An intensely laughable robbery was perpe-
trated at the Jarrett House, st. Anthony, on
Thursday night, which in boldness eclipses
any similar enterprise Of modern times Col.
H. Wiltse, hearing somebody knocking around
n the hall near his room, at an unreasonable
hour, and suspecting II might be some villain
who meant to rob him, rose from his bed, Ak
ed the door Of his room open, got his brace Of
pistols and prepared for San emergency and
then set down on the bed to wait for the anti
cipated scamp to present himself. In this po-
sition he Jslt asieep! and while enjoying per-
pentieular dream, (probabiy Of robbef
writhing with . bullet in his thorax,) the un.
grateful and inconsiderats vagabond aforesaid,
walked into the room through the open door,
helped himself to new dress coat, two pairs
Of pantaloons and vest, pocketed six dollars
and fifty cents in money, deliberately became
an accomplice Of Procrastination (the thief Of
time) by stealing valuable gold watch, took
the studs out of the bosom OF the slumberer,
aud reluctantly departedi Mr. w. awoke
just in time to find his "victim vamosed, and
himself minus Of property to tie amount Of
500 to $500. In fact, almost everything in
the room had "gore OFF, except his faithful
pistols, which were firmly grasped in either
hand, ready capped and cooked! The funny
gentlemen with the dark lantern, has not been
heard Of since.-Detron .4dr. afh
