copy the following from the Eastern N.
Y. State Journal, Feb. pa {:
The house of Mrs. Hannah Carpenter,
widow of the late James CarpenIer,) in
the town Of Harrison, was entered on
Tuesday night last by three men, who,
eflectng their entrance through the cellar
way, proceeded up stars--aller finding a
candle and lighting ito The sleeping
apartment of Mrs. G.. One Of the robbers
seized her, with his hand over her face,
while she lay in bed, and raising dirk
or knife over her with the other hand,
threatened instant death if she attempted
an alarm; while one of the others, stand
ing at the door of her room, with pistol
drawn upon her, made similar threats.
They then demanded that she should
tell where she kept her money. She
however refused TO answer to such de-
mands. Her trunk was discovered at the
foot of her bed. locked; bui falling IN their
attempts 10 break or crush it, they deman-
ded the KEY which, not obtaining, 'hey
searched through the drawers OF burea"
standing in The room. Not succeeding
in finding it, or money there or elsewhere
they left the premises, taking the trunk
with them. In the meantime, the hired
GIRL, who had been aroused by the tumuII
in the house, fled to one of the nelghbor
10 give the alarm, but before she returned
with assistance the robbers had left as a
| boye stated.
Mrs. c., her hired girl, an elderly lady
and small boy, were the only persons
constituting the fami!y-and they were
alone when the house was entered. The
trunk was afterwards found in a field some
half a mile lgom the house; broken opel
and riled of lis contenis--$l20 i'll money
silver spoons, &c.-and the papers lei
living scattered about on the ground. Th'
robbers have been tracked to the Rye Sta
ton of the New Haven Railroad, by pa
pcrs dropped along they way.
