Waterman Angle, of the Middle District, lying
in the street in quite a helpless condition. He
stated that he had been robbed of 5000, and a
lever watch, but could not tell by whom. At
his request he was taken to Barnum's Hotel,
where he was stopping. We have since learn
ed that he had been to the Circus, where he
fell in with some of "the boys" and after get
ting quite Sociable, was invited by them to take
Il walk. After walking a short distance, they
stopped at house where liquor and cards were
introduced. Mr.. Littleiohn played few
hands, but finding that he was not in condi-
ton to cope with his adversaries, he concluded
to leave and go to the Hotel He had scarce
ly left the house before he received blow over
the left eye with bludgeon, which felled him
senseless to the ground While in this cond-
ton he was robbed of his money and watch.

side to take; some cried 20 it Bill, another give
it 10 him Bob, until finally the gentleman who
handled the weapon so handsomely gave out,
when by one of those admirable manouvres,
for which military men are so celebrated, the
cowhided got possession OF the weapon, and,
in his turn, laid it on quite thick and heavy
The lockers on, for fear that if, like the famous
! Kilkenny cats, they were left to continue the
encounter much longer, nothing but small
portion of their delicate bodies would be left,
very considerably, we think, parted them
! Both came off second best. The cause, we
believe, was-women and wine.
