Successful robbery

--Robberies in this city have become so frequent of late that their announcement scarcely excites any surprise in the mind of the reader. Hardly a night passes by but some one or more are committed. On Saturday night last, between the hours of one and two o'clock, the store and eating house of Mrs. Margaret Kell, situated on Leigh street, near Brook Avenue, was forcibly entered and robbed of one box of tobacco, valued at $220, one whole and one-half keg of lard worth $450, two half boxes of candles of the value of $300, one jar of black pepper, and $230 in Confederate money. Officer Seal was yesterday put upon the track of some suspicious parties, but as yet has not succeeded in identifying them with the robbery.
