a AYsTERY-SUPPosED~ ATTEMPr TO
COMMIT MURDER AND RoBBERY.-On
Tuesday evening a gentleman ssfrom Pc
seq County drove into the city in bug
gy and put up at the National Hotel, an
institution so celebrated that we have
been unable, after considerable inquiry,
TO find its exact location.
After his arrival he took drink, in
wiling several persons present to join
him, and retired to bed, at what hour we
did not learn.
At about 3 o'clock yesterday morning,
he says he found himself in the back
yard of the Ehotel:. premises, with no
clothes on except his shirt and drawers,
aud in the hands of three men, whom he
recognizes as ooarders at the National
Finding himself as he supposed in the
hands of murderers and robbers, he
made a desperate effort and freed him
self from their clutches, jumped the
Nfence and took up street ike quarter
horse, and proceeded to the Washington
Hotel
Afterwards in company of officer
Tenforde he returned to the National
Hotel and after some trouble and delay
succeeded in obtaining admission
The landlord, whose name we do mo-
know, expressed great surprise at thu
conduct of the gentleman from Posey.
Upon going to his room he found hi
pocket book and watch in the bed wher,
he had placed it the night before.
We know nothing of the antecedent
of the gentleman VINO was made the sub
ject of this strange adventure, and g
present the case is involved in mystery
which may yet be developed. Polio
officers and Justices of the Peace wer
IN consultation over the case yester la.
What further facts were elected we hay
not learned.
One thing, however, is certain, OF
city is infested with set of desperadoe
VINO are SO cunningly organized as I
almost defy detection or conviction, an
if legal process continues as powerlel
as for some time past, some more sur
mary process will be devised to free Il
city from their presence.

An EXTENSIVE ENTERPRIsE-There
are few cities which manifests more en-
terprise than Evansville.
1t is true that in some depaa .ments of
progress and improvement there is a
want of enterprise which we have fire.
quently had cause to regret. Among the
various enterprises that have attracted
our attention is the putting up of fruit
for future use
Everybody is canning fruit, especially
every thrifty, economical housewife, to
an extent never before attained in this
or any other part of the country. Bush
els Of blackberries, peaches, ounces and
all kinds of berries and fruit have been
canned this year to where quarts were
canned in former years
But the most extensive en- terprise of
this kind we know of is the firm of Sin
zieh & Son, on Water street.
These men have put up, this season
q, 900 quart cans of fruit and berries
consisting of Blackberries, RaspDerrles,
Strawberries, Cherries, Tomatoes, Peach
es, Ounces, &c, &c We visited their
establishment yesterday, and was utterly
COMPOUNDED at the vast quantity of cans
arranged in their rooms. But this forms
less than moiety of their stock on hand
Ever since the crop commenced ripen
ing, they have had from Is to 2(
women on Green river engaged in put
ting up peaches. They manufacture
their own cans, having expended 81 1856
| in New York for sheet tin alone.
/ They received, a day or two since
an order from Paducah for 400 dozel
cans, and one from Wheeling, Va, for 30l
dozen We doubt if any single firm il
the State exceeds this Evansville firm il
this line.

A MtbStosr Eow-Ak ~a wAra r,,t.

4 MtDS1oar Row--As We we're max.
ing our way home after the labors of the
day and good share of the night, as
usual, yesterday morning about o clock
we heard a considerable noise as of
quarreling in the vicinity of the market
house, on Locust street
AS there have been frequent robberies
of late in the city, interspersed occasion
ally by persons being knocked down, we
readily fancied, from the noise, that
some foul deed was being perpetrated.
We looked around for police officer for
short time and not finding one, con-
cluded to make a reconnaissance in force
and unmask the position.
Armed with two earthen fruit jars, one
in each hand, and small rattan or cane
under Our arm, we proceeded cautiously
up Main street, and deployed our column
into Fourth when we beheld a man rum
ming, as if in search of city of refuge,
from Locust toward Main street. Reach
ing Main, he filed left around the corner
where, taking up a strong position, he
determined to make a stand, and threw
out pickets by extending his head slight
ly past the corner, that he might keep
strict watch up Fourth street, in the d.
rection of Locust
Another party who seemed to be the
opposing force, was at the same time ad-
vancing down Fourth towards Main, and
calling to the first party to halt and come
back. When he had reached the alley
running from Fourth to Third streets,
the force in Main called out loudly, and
we thought somewhat imploringly, GO
ney, am yer frind? Say, now, am I
yer frind?'
"Oh, you domned fule," cried out
Coney, come back, and shake hands.
We'll, throw down your brickbat then,
an / will"
Being satisfied by the erich brogue,"
that they both belonged to the Hibernian
brigade of Keys corps Whis-key's we
mean, and concluding the country would
not likely suffer any irreparable loss
from their further proceedings, we fled
left on Main street and proceeded, at an
easy route step, to our quiet home and
to the bosom of our family.
