THE BOY BURGLARS AGAIN.

Between S5 and 80 stolen from l.. L..
DaVis'S EStabIIsment Tuesday Night--
Attempts Made 90 Enter the BOyn1On
and KsIns Stores.
The boy burglars were heard from again
Wednesday morning, when L. L. Davis,
on entering his printing and stationery es-
tablishment, found that between IS aud
80 In change had been stolen from his
cash drawer. The thieves had nmmaged
through the goods In the store and had
probably taken two or three articles in ad-
ditlon to the cash. A quantity of stamps
in the money drawer were not touched.
The drawer was not fastened. Entrance
was gained by removing the putty from
the glass in the door at the rear of the
store, and then taking out a part OF the
glass, leaving an opening about q foot
square, through which the juveniles
crawled. The opening was not large
enough to admit the body of a good-sized
man. On leaving the lntruders raised a
rear window. Attempts were also made TO
enter the adjoining stores of A. r. Boyn
ton, the shoe dealer, and John 7. Kaine, the
grocer. Al Mr.. Boynton's store the putty
was dug away from q glass In rear window.
Boxes we're piled against the rear door of
Mr. Kaine's store and an effort was made
to open the transom. 1t is probable that
the thieves we're frightened away before
they had an opportunity TO enter these
stores. 1t is believed that the depreda-
lions were committed early in the evening.

Mrs. Sarah Miller BOyn.on.

Mrs. Sarah Miller Boynton died on Mon.
day morning Dec. 8, at the home of her
niece, Mrs. Carrie Richardson, on High
land street.
Mrs. Boynton was a daughter of Royal
aud Betsey Cook Miller and was born Oct.
8, 1920, in Dummerston. The family
moved to West Brattleboro, where they
lived many years. Many people, who were
pupils of Sarah Miller, remember her as
an excellent teacher, possessing the requi-
site characteristics of kindness, tact, thor
oughness and precision which make the
model school.
She was married to Manley Boynton OF
Newfane Nov. 10, 1894, and they soon af-
Ter moved to Auburn, Mass, where he
died in 1882. In 1886 she sold her farm
there and came to live in the family of her
sister, Mrs. William WinslOw, at West Brat
tleboro, where she has since made her
home. In early life she united with the
Congregational church, and was always a
consistent and active Christian worker
wherever her lot was cast. She was also
an active member of the Grange at Au-
burn. For about ten years she has suffer
ed from lameness caused by broken hip,
the result of fall, and also from an in
durable nervous malady, which caused her
the greatest suffering, but through it all
her Christian faith, exceeding fortitude
and patience never forsook her, and with
her intellect remaining perfectly clear un-
til the last day, she shed halo of Chris
tian influence upon all around her.
Only few days before she died, while
Rev. Mr.. Lowe sat by her bedside, though
unable TO move or articulate very distinct
ly, she accurately repeated the 23d psalm.
Truly the Lord was her shepherd and He
will know His own. During all her years
of suffering 1t is our consolation to know
of the love and tender care given her by
each member of Mrs. Winslow's family,
which she always gratefully remembered.
