Since the investigation Of the robbery in
this town has been closed. we understand that
information has been received that the kew
used in unlocking the bank vault, was made
in Boston. by Manley's request. who told the
blacksmith that he had a lock which wanted

was taken. All were impressed with deep
sense ofthe importance it waste the community
generally as well to the stockholders, that the
robbery should be detected and the money recov-
cred. The greatest zeal and activity was mani
tested by all classes on the occasion.-We thank
those publishers Of Newspapers who gave pnbli-

rendering it very difficult for the thieves to have
