Fourteenth or Fifteenth street east, we were SUD.

10 Sc q man, gun In hand, on q magnificent
charger, come bounding at race-horse speed,
from the northward, across the commons directly
towards us. But, ere we could think, he had
passed us and borne down upon two men who
were going toward the Navy Yard, each with a
goodly turn Of wood on his shoulder Too far
OF to hear,we only saw that the two men, throw
ing down the wood, were evidently getting
saucyi wnereupon the horseman brought bis gun
to bear upon them, so that they reshouldered The
wood, and, marching before him, came trudging
They thus passed us going toward Mrs. fsher-
wood farm, Cool Springs the procession being
from time to time enlarged by strolers, like our.
selves, Joining In Arriving at the farm house,
wood which, 1t appears, they lad cut and stolen
on the woodlan Of the farm A search of their
persons developed only a small axe with which
the depreciation had been made, a pipe and plug

public hotel on Greenleafs point.
Inc gentleman making this flying arrest Is one
OF those whose appointment as special officers in
a country neighborhood we mentioned In our
issue of Saturday last.

that the night patrol established on the farm
discovered, late last night suspicious character
on the premises, who, starting TO run when COM
manded to stop, was materially accelerated IN
his pace by charge Of double b shot in his pos
teTlors. But for his plunging into maishy
swamp he would have been arrested. 1t is to be
hoped he sank In the treacherous bog and was
suftocated The country is getting hot.
