The two brothers, Sam and John Greenaway while on their way home from the wake of the late Mr. Hare, and while passinf; through the village, saw a light in the post-office department of Carson Price's store. It struck them that it was a burglar, and John kept watch while Sam hastened to arouse some of the citizens. He kicked hard at Hugh Mercer's store but got no response other than that from another neighbor who was awakened, and thinking it vras a thief hissed the dogs on him, and he had like to be eaten aUve by the ferocious animal he however succeeded in bring- ing up reinforcements, but in the mean- time John kept a close watch on the mysterious mechanic, who was looking over letters, tearing some open, and occasionally going to the front window to see if his accompUces were keeping watch. It is thought that he took John for his chruu in the dark, and felt quite secure, howeyer when he saw a light on the street he made himself scarce inside but on coming out was arrested by Sam Greenaway assisted by his brother John and others. The arrest was certainly bold and clever. The thief was of course armed to teeth, while the captors had never a deadly weapon. The re- cruits were becoming numerous by this time and the burglar supposing them well armed offered yery little resistance. One hakl a handspike, which the prison- er took for a gun; another had a revolver but its shooting days are oyer, so that the crowd were utterly defenceless as far as shooting irons were concerned. It is reported that a, reward of #500 is offered for a man answering bis descrip- tion, from across the Unes. We are also informed that there is likely to be other arrests in connection with the above burglary.
