Robbed by the Light of the Moon.

On Thursday night, when Curtis, son of County Treasurer Hughes, retired, he lay his vest carefully in \he usual place, before hanging himself in the bed to sleep the sleep of the innocent. In the morning when he awoke, the vest was missing; it lay on the front verandah, but the gold watch and chain was missing from the pocket, and his pocket book, jack knife, etc., had disapeared from the pocket of his breeches; the fellow who got them had also disappeared, and has not yet been found. The watch stolen was given to Curtis as a birthday present by his father aud its loss is more regretted because of this fact.
