GARDEN THIEVES.

(To Tup Emion Stratfoihi Post.] Sir.,—l l wonder if many in Stratford have suffered as T have this summer. First, presumably children helped themselves to raspberries; 2nd, cleaned out,all the English gooseberries and currants that were ripening under birdproof netting; 3rd, took most of the cranberries; 4th, took the Cape gooseberries. And within the last fortnight have taken the following vegetables, viz., scarlet runner beans, garden carrots, -ami .cabbages*. . It seems to.mo that' the persons who picked the beans must he fairly tall, and that children would not-steal vegetables except for the purpose of selling them, or for their parchts to cook, and it almost seems as ilea dishonest family hv.es somewhere.’ which is not a pleasant tiling to think of.—l am. etc., G.
