On returning to his store from break fast on last Monday morning, Mr Otto Salinger discovered that $20 in money had been extracted from a cigar box. He kept the fact quiet, hoping that he might get some clue to the thief. On Friday roam ing he again made the discovery that $50 more had been taken from a box in his store, together with about twelve mouth organs, eight or ten pounds of candy and numerous other email articles, An effort was then made ia earnest to ascertain who the burglars were. Upon 4 inq airy it was found that Frank and Charlie Spake, the former abous fifteen and the latter about twelve, had been seen around the store early in the morning. Other suspicions circumstances being learned, the boys were arrested, end Saturday afternoon were examined before George Humphrey, Esq., at the Court House. On the exam ination evidence was introduced to prove that oae of the boys ha d a key that fit the front door of Salinger's store, that they bought twelve packages of baking powder at 80 cents a package of Mr Fox, in order to got a prss, ale several other article, bought a lamp for Harry Beyles at hie request, and gave him a Mexican dollar, with which he purchased some lard, and that ia Mr Boyles' shoe shop they count ed out twenty-two dollar? in money. The defense gave testimony to account for the money ; but all the circumstances being suspicious the justice held the pris oners to await the action of the Grand Jury in S40 bail each, which was prompt ly deposited by the father of the boys. The ease is an unsavory one, one deserv ing of complete investigation. Many think that if ths boys did have a hand in it there were older heads at the bottom of the affair, which of course at this stage is Speculation.

Christmas eve. wa noticeable on account of some very neatly arrang ed trees at the M. E., Evangelical, Presbyterian, Congregational and U P Cb arches, attracting attention more on account of their small ness and good ar rangement than their else. The a; tea dance was not large at any of the churches, and the presents were mostly for the ycunger people and not of a costly nature, which expressed toe true spirit of the Christmas tree. The dsy for making Christmas trees instruments for the display of valuable and costly presents baa gone In Albany, a mat ter we are to be congratulated on. The Baptist Church held its tree festival on Christmas day.beginning their exercises at 2:30. They were well conducted and the attendance was good.

Beginsicg at the bottom, the plans propose two large rooms complete ly separate, one to be a play room fcr boys and the other fcr girls, on the opposite sides of the building. Running across the build ing is a hall, containing a large fninace for heating the several rooms, sad private rooms fcr the students, 8)a the first floor proper is a large ball, scoot 90 feet by 79, with i trance st both cods, ass two sets of stairs leading to the second floor from different directions. Oe each side ef the ball are two sehool rooms, four in all, each 34x97 feet. The second floor is nearly similar to the first, except that s small recitation room can be placed, if desired, aft each end of the halt. and betwees the rooms oa one aide folding doors ate arranged so as tc make one large eommodious hall or chapel when needed.

It will meet a "Ion felt want," and we predict will prove a paying affair in the hands of its owner. According to the medelc it will be 88 feet long, 7 feet wide, and will draw 18 inches of water. It will bars two cabins so arranged that they can be made open in good weather, sad will be run by a screw propeller, Tnc cabins will be handsomely furnished and the whole boat will hold about thirty passengers comfortably.

Walking along is front of her was one o the rarest animals of the qaadrsped kin d. Thia animal kept right in the track refusing to turn to tbc right or left, but conducted himself as though he were "cock o' the walk," and we really believe be was, as the yonng lady wae compelled to trudge her way along behind the brute, while the blushes which clouded her cheek told how severely her modesty was stocked.
