HARDLY A SUCCESS. We must Com-
pliment the Forest ,Free Press on their
firek attempt to copy TEE Recoup ad-
vertisement which appeared in the
form of an. arch on our inside a few
weeks ago. ... The reading is copied well,
but the outside border- was not a suc-
cess this time. However, remember
the motto, "Try again,' you may be
successful next time. Of course you
needn't mention yeller eyou gotthedesign.
Pvnsti FOUND.—We understand that
4r. J. Stavely found a purse contain-
ing a large sun) of money last week
on Albert street, opposite Fair's Mill.
We have not heard whether he found.
an owner or not. -
ALL communications and other mat-
ter' intended for publication must reach
the office not later than nine o'clock on
Thursday morning. Copy or "change"
advertisements must beinnot later
than. noon Wednesday.

about his garment being. turned ,while

heat of the jewelry was in the safe.
They however got a few fancy articles
for their trouble, Mr. W. Taylor's
Shoe Store was also entered by the
back way and, a number of pairs of
boots taken. An attempt was made
the same night, to break into Mr. John -
Hodgin'a Dry Goods Store by the door
in the rear, but without effect. We
understand that it is the intentio n of
our townspeople to appoint a night
watchman. This we would consider a
step, in the right direction, as it
wonld prevent these petty burglaries,
which seem - to be getting so common
m our town, and would help to arrest a
number of 'fires which take place when
every person is wrapt in slumber,

TINE AGAIN,—The advertising col-
umns of a good live paper are probably
worth as much in a year to the general
reader as all the reading platter suppli-
ed, If readers would only reflect on
the many ways in which 'they benefit
from the announcements in our adver-
tising columns during the year they
would more fully appreciate, the value
of a newspaper.' A friend who lias•fot
some time been receiving this paper in
a distant land recently declared to us
that'he considered the advertisements,
as great a souree.of entertainment as.
the news columns. • Every one sheuld

angle of 45 degrees, then .letting his

vest, then replacing it, accomplishing
the difficult feat when the lady'is al-

no - doubt because the parties were in

too secure. for 'thein ,they :tried the

the chisel through between the door
and, the casing until they broke the
catch of the lock and forced the door
open, The safe by an oversight was:
left open and was ransacked and several
of the drawers broken, but nothing of
any account was found bee -ft. They
then set to work to supply themselves
'with clothing, and carried . off about
