DARING RoBBERY AT THE HOUSE OF CoMMo-
DoRE SNITH.-Sunday morning, between and
O'Clock, the dwelling Of Com. Joseph Smith, en-
Ninth ST., was entered by burglars, and consid-
cradle amount Of money and valuables taken.
The villains entered by back door, which they
succeeded in opening by means OF nippes. One
OF the gang entered chamber, and the lady occu-
pying u being awake she turned the gas on and
inquired who was there-supposing II one Of her
servants. The thief showed himself and told
her to be quiet, and IL would be better for her
The burglars then went into the Commodore's
room and took his pantaloons, also those OF rel
alive OF the family residing there, and rifed them
Of their contents. Among the articles taken was
gold watch with silkea guard, to which was
attached several charms or trinkets. IL was
Geneva hunting watch, with white dial The
loss Of this watch is felt deeply, as Il was the
property of the gallant LSeut. Smith (son of Com.
Smith) who was killed In the conflict with the
Merrimac, and for its return to Justice Dom $50
will be paid and no questions asked. The other
articles taken were silver watch marked
smith, ladv's bresstbin, topaz encircled
with small stones, Scotch pebbles, articles OF sill
notes. This is one Of the boldest robberies ever
perpetrated in Washington; and circumstances
indicate that Ii was planned about the day Of 1t
Smiths funeral-probably that very day.
