BOLD ATTEMPT AT RcBBERT.-A very bold At
tempt was made on Saturday night to enter the
jeweIry store Of M. w H. CALHOUN, on tine pub
lie square. They were discovered by atcbmaD
on his rounds, who gave chase, but the other
wstcbmen on the square were at the moment en-
gagged in taking two prisoners to the work-house,
and hence the burglars made their escape, before
additional watchmea could snswey the call One
of the burglars shot twice at tie Waterman who
discovered them, being only eight or tea feet dis
tent st each fire. but fortunately missed him
These men, it is evident, had been watching an
opportunity, for the chief of the police had left the
vicinity Of the store only few milu'es previous
to their discovery. Ia their fight, the burglars
dropped come Of their tools az suger, chisels &C.
They first made an effort to eater the cellar, break
ing of tbs outer lock, but finding the door locked
on the inside, they went to work to remote the
transom, that az entrance might be effected over
the door, and it was while thus engaged that they
we're discovered. But for the fact that the other
watchmen on the square were ergsged as men
toned some or 81 these burglars would have been
arrested.
