--Jonathan W. Staples's grocery and feed store, at the upper end of Brooke avenue, was broken into on Thursday night last and robbed of eighteen hundred dollars' worth of fresh beef, pork, lard, &c. Subsequently a negro slave was arrested on suspicion and taken before a county justice; but the evidence being insufficient to convict him, he was discharged.
