Burglary.-On Thursday night the bottling establishment of Mr. James Russell, on Mercer street, near Light, was entered by burglars and robbed of a box of cigars, fifty cents and several bottles of ale and porter.  The entrance was effected by forcing a rear window.  The desk was broken open but there was nothing of value in it.  On the slate the following note was left: "Mr. Russell i had a fine drink last nite and a few cents to get me more i will give you another call in about a week, Edge tool captain, I will treat you again."
