Attempted Robbery.---A New Mode
Of Administering Justice.

The following attempt at robbery, and
the manner in which the would-be thief
was punished is related by the Troy Wing
of yesterday morning:
One of the best planned and boldest
attempts to make " big haul" in the
thieving line, that has come to light in this
city, in long time, was made yesterday
at noon. The gentleman Selected as the
victim was none other than Major Gates
H. Barnard, wholesale liquor dealer, No.
339 River street The Major who is
Treasurer of the Riding Park Association,
had in his safe pretty large sum of
money belonging partly to the Association
and himself Yesterday few miutes af-
ter II o'clock, he concluded to deposit the
entire amount in the City Bank aud did
so,-leaving his porter in the store until
his return. During his absence well
dressed young man, stranger, entered
the store, and desired to examine some
liquors, with the view of purchasing. He
was led up into the second story of the
building by the porter, who expected Mr.,

A JoKE.-We have frequently heard
Of "dry" jokes, but we think the follow
ing, which the Bennington Banner re-
lates as occurring in that place on the
Fourth, might be deemed the direct opo-
site, and appropriately classed as a
"wet" joke:
Gan occurrence which may we'll be set
down as a good joke-No. l, in all it's
accompaniments-transpired at Ben
nington Center on on the 4th, about
noon. A tremendous squat of wind
came up, as precursor of the heavy
shower, and filed the streets with per-
feet cloud of almost impenetrable dust,
giving it the appearance Of smoke. The
alarm Of fire was instantly given, our
neighbors having lately had taste Of
the devouring element, and fastened to
the rescue. No. Engine of this viii
Iage was got out in hurry, ard started
at full speed for the scene of the sup
posed Confagration, farmers span of
horses being 'confscated' for the pur-
pose, much against the wish of the
owner. On arriving at the Roman Catho-
lie Church it was discovered to be a
false alarm, and the valorous runners
wild the machine turned about and
came home in drenching shower, wet
to the buff Our uptown neighbors
should have sprinkling cart 1t was

though the village was all on fire. But

were up stairs, another well dressed young
man enterd the store, walked into the count
ing room, and commenced rummsging the
safe which he fonnd open. While in the
act of "going through" the drawers, pa
pers, &c, Mr.. Barnard entered, and hur-
riedly confronted his visitor The follow

Major, comprehending the "sltuaion"
-" Well in your part of the country, do
people keep directories in their safes Z"
Thief" Just come in, sir, and not
finding directory, | thought you might
have put it in the safe. That's all, sir"
notwithstanding somewhat "riled" at
the GOODNESS and lmpudence of the rascal
-"look here; l believe you're a d d
thief! I'd ought to thrash you like hi p
and suiting the action to the word, the
Major advanced energetically on the per-
son of the thief and Selling him by the
coat-collar, dashed him TO the floor In
falling, the rascars head struck against a
marble washstand, drawing the "claret"
not the Major's-pretty freely. The
fellow was " hammered" and kicked until
the Majors wrath was appeased, and was
then allowed to regain his feet. He start
ed for the front door, but seeing that fast
ened, he returned to the back door-the
Major propellng him all the while from
behind with terrific applications of boot
leather. Reaching the rear door, the fel,
low leaped to the ground. distance o.

Grating his forward movement" by stun

compelled the Major to look upon hin
with admiration. On reaching terra frml
he looked up at his would-be victim, and
said -"pJease, sir, tdroD me dorm ny
hate" So polite a request couldn't be re
fused, and the Major recovered the hat
and threw it to him, when he quietly
walked away.
Soon after the customer up stairs witt

samples of liquor and departed, saying
that he would return in about an hour ant

Both were evidently thieves of grea

They were entire strangers to Mr.. Barnard
and his porter. They evidently counted
on making a big haul" but signal,
