Extraordinary Case OF Robbery

Since the days when the gentlemen
Of the road" used to soamper across tho
country on dark nights and stop carriages
by shooting the Positions, robbery has
degenerated into a very matter Of fact,
unromantic kind Of business. The pick
and the crow-bar have taken the place of
the sword and pistol and when moro
than usual daring and address are dis
played, it generally arises from some un-
expected circumstance having forced the
employment of either one or the other
Blood-shedding, without which robbery in
olden times used 20 BIO the exception,
rarely intrudes itself; indeed the art of
taking another mans property has lost
all its romantic traits, and it is only now
and then that cases occur which excite
interest on this account. However, a
robbery, accompanied by some oxtraordi-
nary novel features, had Just been com
mitted, aud deserves TO be recorded as
showing clever scheme to avoid capture
well carried out, and only failing to be
successful by neglecting precaution that
would have struck any one. 1t appears
that family residing at Vauxhall, agreed
to accompany some friends to the theatre
one evening lately, only leaving the
master, Mr.. Barker, and the servant
girl, Mary Newhall, at home. Some time
after their departure, Mr. Barker went
out, saying he should return soon. On
arriving home, about 8 o'clock in the eve
ming, he could get no attention paid to
his repeated assaults on the door-knocker,
although tho gas was alight in several Of
the rooms, which were apparently occu-
pied. Thinking this strange he applied
to his neighbor, and, with the latter's as
sistance, succeeded in entering his own
house by means Of an open window
Once inside most extraordinary scene
presented itself. In the passage a poker
broken in two, with a quantity of blood
and human hair adhering to the thick end
was found on the floor, and near il, somo
more hair aud a pail full of what appeared
to be blood. The whole house was in
most disordered state, property being
strewn about in all directions. Mr.
Barker, whose surprise at the tragic APP
pearance Of his house can be imagined,
sought for tho servant, but frnitlessly--
she was not to be found He then called
in policeman, and the search was re-
sumed, with no further result than the
discovery of the girls two bonnets, which
proved that she bad either been taken or
had departed out Of the house without
one. All over the house property was
either packed up ready for removal or
actually removed, and the servants boxes
were open and the clothes thrown about
tho floor like the rest. Two trunks and
a carpet-bag were missing, and it was
evident that the thief or thieves, had
taken tho stolen property out Of tho house
by these means. Among others a box,
made up into the shape Of a settee, be-
longing to Mr.. Heath, gentleman re-
siding in the house, was taken, aud by the
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1861-12-24

The WALRUs is an obstinate animal, and
docs not fly on the approach Of man ; on the
contrary, forming Themselves into body they
60 and meet him, and resist any attempt on
his part to proceed. When q company of
travellers meet these animals On the shore, they
are forced to fight their way through them !;
and if the walruses are pelted with stones,
they gnaw them with their teeth, but after
wards attack tie men with redoubled fury,
rendiDr the air with the most tremendous
growing. These animals seem to be fully
aware Of the effect Of united resistance and at
tack, and also Of the utility Of keeping in
masses and ranks for should any one of them
attempt TO retreat those in his rear fall upon
and compel him to keep in the ranks, or kill
him. Sometimes it happens that when one
walrus attempts to stop another, who is re-
treating they all begin to suspect each other
Of being inclined to fly; and, in that case, the
contest often becomes universal. When two
are fighting with one, the others come to the
aid Of the weaker side. While they are thus
fighting on the land, others that are in the
water raise their heads and look on for time,
till they also become enraged, swim to shore,
