HEROIC CONDUCT OF A FEMALE About
L O'Clock Sunday night, the house of Mrs. abb
gail Shepherd, on Centre, near Pond street, Ja-
uaca Plain, was entered by tall, stout built
man, by means of breaking pane of glass and
removing the fastening to window. The only
occupants of tie house were Mrs. Shepherd
(who is totally blind,) and her daughter, maid
EN- lady of about 55 years OF age. At the time of
the breakage, the two females had retired for the
night, but had not fallen asleep. The daughter
hearing the noise occasioned by breaking the
glass, arose, and partially dressing herself, light
ed lamp, and went into the kitchen, where she
discovered the rascal standing up, with burn
ing match at his feet. She instantly demanded
why he was there' to which he replied, by ask
ing if this was another PERSONS house This
was answered by the lady saying, ..no, and you
know it is MT" She then seized him by the col.
lar, and crying for assistance, dragged the fellow
by main strength into the entry. While the
struggle was going on, the mother, notwithstan-
ding her being blind, inflicted upon him several
blows with stick.
The cries of the daughter were heard at the
distance OF half mile, and it was not until she
had been badly bruised and beaten that she re
linquished her hold, when the fellow leaped
through window, carrying away the sash, ana
made his escape In his haste to clear himself,
he lett his cap on the premises. Some OF the
neighbors soon arrived, but not in season to Sc.
