RonnERY ANp RACE oN TALpor SrEEr. Il

ROBBERY AND RACE ON TALBOT STEET.-
A visitor to our city, who gave bis name as
Joshua Lucas, not finding our hotels good
enough for him, took lodgings on Talbot street
last night. How he rested we are unable to
state with certainty; but this we do know, that
he "turned OUT this morning about o'clock,
and being punctual man, and not having
watch of his own to keep him cup to time
he determined TO take watch he found in the
bureau drawer Of the room in which he passed
the night. One of the fair hut fra occupants
of the house discovered him in the act of pock-
citing the watch, and though not exactly in
full dress, she clasped him, but being the
stronger of the two, he broke loose, and down
stairs be went, with not exactly a Waterman
after, but an infatuated watch-woman, close at
his heels He made straight for Main street,
pursued by the young woman in 9arb nearly
approaching the Georgia uniform. lie proved
TO have not only the watch but the g heels" of
her, SO that by the time she reached Jehnson's
Hall he was far in advance. At that point the
young woman was met by some prudent cltl-
zen. who advised her to return, and at least
put on her hoops. This friendly advice she
took; went home, draped herself, and soon got
out warrant for the aforesaid Lucas. From
the latest accounts the Police were on his trail
and we trust they may be more successful than
their fair predecessor.

A New HORSE SHoE.--For the in ormation
Of our Farmers, we give the following dis
cription Of a Horse Shoe recently invented in
Paris.
Instead Of the shoe being placed on the hoof
and burning its own resting place, the out
side of the hoof is cut away around the foot
to the depth OF half an inch; this leaves
ledge, into which the shoe fits, and is then
flush with the frog, which just touches the
ground, Instead of being raised, as Of old, by
the shoe. The advantages of this are that the
foot is little pared and that instead of heavy
shoe the animal is shod i'll what are little more
than racing plates. The advantages claimed
by the inventor are, that the horse never slips,
that the shoe allows the foot to expand ma
turay. aud that it lasts as long and is as
cheap as the old plan e

The PEACH CRop.--We are informed by
friends from the country, that tie peach
crop in this vicinity has been conside-
raby injured by the recent cold weather The
injury to the crop in the country around Pc
tersburg, is much greater than with lis. The
Express Of Saturday, says "We were in
formed by a gentleman yesterday, who resides
in the county of Dinwiddie, scme eight miles
from Petersburg, that the peaches III all
bis section have been killed by the recent
frost He says that not only has the bud keen
destroyed, but t',at the twgs for an ich or
more are entirely dead. Wednesday night was
unusually severe, and it was then that the
chief damage was effected. He also expressed
fears regarding the fate of the apple CROP but
entertains some hope that it has been spared
The loss Of the peach crop will prove very
serious one indeed to our people.

A RARE CHANCE FoR our GRocERs. The
announcement of the first arrival Of sugar
and noIasses from the West Indies since
the war, published in our local columns, is a
matter of considerable Importance to the gro
GERS, as well as to the people of our city. We
are informed by Messrs Chambern 4 Co.,
that this valuable cargo will be entered in
bond and sold at auction.
Our merchants are thus put i'll possession
of New York prices at home, and can save
the expense of transportation and Northern
commissions.
This cargo, valued at $40 900, is the com
mencement of a trade which will soon assume
respectable proportions. Messrs. ChamberGn
& Co. deserves great credit for the re-opening
of this very valuable trade We understand
that this cargo will be sold on time, the sale
to be governed by the same rules which are
practiced in New York The public will be
apprised Of the terms, amounts, qualities, etc
