Safe Blowing at New Sharon. —New Sharon was visited Saturday night hv burglars,evidently profession als, and three safes drilled into and blown open with powder. At Wat land A Oattpll’s the outside door of the safe was blown off. but only A3O in money secured. W. P. Hawkins* lumlier office was entered, the safe, lielongingto Mat tison A Hitdw. opened, and the books and }»apers scattered shout, hut no money found. Kramer A Hammond met with the most serious hiss. A large lot of fine dress silks, valued at one fine leather valise, and *8 in cash that was in the till were taken. The burglar proof chest iu this safe was not dis turbed, and saved to the firm the STOO in gold it contained. In each place there seems to have lieen a hurried, but thorough, search, and goods were scat tered promiscuously about the rooms. Theofiicers were promptly notified, and ste|« taken to get upon track of the per petratois. whose arrest we hope soon to lie able to chronicle. A reWWd of $250 is offered, we understand, for the arrest of the burglars.

This cannot lie avoided, and if under stood, would lie endured with a better grace. At ten o'clock the largest mail of the day is received and during its distribution the K. A D. mail ftom I Kith north and south arrive, and it is a hard hour's work for four persons from ten to eleven o’clock, to distrib nte these three mails, all arriving as they do, within an hour. W’e mention this fact largely out of charity for the next postmaster,—whoever he may be. Sunday hours from 9:30 to 10JO A. M. P. h.

The generality of farmers are about ready to Bow tuelr corn through for the last time. They tve been making good time tor the last few days. Corn is growing rapidly. About next week the sound of the sickle will be beard in our rye fields. The other evening, last Thursday we think, about 11 o'elock at night, the wheat buhrs at the mill began to mu rather slowly, and Mr. Swish er the miller, shut down for the night In the morning, Mr. Braden began to make an exami nation of the water wheel, and soon called to Mr. S. to come to him. for he thought he bad found a dead man lodged in the wheel, but la * estivation proved it to be a catfish. which weighed T 7 pounds, the largest ever known to have I teen caught in North Skunk. Fanners are l>rginning to feel rather tired of selling cream at ten cents per inch If a better figure don't present Itself soon, we fear that It is going to direct the farmer’s attention to some more Hicrative way of disposing of his surplus cream.
