Mr. O'Connor, the Republican correspondent, is terribly out of humor at a certain party for leaving a traction engine in the public highway for a few hours, and he talks of commencing suit against them. Last Saturday evening a couple of thieves entered the store owned by Meyers Bros, and visited the money drawer, taking all the contents but a few small pieces, which amounted to about fifty cents. Meyers Bros, declare the thieves are inhabitants of our town. The robbery took place while they were in an adjoining room after butter for a certain party and when on rexorning the money was gone and the thieves out of town and nothing has since been heard of their whereabouts. The constable is still in pursuit of them, and it is earnestly hoped by the citizens of this place that' they will be caught, and suffer the penalties that are due to all such people. Starlight.
