AN INcmKNT.-Oficers Tyson and Henderson
were at acertainpawnbroker's after goods stolen
by the boarding house thieves De Groot and
Hill. While there little girl came in with
silver cup Two old-fashioned silver salt cellars,
silver salt spoon, long, watch chain, with locket
medallion, and gold bracelet. Suspicion was
aroused in regard to these articles coming
throughout such q source, and they were
stopped. On examination the salt cellars bore
the initials 81. e. T." thereon. The silver cup
"F-s H-t, from her father. April ii, 1865" and
the spoons were marked &c. w. M" Note was
taken of this; Inquiry was made of Police Clerk
huxley at the Central Station as to whether
there was any record of stolen property of the
kind on the books.
Mr. Bulkley being quite familiar with the ini
tials affixed to the silver cup, and sending
NOTE to the gentleman whom he presumed was
its owner, discovered this to be the tact; and
also learned that the cup had been stolen at
Fredericksburg, Va, along with other valuables,
at the time General Burnside's army was there
encamped. The woman sending them to the
pawnbroker's states that they were given her
by a soldier named Roach, who was god father
to her child, ETC., and from the best informa-
ton TO be obtained, was at the city from which
the goods were taken. We need hardly add,
that the lost mementoes OF deceased little one
were warmly welcomed back again. though In
this roundabout way.

ALL ABOUT A HAT.--An event happened yes
terday which set forth how certain parties
having escaped, by running, the dangers Of the
frying pan, deliberately walked into the fire;
Yesterday afternoon O German lawyer, named
Geiss, was taking his ease in a dwelling near
Girard avenue and Eleventh street, which had
for its front an inviting saloon. While thus
enjoying himself, four Irishmen, named James
Darral, Robert Laird, James Sloan, and John
McIlhenny, came in, and in q spirit at once ma
licious and disorderly, concocted plan to rob
Mr. Geiss OF his "tile," then upon his head. It
was snatched, and away went all four. A friend
of Mr.. Geiss Immediately gave chase, and
coming up with one of them snatohed his hat,
which proved not to have been the one stolen.
The pursued called policeman, and the pur-
suer was arrested for larceny and taken TO the
Twelfth District Station House. While there
the officers brought in two men-the two first
mentioned-in a high state of mental ebulli-
tion, and being recognized as part of the quar-
tette who had stolen the hat, were locked up.
Soon afterwards the two latter called around TO
inform the police that the two men in duress
were not drunk, but all right. This was not
proven, since Mr.. Geiss, being present, identi.
led the two arrested, with the Others, for steal
ing. Alderman Fitch held each in $500 ball TO
answer at Court.
