several houses have been entered while the Inhabitants were asleep, and on both occa sions the burglar has been disturbed in his doprodations, but has been fortunate in making his escape. Circurastances point to the belief that the burglaries have on both occasions been committed by the same man, and it is pretty evident that he is well acquainted with the arrangement of the houses, and was or is probably em-
