An AdrOit Robbery.

The Boston Herald has the following:
Saturday evening, shortly before o'clock,
and while the alarm Of fire was being sounded,
Mr. ID. y. Aver was waited upon at his jew
elry store, OH Hanover street. nearly oppo-
site the American House, by a couple OF
Americans of African descent, who expressed
a desire to be shown some gold watches.
Mr. Aver responded, and produced a couple
of time keepers for the examination of his
coored visitors, thus giving them the oppor.
tunity to choose between a forty dollar and a
fifty dollar watch. Some conversation en-.
sued respecting the relative merits Of the
golden time-pieces, and for a few moments
the pair were in doubt which Of the two to
purchase.
80 great was their indecision in this mat.
ter that one Of the party proposed referring
the subject Of choice to a friend who was
waiting without the door. The friend, who
was also Of the colored persuasion, cheerfully
! entered upon the duties Of referee, and
promptly performed the same by approach
ing the counter, and without hesitancy made
choice of the $50 watch, suddenly snatching
it from off the show case and making quick
his departure, followed by the couple who
first entered the store, one Of whom seized
the remaining watch, but which he dropped
in his flight ere he reached the door, which
was only about three feet distant from where
they had been examining the articles inquired
for.
"Mr. Aver was alone, and had distance
of some fifteen feet to pass before he coult
pass around to the front Of his counter, ant
by the time he reached the sidewalk and ha'
given the cry of stop that black man. thu
trio of thieves were up the street, and sool
out Of sight.
search after them was almost immed
ately instituted, but at midnight nothing ha
been heard from them, and no doubt the,
will keep dark for q long time"

Important Decision Of the Attorney
General Relative 10 Attorneys
and Claim Agents.

The Paymaster General having decided
that attorneys were excluded from the pros
ecution aud collection of the additional SOL
diers' bounty provided by act of Congress,
July 2S, 1866, the question was by order Of
the Secretary of War referred to the Attor-
ney General to decide as to the right of
claimants to act by attorney, The Attorney
General, after a lengthy review Of the sub
iect, concludes as follows:
II am therefore of the opinion that you have no
legal authority to exclude authorized attorneys and
agents from collecting bOuntes, and that In the
presentation and payment Of claims the claimants
may act by attorney"
The decision OF the Attorney General is
important inasmuch as it comedies the right
of an agent duly authorized by power of at
torney to prosecute, not only claims for adj
ditional bounty, but all others coming before
the different departments of the Govern
ment

THE Property OF JOSEPH 4. DAvIs.-Gen.
Howard, of the Frsedmen's Bureau, has Or
dered the rents that have accrued upon the
property of Joseph +. Davis, brother of JET:
ierson Davis to be paid to him from and
since the date of his pardon papers, which
were issued on the 18th of March last, but
not forwarded to him until early in Septem-
Der. The value Of these rents is not far from
twenty thousand dollars per annum; SO that,
in effect, Davis receives probably as full, or
nearly as full an equivalent, in the way Of
rents upon his property, as if the property
itself had been fully restored to him. The
General declines to act on the question OF
restoring the property itself

when we state that the establishment of the

The principal garden for vegetables, fruits,
greenhouses, etc, is rs acres. There are 30
greenhouses, each from so to rs feet long.
Three or four of these contain nothing but
pinc-appes; others contain nothing but
melons and cucumbers. Ono peach tree on
the glass wall measures 81 feet in width, Ii
feet in height, and bears 1000 peaches. 1t
is the largest in the world. The grape houses,
) or 6 in all, are 700 feet long. But what
shall be said Of the conservatory, filed with
every variety Of tropical plants? 1t is one
of the wonders of the world. 1t covers an
acre of ground is 100 feet high, Of oval

steam and hot water pipes, which in all are
six miles in length. The apparatus con.
