Thieves About On Saturday night, July 27th, says a correspondent, some person
or persons visited the premises of Mr. Irwin PIKE, of East Nantmeal, and took
from his barn, four or five bags of corn that Mr. P. had measured ready to take
to market.
On Saturday night, Aug. 3d, some parties entered the spring house of Mr. Henry
WHITESIDES, of East Nantmeal, and helped themselves to some of the eatables that
were in it. Whoever it was, they acted with some show of decency, as they
disturbed nothing except what they ate, with the exception of the lock, which
was carried off.

Moved From Its Foundation The foundation of the warehouse belonging to Seymour
WILLIAMSON, at Caln station, on the Pennsylvania railroad; being greatly
decayed, the rain storm of last week caused it to give way, and the building was
precipitated about four feet, into the pike. One person was in the house at the
time, but was not injured. The building sustained considerable damage by its
sudden removal, but the occupants are enabled to continue their business in it.

A Bold Robbery A correspondent says that HALDEMAN'S mill, in East Coventry,
Chester county, Penna., now in possession of Benjamin and Joseph HALDEMAN, was
entered on Tuesday, Aug. 6th, and $265.00 taken from the money drawer. The two
brothers, B. & J. HALDEMAN, each had a key to the desk, but one of them lost his
key a few weeks since, and in order that either of them could unlock the drawer
in the others absence, they prepared a place for the key. They do not know
whether someone found the lost key, or knew where they kept the other. One of
the firm was in and about the mill during the whole day. At noon the money was
in the desk, and in the evening the pocket book that contained the money, was
left in the drawer with 40 cents, but $265 was missing. The desk was locked and
the key in its proper place. Stealing and robbing has become a good business in
this part of the county.
