Tax Boren TReasure.—A few days since the Hera.p published an account of the alleged robbery from the house of Benjamin Halladay, No, 233 Fifth avenue. The amount of property taken was estimated at over $2,000, principally silver ware and gold coim. The story goes that Mr. Halladay haa left his house and the property contained therein in cherge of two men named Hepry Wood and Thomas Stewart. On his return he found resented by Messra Raicliffand Edwarde, opposed to the bowling of A.

Mr. Earnshaw looked like business, as he played very judiciously ; but he, like Norley, got bowled just as he was ‘getting his hand in.”? Mr. Gibbes, the hope of St. George’s, came to the wicket full of play and determination, but the bowling was too straight for him to exercise his strength as a free hitte: le made a fine cut for 2, and two drives sball be void, except by exprees consent of each stock that the property was missing, and he caused @ amount and a few sil when he was bolder thereof. the arrest of both on charge of theft.
