Robbery.

--On Thursday morning, Mr. Samuel Drinkard, who had just arrived in the city on the Danville train, left at the depot here a box containing upwards of five thousand dollars' worth of country produce, while he proceeded to the house of a relative in the upper end of the city to get his breakfast. When he returned to the depot, although he had not been absent more than two hours, the box and contents were gone. Upon inquiry, he ascertained that, soon after he left the train, the box was called for by some unknown person, who represented that he had been authorized by Mr. Drinkard to take it away. No such authority had been given, nor has anything been heard of the box since.
