There was .1 light in Mrs. Gastjuoine's room all night, and site was await? at 'J a.m. and again at 4 n.ui., but heard nothing unusual, this being probably on account of tlio fact that tlie burglar confined his. operations to tho downstairs portion of the house. Articles missing include two pairs of boots and a collection of fruit and tabla knives and forks, also a small sum of money. Entrance to the residence of Messrs.
