THE RECENT BURGLARIES

For three or four years past the Merchants Millers, Grocers, &c. &c., of this vicinity have frequently suffered annoyance and loss from having their stores, mills, and groceries burglariously entered, goods and money taken therefrom, without being able to learn the real depredator. As time passed on however, these housebreakings became more frequent and bold, until at last the wily thief, as he is always sure to, has run into the arms of justice.
William C. GRUMMON, of this place, a boy now about 19 years of age, who has served several years at the Printing business in different places — a share of the time in this office, and who is now in jail in Rochester awaiting his trial for breaking open a Clothing store and Post Office at Brockport a few weeks since, confessed himself the perpetrator of all, and more than was laid to his charge.

It appears from his own confession, that he commenced his career by making bills at the Grocery, and not being able to pay from his stipulated allowance, thought he would steal a little, just to keep matters straight, and be as liberal as other young men of his age in such places. From this, he broke open one and then another of the Grist mills where he knew money was kept, and took from ten to twenty dollars. Then he devised and carried out the plan of robbing Mitchell & Royce's store, in this place of some hundred dollars worth of goods. He soon after quit printing, and took to peddling trinkets and fancy articles with hand trunks. Seven trips were made with these trunks, during which it is supposed he drew his supplies from such places as opportunities offered. About a year ago he commenced work at his trade again in this office, where his quiet manner and unobstreutations bearing as usual secured for him the respect and confidence of his employer and office mates.

Toward the close of his engagement here his conduct was not altogether without suspicion. He went to Troy in the early part of the summer, where he followed his trade for a short time. From Troy he sent home considerable amount of money. The office where he was employed was robbed of $60 during his stay there. Soon the Post Office at Brockport was entered and robbed, and a Clothing Store about the same time was broken into and a large amount of clothing taken which was afterwards found in a barn in this village. He then stole a horse and proceeded to Le Roy, pursued by the Constable, and the horse found under the mill shed of Solon HAWKINS, about twenty rods from his father's residence, but he made a hair breadth escape and was not heard from again for several weeks.

About three weeks ago the dry goods of J. DARLING, in this village, was broken open and many valuable goods carried away. This burglary remained a mystery until GRUMMOND was arrested in Rochester a few days after while entering the cars for an Eastern trip. He was conveyed to jail when he owned up that he was the boy who had committed all the robberies that had been charged upon him. He directed Mr. DARLING to a straw stack in Mr. SAVAGES yard, half a mile west of the village where a large share of the goods were found.

The inside of the stack presented a complete set of rooms where he had deposited his stolen treasure and where he had resorted for shelter when pursued. The aperture or entrance to the stack was admirably contrived to elude detection. He had provisions, candles, buffalo-robes, fire-arms and all the paraphernalia of a night robber, in his secluded den. Goods stolen two years ago were found there, which doubtless had been often shifted for safe keeping — Le Roy Gazette.

ANOTHER PIONEER CUT DOWN BY APOPLEXY

We are pained to announce the sudden death of another of our oldest citizens, by an apopiectic attack. W. W. MUMFORD, Esq., is no more.-- He was struck down on Friday afternoon while preparing to take tea with a friend, whither Mrs. M., had preceded him. He continued in an unconscious state, gradually sinking, till yesterday forenoon, which he expired — all remedies having proved totally unavailing. Mr. MUMFORD came here from Aurora, Cayuga Co., and has been resident of this place since 30th October, 1818, and has ever been considered one of our most worthy citizens. Both he and Mr. SCOVILLE, whose death we recently noticed, were spare men — such as it has been generally supposed were not likely to be cut down by this awful disease.

SAD ACCIDENT

Frederick RUSSEL, a young man residing about a mile east of this village, on the line of the railroad, was run over on the morning of the first of January 1st, while returning home and expired soon after.

FOUND DEAD

Duncan CARTUCHUE? of Pavilion, a Scotch farmer, who had been missing since Wednesday last, was found dead in a lot between this place and his own farm, on Monday. He was addicted to the use of intoxicating drinks, and it is supposed that while on his way to or from home, across lots, as he was in the habit of going to save distance, he was attacked with a fit of delirium tremors and perished with no one near to render him assistance. Duncan, as he was familiarly called, was a good farmer, and had accumulated property to the amount of four or five thousand dollars. He was about 40 or 45 year of age, and was never married - LeRoy Gazette.

LOCAL MATTERS

Melancholy Death - We learn that Mr. William PERRY, an old and highly esteemed resident of the town of Clarkson, in this county, was instantly killed on Monday last by the falling of a tree. He was engaged in splitting rails, when a small tree cut by another person, took a contrary direction in falling from that expected, and struck him on the head, inflicting a severe wound on the forehead, fracturing the skull, and producing instant death.

Mr. PERRY was about 65 years old, an excellent citizen and a kind neighbor. He leaves a wife and one son, (Dr. A. PERRY.) and a very large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn his sudden death. He was originally from Rhode Island, but has been many years a resident of Clarkson.

ANOTHER SAD ACCIDENT FROM A FALLING TREE

We yesterday announced the death of Mr. William PERRY, of Clarkson, from a wound open the head by a falling tree. The next day, a similar accident occurred in the same town, which will probably result in death. Mr. John BLODGETT, an old and highly respectable citizen, was struck on the head by the limb of a falling tree, which had been cut by his hired man, which badly fractured the skull, several pieces of which were removed. At the last accounts, he was lying insensible, and but little hopes were entertained of his recovery. Thus within twenty-four hours, have two of the oldest and most respectable citizens of Clarkson been stricken down, and in a very similar manner.

In the relation of husband and father at the head of a deeply afflicted widowed mother. He was thus suddenly ??? signed to an untimely grave. Too much cannot be said of his many virtues. His great aim and object constantly in view was to make all who sought his acquaintance perfectly happy. To his deeply afflicted mother, brother and sisters nothing that ???? could do for their mutual happiness was left undone. In his last sickness he was meek and lowly in heart, although borne down with severe bodily pains. He never complained, but would often admonish his mother, brother, sisters and friends not to weep for him, that soon all would be well. His faithful admonitions to his companions, to embrace the pro??ered salvation while ye??? was in their power so to do, were the fervent entreaties of a spirit which had tested the good things of the world to come and know their priceless value. Resignation marked the hours of his gradual decay, and his end was peace and hope.
