ENTERED by THrEvEs.-The residence OF
Mrs. Phipps, on -Four. and a-half street, between
NJ and N, was entered by thieves a fcw evenings
since, and a lot of miscellaneous articles stolen
therefrom - including, among other things, q
pair Of shoes, a gun, 4 coat, and some school
books. An evening contemporary says the facts
have been reported to the detectives, who are
working up the case. As tho thcit appears to be
a huge affair, and likely to occupy the valuable
services Of our indefatigable detectives for some
time we suggest that other important business
may not suffer while working tho case VI"
that Messrs. Joseph Pierson, VIM. NJ Smith,
and West, the celebrated Baltimore detectives,
be engaged to assist our detectives here, and, If
necessary, Detective Taggert, Of Philadelphia.
