AN OUTRAGE – One night last week, some boys got into the house of Senator Harlan by breaking a pane of glass, and had their fill of peaches, jellies and preserves. It is supposed they took some things away with them, but it is not certainly known. There are some boys in this town that are nuisances, and as such should be abated.
