stolen. The burglar also helped himself
to food but it is thought confined his
attention to the lower floor OF the
house II was soon discovered that the
Moody house nearby had been enter
ed. but as it was unOccuDied and the
furniture cleared. nothing was taken.
A suspicious looking character was no
ticed passing through the village sew
eral times during the latter part Of
the afternoon Wednesday and it is
thought the theft was planned, know
ing that the houses would be closed
while an entertainment was being Civ
en- in the hall. Suspicious were further
confirmed by the fact that the fellow
was seen walking in the direction of
Mr. Cary's house about dark. 1t is re-
ported that he was afterwards seen not
far away, but though search is being
made no trace of him has vet been
discovered.
