Residence Robbed.

Wednesday last the residence of Mr. Jacob Deibert, about two miles east of Canton, was entered by tramps and three suits of new clothing, a set of shirt studs, about three dollars in money, and a fine Workman pin taken. The family was away from home, Mr. Deibert being at work some distance from the house. An entrance was effected by breaking a window pane and removing the window fastening. One of the tramps left his old worn out boots behind, and substituted a pair of new ones therefor. Three suspicious parties boarded the evening train, going west, at Rawalt Station, and it is supposed they were the guilty ones.
