London's store by boring holes with a large auger into the weather-boarding at tbe rear end, and finding that the inside ceiling was too thick to bore through, they went across the street and commenced operations on the back door of Mr. Poe's fetore. They made a hole in the door panel large enough to run an arm through, hop ing to be able to remove from its position the bar of wood which secures it, but for tunately tht y had not made the hole in the right place, and before they could bore an other they must have been frightened away by hearing some noise or some one ap proaching. This is the first attempt at burglary in our town that has been made v 0 - in several years, and we hope may be the last. Indeed the morals of our community are so good that it is not at all unusual for our citizens, on retiring at night, to leave airtheir doors and windows open, without the slightest fear of any burglar.

The Review savs that the com. mercial seaeon of 1877-78 has cer tainly been the poorest and most struggled through the dtficulties, of the year, and in spite of financial stagnation's!! shows an increase of business over previous and more prosperous yearp. , v' The News slys that a' noticeable thing here is the fact that several darkies are losing their black color and gradually paling. This is a ca rious phenomenon. It is said to be due to the fact of peculiarities of drinking water. The water of- the well in the yard of Mr. J. P. Prarie produces this effect, it is said. This may be true. It is certain that Ral eigh water will cause the leopard to change his spots and the Ethiopian his skiu if anything can produce ttiese effects. 0u the St h iast, at the residence ot the bride's lather, by' the Rev.
