THIEVES BID FOR. VALUABLES. Ckmktery thieves have been at work .it Lourtles, of all places in the world. The vault of the Radziwill family, in the grounds of the Blue Nuns Convent, ha? been broken into, ami an attempt made to get at the body of Princess Raclawill. who was reported to have been buried with valuable rings upon her fingers and a costly neeklare round her throat. The marble entrance to the vault was removed without much difficulty apparently, despite its weight, and the beautifully sculptured oak coffin was easily broken open. The leaden shell resisted all attempts to wrench it open, and, claylight coming on probably, the vampires decamped, leaving behind them their pickaxes, a coil of rope, and a dark lantpril.
