Mr. Pollard and family retired to rest about eleven o'clock on Monday night, and heard nothing beyond a passing knock at the door, till they were knocked up at twenty minutes past six o'clock in the morning. He then found the window open and a quantity of goods stolen from it. He had neglected to put the bolt on the window-shutter when closing it the night before, and the thief r thieves had opened the shutter, broken a square in front of the hasp that fastened the window, and thus effected an entrance.
