Coon SlGNs.-The Baton Rouge Advocate
has the following notice of the robbery of two
young gentlemen, members of the bar of that
city We think it is a good sign when we can
record the stealing Of money from a couple Of
young lawyers:
DARING RoBBERY.-Last night q 'sdaring
thief entered the law-ofiee Of our young
friend, $ s. Hall, while he and friend were
calmly reposing in the "arms Of Morpheus,
and relieved the pockets of those gentlemen OF
all the * loose change found therein. Such an
act demands the immediate attention of our po
lice authorities, il order to prevent like out
rage upon the stpeace and dignity Of the law
ana its administrators, The thief IN making
this haul, we doubt not, will ultimately find, by
dearly bought experience, that honesty Is the
| best policy.
| For fear, however, that the foregoing may in
duce large number Of the profession here
to flock to Baton Rouge, in hopes Of getting q
goodly number of dollars to be flched from
them, we quote what the Comet has to say upon
-
the subject.
BURGLARY On Thursday night last, q couple
Of yirtuoqs young gents retired to rest in small
back Office on Laurel street and the back door
having been aeeidently left open, thieves en-
tered, and not. satisfied with hlcbing all the
small change from their vest pockets, did &C
| tually take the casing for their neither extrem-
| tiles. and transport them to neighboring yard

brought to primitive conditions condition in

| men would have done under similar circum-
stances, but went in quest of their missing gar
nents to the neighboring yards. The sun was
up, and therefore the people of that locality did
not mistake them for midnight spectres 1--WE hear
of nosfaintng) when the young gents did ind

BATON RoUGE AND Its RAILRoAD.-This town
has voted 100000 to construct railroad from
| the river to intersect the Jackson and Northern
Road near Springfield. 1t supposed the parish
will vote 100000 more There is also spirited
movement for an individual subscription. Baton
| Rouge is not afraid of issuing bonds Go ahead,
gentlemen, you are right. Be ready to break
ground at once, and there will be no more talk
| Of removing the State House. [Oreole.
| The action of the citizens of Baton Rouge
/ upon the railroad question, is receiving com
mendation in every direction. What other eyi
denee do we need to show that we are right,
than this universal acknowledgment of the fact
among those who are not particularly inter
ested. "What everybody says must be true.
The city has nohly done its duty, and it now
remains for the parish to do hers. There is not
property holder in the parish Of East Baton
Rouge who is not equally interested in puShing
! forward this enterprise, with those who reside
in the city. We therefore hope our police jury
will lose no delay in submitting the question t.
the people, whether or not they will authorizs
the parish to subscribe for stock in the proposed
| road fGazette.
