We hear from Salem, in New Jersey, that on the night of the 12th instant a person who had undertaken to officiate as a schoolmaster near that place, and was to have opened his school the next day, as a specimen of his learning and ability, broke open the store of Messrs. Test and Johnston, and stole from thence about £30 in cash. This capital performance being discovered, he was conducted to proper lodgings, and will receive his trial at the next assizes, when no doubt his merit will be properly considered. This may serve as a caution against admitting persons to form the morals of our youth, without having a true knowledge of their principles and character.
