BALTIMORE, APRIL 8.
OnTuefday night laft;abogt ii o'clock
an attempt was made to rob the Rare of
Mr. Berry, in this town, by fomeper
fons unknown, they knocked at the Ifoor,
and requeued leave to light a candle ; a
young lad about 12 years old, was in the
store, who desired them to go away ; but
they refilled, upon which he discharged
a pistol at the door but the thieves per-,
lifted in entering, when the lad went to
the door, and double locked it, at the
fame time. putting' the bar across : The
thieves ffill remained, and told him to
fire away, for they would come in. He
_thep went up flairs, in order to fire at
them out of the windows—but they were
screwed down ; he then went into the
garret, but could not fee them from..the
window on account of the roof, but fired
the pistol, and called " Thieves." This
. alarmed some of the neighbours, when
the thieves went off. Too much credit
cannot be given to this young hero, for
his spirit and great precaution in Secur
ing the door. It is supposed the thieves
knew that this lad was the only person
in the store, and, if the door had been
Opened, intended to have secured him,
until they had committed the robbery.

#' It has often happened in Greece, and

into a worse and more ignominious slave.-

offered for monarchy ; bat when we cast

how every part understands its own af

that the fcen^ of cruelty which took place

tirely confirmed by fire—and still more
melancholy to relate : two of his children
perifh^d in the flames—one of them a
daughter of betwen 7 and 8 years of age,'
the other an infant of 6 or 7 months.-^--
When the family, were awakened, the
flames had already took fach full and com
plete poffeffijn of the building, as to allow
not a moment for consideration—Mrs.
Benton therefore gave the infant in her
arms, to her little daughter, telling her
to run with it put of the house, while (he
went in search of her other child, and
catching it up immediately followed —
Mr. Benton was by this time out of the
house, but so much confafed as to only
have taken up his bed. initead of looking
for his children —it was now alas! but
too late, discovered that their little daugh
ter with the infant, were still in the house
—andtheir cries and fArieks soon sum

who rufhed^isto the flames, regardleL of
the danger, and but for his wife's catch

periled, as the upper part of the house
was then falling in.

it appears to have, as far as can yet be

mentioning the importance of maintain

the most explicit terms, the conduct of
the to^p which had been guilty of the
egregious Cupidity and folly of employ

whole ch ara&er had before been notori-
Qufly infamous, and who has, since been
convicted of crimes which would dishonor

An ingenious gentleman who owed a
