laA for the purpose of considering the
'pr4position of the Directors to establish
a recreation room in counection with
the Institute. There was a very fair at- •
tetidance of members. All seemed to
agtee with that part of the proposition
to have draughts and chess, but some
opposition Was offered to introduaing
billiards into the proposed recreation
rotn. This opposition, however, was
no so much against the tables as against
incurring the necessary expense at the
present time to secure 'the tables. Af-
tei considerable discussion, a, resolution
approving of the scheme of the Direct-
ficient teacher. In doing this theyhave
simply expressed the sentiments of those

RTIRGLARY.- On the night of the 10th
inst„ the store of Mr. Marks was enter-
ed by three thieves. Mr. Marks had
noticed some suspicious looking char-
actersaround during the day, and was
on the watch. ISOmetime through the.
night they made an entrance, when Mr.
Marks and some others rushed upon
them. Afteremptying their revolvers
two of therobbers made their escape,
but the third one was captured. In
the fray Mr. Marks and. Mr. Rutledge
had a narrow escape, a ball grazing the
cheek of Mr. Marks. The name of the
man•caught is Dan Sheppard, formerly
of Goderich township, but has recently
been living in the States. Two others
were apprehended, but nothing could
be proven against them. Mr. Marks
lost some $80 a short time ago, it is
supposed that it was the same parties
who took it. Sheppard was taken before
the magistrate, and cOmmitted to stand
his trial. He is a desperate and disre-
putable character. He had in his pos-
session a horse and. buggy, a quantity of
clothing in trunks, and a box of spoons,
all of which_ are supposed. to be stolen
property. Considering the free use
which the scoundrel made of his revol-
ver, it is almost miraculous that some
person was not killed.

tered as qualified to 'Vote. The appeal
was entered byl Mr. Wm. Lee at the in-
stigation of Die Holmes, who is to be
