privacy, perhaps,
but for the fact that it reveals the Chris
tian character of the man and the deep
interest he had for the welfare of his
friends. AS will be observed, it was
written quite while ago and before the
writer had attained such prominence in
the world, but the character of the man
as revealed by this letter was maintained
until the day of his death, with that
mellowing aud ripeniDg influence which
age and experience give to character
fashioned such as his, and crowned with
grace and dignity that cause it to be
admired by all who love purity and
goodness. The letter was written to a
Judge in Warren county, who was then
anxiously feeling his way into the light,
and who afterward became devoted
member of the church, and was in res
ponse to a suggestion of Mr.. Daniels,
who was greatly interested in the saliva
tion of this man. The following is the
letter:
NEWARK, Oct. "a, 1867.
MY DEAR SIR:-I have been very much
gratified to learn that great revival of
religion is in progress in your city and
that its blessed influence has reached
your esteemed family. You will not,
know, deem it obtrusive of me If pre-
suming on our friendship, l add my
Christian entreaty to you not to let the
occasion pass without giving your heart
to God.
The time is SO opportune that l would
be glad to see you face to face, that
might urge you to take the step which
will secure your everlasting peace. do
not, of course, know the exercises of
your mind on the subject, bat / cannot
doubt that your attention has been
seriously turned to the Importance of
setting out in the Christian way. Do
not, I pray you, be deferred by appre
hended difficulties from coming to Christ.
Do not wait for stronger feeling or deeper
convictions, but ''turn unto the Lord
with full purpose of heart" He will
receive you, for has He not said, Him
that cometh unto me / will In no wise
cast out" The promise is, s'Seek and
ye shall find" The inclination to turn
to God (Which In itself includes the act
of repentance) and the resolution which
converts that inclination into a fixed
purpose, are. by Gods grace, all that is
needed by way of preparation to enable
as to accept ''the salvation which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord"
Let me commend to you the Christian
life. have not been very long in the
way, but have been long enough in it
to bless God daily that He ever turned
my feet into it, and to feel that no earthly
good is to be compared with the peace
which is only to be found through faith
in Christ. God grant that when these
lines reach you they may find you, too,
rejoicing in the Lord.
Very truly your friend,
THEODORE RUNYoN.
