Entrance ‘was gained through a window measuring 10x20 inches in the rear of the store, this: fact making it seem likely that the break was made by boys who could squeeze through the small space. More evidence ihat the break was the work of amateurs who were no doubt frightened while at work was shown by the failure to take aoy of the monev that lay in one of the show cases and-in the cash drawer. The safe showed signs of tampering with, marks of some sharp instrument being noticeable on the door. The police were notified of the break and started an in- vestigation that resuited in Officer Me- Lean arresting two boys, 13 and 14 years of age. who weresaken in us suspicious characters. At the police station it was found that they had 18 fountain pens Wnd two packs of cards, proving they knew something of the break. They will appear before the police court this (Mon- day) morning to answer charges of lLreaking and entering. Mr. Swecney stated Saturday morning that this break was tie first he had experienced in the 34 Jears he had been in business.

Oriole arrived in the borough last week, after wintering in Mexico and South America. There are more than forty ‘specles of this bird, all more or less brightly dressed in orange, vellow and black, but not one is more beautiful than the Baltimore Oriole. If{ Mr: Oriole is seen today in ene of the| borough's pink budded apple trees, one; will have reason to believe that he is not unaware of his own charms; indeed, one will almost suspect him of intention- ally displaying them. When next fall one sees at the tip end of some elm or-apple tree branch the mest one failed to find in the summer, one will note the handiwork of Mrs. Oriole as a nest- builder. The man of the house is quite interested in its intricate manufacture but he does little to assist. In a few op the collections of birds' eggs to be found in the borough, mow owned by gray haired men, is to be scen the unusually handsome eggs of the Baltimore oriole. Probably no nest of native bird is more difiicult to come at than that of the ori- ole. It will be at the extreme tip of o limb anywhere from 23 to 45 feet from the ground.

It is expected that the boat will be back on the line the coming season. Although the prospects are not bright for a pay- ing season, this is not because there will not be as many cottagers as usual at the Hill, for as @ matter of fact ev- ery cottage is to be ocoupled. It is be- cause the express business has been taken from the boat, deliveries are made by motor trucks direct from West- erly, and the trolley line takes aw: nearly all the traffic in the passenger line formerly cared for by the steamer.
