VSSQ O St XylJVCOIylV, iVolD, UNSCRUPULOUS THIEVES. Steal Gold, Silver ttiul Jutvels J'ruiu m Hucrctl Altur. A most audacious theft has just been committed at the cathedral of Peru gia. The guard was going his rounds about 4 o'clock in the morning, when he perceived a door opening Into ..i0 cloisters was open. He at once in formed the authorities, who found that several objects of great value were missing, says the Boston Herald. The glass over an image of the virgin had been broken and the diamond coronet stolen. This was n present from tho ladies of Perugia forty-three years ugo. The thieves also took away all the "vows," those articles given to the Madonna or some saint by the faith ful, for some favor received, often legs, arms, hearts, eyes, this meaning that the giver had recovered the use of the same by the saint's intercession. They had all been removed, as, being of precious metal, they were of consider able value. From another virgin they took a silver crown, and in order to get a ruby ring had broken a finger. It 1b hoped these "thieves" wi'.Wiot put these valuables to any base use, but will sell them for the needful money with which to buy bread for the starv ing people of Italy. The "removal" of these valuables has caused & great hubbub in Perugia, where every effort is now being made to recover thorn, but the result is doubtful.
