Robbery in the Daytime. --About 3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the small brick office tenement, on Broad street, second door east of Twelfth, occupied by Dr. Foot and Mr. Duncan, formerly residents of Kentucky, was entered and robbed of a large lot of groceries and two trunks, containing wearing apparel and jewelry, amounting in value to upwards of six thousand dollars.
