The list of officers elected is not published, because most of them have already...

Three years ago a man was caught in the act of robbing a room in Matthews, and it happens that his term in the House of Correction has but just expired; moreover, he was seen in the Square on Monday evening. There may be no connection between these events, but it would be well for those whose rooms are easily entered to take some precaution.
