Sometime between midnight and daylight on Sunday last, October 21st, the residence of D. ARMSTRONG, on East Main street, was entered by burglars who carried off a valuable gold watch and over $100 in money. Mr. ARMSTRONG was intending to go West on Monday morning, and provided himself with money for his expenses and placed it in the pockets of his clothing. Saturday night he hung the suit containing the money and his valuable watch on the back of a chair in his room. Sunday morning the hired girl found the suit on the veranda with the pockets empty. Neither Mr. or Mrs. ARMSTRONG was aroused by the work of the burglars. Mr. ARMSTRONG has offered a reward of $300 for the capture of the thieves. The number of the watch stolen is 258,544.
