agh dwelling houses were entered, or attempted to be
entered, N Providence 1t Is believed in that place that

be treated to another metal, viz cold lead The ex
pertinent Of that kind which was tried on Wednesday
night, at Gen. Carpenters seems to have put check
to the operations in that city.
Some time since, when there was a similar gang
owing about this city, considerable number of our
citizens armed themselves, with an avowed determine
ton, if they discovered burglar in their houses 10
shoot him down. The knowledge of this fact probably
frightened them away, house was entered
after this fact became generally knowa.
