Thestor? of L. W. Jaukioa wag entered
t.v i.argUrs Soo-Uy uor log and a large
quantity of good* etoleo. Tbe burglate
turoed everything upside down and rcatiered
goode te all directions They were careful to

enoe c* tbe eiore indicates that they were n >t
hurried, not took ell tbe time they wanted to
pick out justsuob articles as they wanted
Tbvy took jewelry, bate, shoes, fans, toilet
soups, socki, Stockings, pants, tohacco, can
goods, etc , makiog their selections from ?I
perts of the store, oot even tbe sbow windows
eecaping bie ravages Thinge are so badly
mixed op that Mr. Jeokine cannot make a
reliable estimate of tbe amount or value of
the goode etoleo.
The horglare effected an aatraore by break
tag the glase treoeoas ovsr tbe back door and
knocking off the iron bare acroes tbe opening.
They placed two empty boiee against the
heck door aod climbed through tbe broken
transom. They first made ao onsucoessulf
attempt to eater throogb tbe traoeom over
tbe side door to the rear of the store but
after breekteg the glaea ceuld not break the
iroo bare They oeed o heavy iroo bar
to break tbe traoeom, knocking tbe iroo
gratiag loose from the door frame.
Ao attsmpt was also made to break into 1
F. B. Qrter'o store at the cide door opening
oo Republican street, hot It failed, although
the bolt at the bottom of the door was
broken and the inside hasp of the lovk wes
forced loose from the door. Tbe heavy bar
acroes the door held firm eod the borglere
Java op the attempt Tbc marke oo the

Rev. Dr. Brown's Sermon.
The sermon of the Rev. Dr. C. C.
Brown, of Sumter, before the South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute,
and our people generally, on Sunday
morniug last, was a remarkable one
and a very delightful one. Presi?
dent 1?\N. K. Bailey, of the Institute,
with his usual wonderful and telling
energy, had added, apparently, a
hundred ordinary chairs to the fixed
opera chairs, and had built up au
amphitheatre of benches in the gal?
lery. Consequently the whole vast
and brilliant audience was com?
fortably seated. Dr. Brown is notor?
iously un original man as well as a
learned one. He is also a supreme?
ly quick and witty man, and often
dangerously satirical. He is further?
more a splendid word-painter and an
accomplished dramatist, or rather
actor. This latter word may seem a
strange one to apply to a preacher of
the gospel, but it is really a pity that
more preachers of the gospel have
not the gift. When Dr. Brown
painted the picture of old John the
Baptist, bare and ragged, "with a
leather girdle about his masterful
loins," in the magnificent and lux?
urious audience hall of the palace of
Macheiras, what harm was there
that he acted the scene as well as
painted it in words? For really he
was aware that he was acting. And
so whsil Salome took the ( latter
with John's head on it to her mother,
Herodias. And so when the man
who hud been bed-ridden for forty
odd years took Satan by the hand
and led him lo Calvary and
pointed out to him Jesus hanging on
the cross. Dr. Brown's text was the
