THE subscriber returning from

the 10Th inst. near the Hanging Rock /,
on the North Western Turnpike Road,
about two miles below the Tavern of
Col. Charles Blue, and after knocking
me off my horse and one holding me
by the throat, they succeeded in taking
from me my pocket book containing

inclined TO the opinion that they must
have been the same persons who we're
seen passing house by female, about
half mile from the place where this
healish deed was committed, fifteen or
twenty minutes prior to my passing.
She describes the dress of these two
individuals as having on--one Blue
Frock Coat and pantaloons, and the
other Blue Close-bodied Coat and
pantaloons. The same individuals
were noticed by others residing below
along the turnpike road during that
day, and concur in the opinion as to
dress as described-and from inquiry,
l have not been able 10 hear of any
such men having passed above where
this truly unfcrtunale-yet fendish
act, was perpetrated. am therefore
inclined to the opinion that those per-
sons were the robbers. One of them,
| understand, carried small bundle
Their weapons were green chestnut
clubs, as they were found on the next
morning at the place. The above re-
ward will be given fer the apprehension
ofthe villains, as also, suitable CONF
l-ansalion for recovery of the money,
or any portion oft.

An Elephant in Arch street.-One

An Elephant in arch street.-One
day last week, the good people Of
Arch street were called 10 admire q

rah,' said the boys, and they threw
down hoop 81 mar bles TO see the stran-
ger. 'Biess me,s said the old ladies,
swhaf is all this = and all ran TO the
windows end doors to see the wonder.
A noble eiephaat Yves coming down
the street, ss digni6ed as the Grand
Nlogul, proceeded by au officer with a
pole, and followed by an attendan. with
spear. The procession moved on
/, ward amid the admiration of the ihron-
ged street, and the "half.reasoning"
animal turned hither and thithes his
proboscis 10 signify his approval.-!
Those who occupied The side walk
moved respectfully away. At the corr
ner Of Arch and Fourth street, against
the wall OF the Friends' burying
ground, woman has long kept la
Bile for the sale Of apples, pears, pep
PERMITS and other dainiies. She saw
the approach and fled, leaving her
stock in trade.
When the elephant came 10 the Ia
bic, he stopped short, turned his eye
upon the goodies, picked up an apple,
mumbled- chestnut, and grunied
little az the blows which his attendants
showered upon his side. The old la
dy watched the operation with consid-
cradle anxiety. At length the ele-
plant lhrus. his trunk into basket
under the table, where the poor woman
had placed recent large purchase OF
excellent butter pears. The good wo-
man groaned audibly, and the man
piled his spear TO the animals haun-
ches. The beast brought GU, one of
the pears with his trunk, and put it in
10 his mouth, and evinced disposition
10 go on, but no sooner had he tasted
the delicious, juicy fruit, then he bra
ced back his feet again, thrust bis trunk
into the basket, and again swallowed
pear. The man with his stick pound
ed, he with the spear goaded, and
the poor woman cried aloud but
the elephant paid no heed to blows
nor remonstIance, but continued his
pleasing operation until every pear
was transported TO his stomach and
then he walked away. The owner
subsequently sent the woman come mo.
ney as much as he thought the pears
cost, though, he did not know how
good they we're Phil. .. S. Gaz.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
Washington mirror,
SECOND Volume.

The subscriber having purchased
the WAsHiNGToN MIRROR from its for
mer proprietor, will in future be lis
conductor.
The general plan Of the MIRROR is,
we believe, satisfactory to all our sub
scribers-a fording a comprehensive
view of city affairs in manner unat.
tempted by any other paper. Tbs
plan will be strictly adhered 10. Gu.
leading object being ITO lay hold of
those local subjects and occurrences
soAich haze not been noticed in the
daily papers," including Police Re-
ports, and all such matter as is of gen
eral interest, we have engaged the
valuable services of Mr.. WILLIAM
THOMPSON as assistant editor, whose
spirited and unliring exerions to estab.
lish this paper have been SO eminently
successful.
We propose 10 furnish brief alb.
stracts of all judicial decisions which
shall more particularly interest the CT
tizens Of this District. Also, brief
but comprehensive summary OF Con-
gressional proceedings.
With determination of giving as
much reading matter as possible. WE
SHALL SHORTLY EXTEND THE SIZE OF
THE PAPER TO AN IMPERIAL SHEET,
without increasing its price. This will
accommodate our advertising custo.
mers, and, instead of encroaching on
the rights of subscribers, will afford
them nearly twice as much interesting
matter.
We shall exert our best endeavors
to elevate the literary character of the
MIRROR. This can only be done by
the cooperation Of those minds which
are able and willing to aid in the ad-
vancement oflet,ers. We cannot, how
ever, be so unjust to our subscribers
as to make the MIRROR an arena for
the unskilful, since far more desirable,
it must be allowed, would be judi,
cious selections than mediocre origi-
naity.
We believe that the prospects Of
Washington demand such a paper as
we intend to publish. She is already
closely allied, by her railroad, to a
great and hourishing city, and is .des-
tined to be her compeer, rather than
rival, in exchanging the products ofthe
country by means Of her s,upendous
canal, she is about 10 be thrown, as it
were, into the centre Of an immense
territory, where the resources of indus.
Try defy the reach of imagination, and
where an mount of capital mast soon
be created, which will astonish the
most sanguine economist. Washing
ton and Baltimore, as one mighty
heart, must receive and return the cur.
rent which will give vitality TO the
commerce oftwenty millions of men.
Such, in fact, are our advantages, tina,
prosperity must come in spite of the
causes which conspire to Cypress US ;
but a sense Of duty, carried out into
action, will relieve our embarrass :
ments, and produce results Of incalcu-
Bile magnitude.
We propose, then, TO supply apaper
in some degree adapted TO the wants OF
an important community a literary
and miscellaneous family paper-a
einurnal nf cnrrent litoratura-a renoci
tory of commercial intelligence. And
we appeal 10 an enlightened and libe-
raj conmunityto sustain us in our nn :
dertaking.
Terms Of the paper-two dollars,
payable in all cases semi annually in
advaace.

With cad and solemn sound!
Sons Of Adam once in Eden,
Bligbted v hen like US you fell,
Hear the lecture we are reading,
IT'S alas the Truth We tell.
'vIReiEs much, toe much presuming,
10 your boasted white and red.
View US late in beauty blooming,
Numbered now among the dead.
"GRpING NleERs! nightly waking,
See the end Of all your care,
Fled on wings Of our own making,
We have left our owners bare.
ssoNs OF HoSoR! fed on praises
Flustering high on fancied worth.
Lo. the fckle cir that raises,
Brings us downto parent earth.
sLEAnSED sorHs! in systems jaded,
Who for new ones daily call.
Cease at length. by us persuaded,
Every leaf must have fall:
"YouTIss tho yet no loeses grieve you
Gay in health and manly grace,
Let no cloudless skies deceive you
Summer gives TO autumn place.
"VENERABLE SIREs! grown hoary,
Hither torn th' unwilling eyes
Think, amid your falling glory.
Autumn tells winter nigh.
sYearly. in our course retiring.
Messengers of shortest stay,
Thus We preach this truth unerring,
Heay'n and earth shall pass away.
"On the TREE OF LIFE eternal
MAN. let all thy hopes be stayed,
Which alone. forever vernal,
Bears leaf that ne'er shall fade."
