We hear from Salem, in New-Jersey, that on the night of the 12th inst. a person who had undertaken to officiate as a school master near that place, and was to have opened his school the next day, as a specimen of his learning and ability, broke open the store of Messrs. Test and Johnston, and stole from thence about 100l. in cash. This captital performace being discovered, he was conducted to proper lodgings, and will receive his trial at the next assizes, when no doubt his merit will be properly considered. This may serve as a caution against admitting persons to form the morals of our youth, without having a true knowledge of their principals and character.
