AN ADROIT THIEF. — On the forenoon of Saturday a large Newfoundland dog was observed to go into a shop in Glenco, and bring out a penny roll, which, after he had gone a little distance, he quietly ate, and then went into another shop and served himself, unchallenged, in the same manner. From the second shop he paid a visit to a third, with like success. After despatching the third roll, he sat down, and was seemingly soon lost in deep cogitation. Although his study for the present was evidently a "brown" one, it was but of short duration, for, in the course of two minutes or so, he was again on his legsk, and whisking his tail about with much satisfaction. He then went into a grocery establishment, and almost immediately appeared again in the street with a pound of fresh butter, nearly rolled up in a large cabbage blade. Like the rolls, the butter was soon disposed of, when, supposing that the had now made a sufficient dinner, he quietly shook his well-lined sides, and, again whisking his tail, stalked away with the most profound deliberation, leaving his victims to find out their loss when they could and blame any one they might think proper. — Perthshire Advertiser.
