amount Of costly goods chiefly silks and broadcoths,
varousy. estimated to be worth from $4,000 to $4,000.
TIE Chief notified his men, and while devising
Of procedure man named Whine, living short dis
tance below the city, to the Chiefs Office and
stated that he had made such observations in bis vi
cinity as led him to believe that robbery had been
committed in this city. 1t appears that about clock
in the morning bis boy had seen man with q bundle
crossing one of his fields and called his attention to
the4act. He then went up to the man, who becoming
frightened dropped his bundle pulled on his boots and
was preparing 10 away; but seeing that he was
ignorant Of his character and the business he had been
engaged in he sat still Mr. Winnie passed on after sa-
lung him but after saw three other men Join him
and the whole party got into q small beat and
crossed the river to a small vessel lying at Castleton
Upon this information the Chief decided upon pro-
ceeding to Cssteton. He chartered steamtug called
the Uncle Ben for the purpose and took posse Of po
licemen with him. In the meantime Officers Lynch
and Conkn had heard Of the matter and started on
hand-car on the Hudson River Railroad for Caseton.
They reached Casteton flew minutes before the Uncle
Ben with the Chief and his officers, ard proceeded
forthwith to make inquiries respecting the suspected
men. They were pointed to party Of men on board
Of BEAUTIFUL yacht lying at the dock in the river.
The policemen went ON board the yacht and arrested
the following named men, who were apparently en-
joying themselves very well indeed, repOsing much
confidence in their imagined security; George Robert
con, % years of age; Da7id King. %; John Smith,

New-York.
1t appears that they arrived in their yacht at Cas-
Teton yesterday; hired ski lest evening, and pro-
ceeded up the river; arrived here at AN, broke
open the store, and left again. with the ski loaded
with goods at AM. They say they had no difficult
