DARING RoBRERY.-Early this morn
ing, the Cafe de- Commerce on North c
street, Virginia, owned by Messrs. B.
Debat X Co., was robbed OF $500 or
Whereabouts, in the following manner: a
party was engaged in the rear portion of
the saloon, playing cards, when three
men entered and called for something to
drink, the bar-keeper waited upon them,
and in payment for the drinks they ten
dered a ten dollar piece, and the bar
keeper went into the back portion of the
money drawer for the necessary change,
exposing heavy purse OF coin. The
men two MeNicanS and an AmeriCan)
went out but in few moments returned,
the bar-keeper in the meanwhile gong
10 the back part Of the saloon to attend
70 the game Of cards. The three men
shortly after went out, and in q few mo-
mentS another customer calling and
offering piece for change, the money-till
was found TO have been distracted with
the entire contents. Suspicion imme-
diately rested on tho three men, and officer
Soule being informed of the matter, sue
ceeded in arreSting one of the MeXicanS,
and an American, who goes BY the name
of One-eved Reilly. The drawer was
found on d street. Two hundred dollars
of the money was recovered. Mr.. Soule,
IN making the arrest, was assaulted by the
Mexican with knife, but Others coming
to his assistance, he succeeded IN putting
handouts on the thief. Much credit is
due officer Soule for the ability he display
ed in making the arrest.
ANFl lAlEps - 1GSsEAAlF SAAINAIOOAAt
Miss Jessie Lester. who was shot by some
unknown party on Sunday evening, I'M
derwent the operation of the amputation
of her right arm near the shoulder. The
operation was performed by DR.. Wake
Brvarlv. assisted by Drs. Allen and
Watts. Chloroform was administered to
the sufferer, and the operation commenced
BY first making an incision in the flesh to
fully ascertain the extent of the injuries
the bones of the shoulder had received
from the bullet, and if possible prevent
the necessity of amputation-but the
bones were so badly shattered that it was
found impossible to save her arm, and It
was accordingly taken off close to the
shoulder, the shattered fragments of bone
being Skilfully removed, the arteries Sc
cured, and all necessary precautions
taken. The operation consumed about
one hour of time, and by the skilful man
ner in which it was effected reflects cred
itably to the surgeons. At late hour
last evening, Miss Lester was comfortable
and had fair chance for recovery.

4 SrovR THIEF.-The house of the Ma
poleon Consolidated Company was entered
few nights since, by way of the window,
and the cooking stove stolen theretrom.
\ "hot stove" not being proper subject
OF larceny, we presume that the Napo-
Icons must have allowed their fire to go
out. If there is any thing else in that
house that the thief covets, the key can be
had upon application at Montmlny's store.
