Monday morniug, probably between one and two o'clook, Stafford's merchant tailoring establishment was robbed of some Scotch imported goods which were marked last Saturday, some valuable lining, a suit of clothes, a coat belonging to Edward Guicon, a pair of tailor's shears, and a hand-sled - in all amounting to about $650. It is generally supposed that only one person was engaged in it. He took out two panes of glass in the rear window, crawled in and opened the door, which he impolitely left wide open in leaving. The visitor pried the cash drawer open, but found nothin; and played with the combination of the safe, probably desiring to know its mysteries. The hand-sled he evidently U3ed in drawing away his ill-gotten wealth, and the shears were probably taken to use in cutting the cloth in desirable lots for selling. Oq Monday the sheriff and city marshal examined the premisescarefully. The sled was returned to Mr. Stafford Monday evening. It had been left on the stoop of a Washington-st. residence, and the youngster ot' the house had a good time with it all day Monday.
