the corner Of Finh and C streets, and robbed Of
s76 90 In treasury notes and gold watch valued
at $780, by three men. The particulars, as far az
we have been enabled TO learn are these: Mr.. Cling
started from the Central hotel about o'clock fol-

with whom he got into conversation. The man
asked him II he could get him some employment.
They walked along together until they came to the

men, when they Immediately attacked Mr.. Cling,
b. knocked him down, kicked him and robbed him Of
the above amount and made OF. He was very bad
" beaten about the head, causing the blood to now
ptofusely. He lay there for some time, until citi
zen, who happened to be passing along, saw him
and asked him what was the matter, he told him
he had been beaten and robbed. The citizen, who're
name we could not learn, conveyed him to the
Fourth ward station-house, where he was properly
cared for. Mr. Cling thinks he could recognize one
Of the men. We hope this matter will be looked
into by the proper authorities, and II possible ar
rest the guilty parties and bring them TO justice
