Burglary,
On Sunday night or early on Monday
morning, the stere of Messrs. Barnwell &
Pickard was entered by burglars, who effect-
ed an entrance by rue cellar window. They
broke the iron bars that protected the glass,
and went through a grating on the inside, as
well. The parties evidently were not well
acquainted with the premises, judging from
the fact that theyattempted to gain an en-
trance to the Dry -goods, Department by way
of the cellar, as the door leading to the main
floor was blocked by shelving. This did not
stop them. They cat a bole iu the door suf-
ficiently large enough to allow the hand to'
pass through, in order to draw the bolt which
fastened it. Finding that this woald not
work, they rnade a surveycof the collar, and
finally discovered that an entrance could be
inacle to the Grocery apartment. This date
they were Bucoessfal, and after teaching the
Dry -goods Department, the thieves packed
together 'a pair of, pants, two suits of clothes,
n quantity of plated jewelry and ornament
as well as a small amount of cash t

sed before another swain—this time a
noble son of Fulcan residing in a vil
lege not teu miles south-weet of St.
Marys—"made up" to the widcey,
and in a few mouths the twain were
made ouo flesh. Tha newly -married
Bin had a brother, who also had an
eye on the widow, (tato events prove,
however, that the widow had an eye
on him) but the newly -married couple
seemed to enjoy their new life, and
all far a time went merry as a marri•
ago hell. But only for a time. The
woman was fair, site was frail, and
she wasn't forty. Her heart was

she arranged to meet him in Gran tali:
When elle was getting ready to start
for the trysting place at Granton, the
husband wanted to know where she
was going. Woman like, she was
ready with her excuse, she was going
to Granton to buy some things.

hero to say that there was a scene,
