1t is not often that we are visit
ed BY an October crop Of mosquit-
oes, but the past week the marshes
sent them forth in myriads. Per-
sons living down the meek" say
they were even worse than the i'm
mense lot which followed the big
rain of August. The weather is
too cool for the mosquitoes to be
exultingly frisky, and they are
neither so abundant nor independ-
ent as the summer progeny was in
town.
a SERIES OF BURGLARIES-
On Sunday night or rather on Mon
day morning three properties were
entered in our town with intent to
burgularize. The first was the
res .dence of Samuel Cats on South
Street, but nothing seemed to have
been taken but a lot of eatables
which they helped themselves to in
the pantry. The next was the
store of Miss S. B. Collins. The
entrance here was made through
the rear Of the building occupied by
Frank Wells who was awakened by
the noise, of which they must have
been aware, as they left without
disturbing any of the goods. James
H. Cotton was not so fortunate.
They forced an entrance through
the kitchen window, pried open the
door leading to the sittingroom,
then the door leading to the store
that had two fastenings, first how
ever, taking the precaution to fast
en- the stair door with railroad
spike so that a descent could not
be made. This was the first revel-
alton made to Mr.. Cotton of the
robbery, when he attempted to get
down stairs in the morning. He
had to descend from the window
outside over the roof. His loss will
be over 500 mostly jewelry, with
a lot Of gentlemen's underwear.
