sion of crime, and for eluding the pursuit OF
Justice. Their social haunts are to be found
In various and distant parts Of the city, and
are provided with numerous avenues through
which, at any signal Of danger, they can dis
appear and escape detection. Sutton was
one of the gang, and the manner Of his cap
ture was as follows:
The Police having failed in arresting him
as soon as was expected, the gentleman
whose store he had broken open, determined,
If it was possible thing, to have the villain
secured. He therefore repaired to the Five
Points, and after some inquiries, found a
watchman who had occupied that post for
several years, and who knew many Of the
Fortress" With him he entered into an ar
rangement to secure Sutton and the watch
man in his turn, entered into an arrangement
with one Of Sutton's associates, to point out
the place where he could be found. Having
obtained the requisite Information, the watch
man, accompanied by Mr.. s. Of the Sixth
Ward, proceeded to house in Laurens
street, the flrst and second stories Of which
were occupied by the pretended wife and sis

second story they found trap door, through
which they drew themselves up into garnet
containing several sleeping rooms. Their
next movement was through the scuttle OF
the roof-then upon the roof OF an adjoining
house-and down through the scNttle into
the garrett. Here they found another trap
door, through which they descended into the
second story. They were now hard by the
den in which Sutton was secreted and

king his pipe from hour to hour, and waiting

a lively member Of society. We do not des-

The scenery along the valley Of the Con-

Mount Holyoke last Saturday morning. The
