The Chronicle gives n long ac
count of the robbery of Mr. John
Farrior's jewelry store at Charlotte
last Thursday uight by professional
cracksmen. The safe was blown
open and £4,500 worth of diamond*
and watches were stolen. There
were eighty line gold watches in the
n » «»
lot. The robbery was not discovered
until the next morning, aud there is
not the slightest clue to the perpe
trators Mr. Farrior's store is neai
the public square, end about sixty
feet of the electric light. These
burglaries are getting alarmingly fre
quent, and should admonish every
man to sleep with his shot-gun in
reach.
