MrDay, statipnmaster, and ?is -tali', left tne oifice on Saturdav ;ngi\t at 11-30 o’clock, and when the )h;e-' was \ isAed yesterday morumg it was at once scon th t a thief r-r theves had li«-en ut work. , , . The outer door o.' the ollice had evidently been prized open bv moans a crowbar belonging to the lie!.cay •- partnient, and the same wenpin baa apparently been used to force the cash drawer. The mly thing noiuv.d to be missing was a sum of 50s \n silver iioin this drawer, and which was chiefly m shillings, sixpences, and threepenny pieces. A safe which stood in the oflice and which contained some money and valuables boro no appearance of having, been tampered with in any way, and this fact is taken as evidence that tlie burglary is the work of an amateur, as in the isolated position of the station with no houses in the immediate vicinity, there is little likelihood of tileintruder having been disturbed at liis The affair was immediately reported to the police, who are at present making investigations. »
