A MANIrowoc Boy AMONG THIEVES =
HIRAM c., Smith, eldest son of P. P.
SMITH, Esq, OF this village who has been
for something more than year East in the
employ Of a mercantile firm at Lacon Iii. j,
reluctantly played the part Of host at de-
cidedly unpleasant surprise party on Tues
day night ef last week. The particulars 4
the affair, as detailed by hfm in letter to
his father, are substantially as follows i:
His room was over the store, and be was
the only person who slept in the building.
He retired at 10 o'clock on the night in
question, and was soon fast asleep. About
3 o'clock inethe morning he was awakened
by light slap On the face, and, upon open
ing bis eyes beheld four men standing over
him, two of them wearing masks, and them
with cooked reyolvers in their hands. Act
| ing upon his frsteimpuse he drew his own
revolver from under his pillow, but it was
Immediately seized and wrenched from him
by his visitors, who quietly ordered him,
as he valued his life, to get up Immediately
60 down stairs with them, and unlock the
safe. If HIRAM has any weaknesses lack
of pluck ISM one of them, as his friends all
know, but there was no alternative this time
but to submit. The thieves secured what
money there was in the safe, which tortun~
ately amounted to only sl76, and then con-
siderately escorted him back to his room,
where, after relieving him of his gold
watch and about SIS of his own money,
they tied him hand and foot and baGe him
good morning. HIRAM succeeded in un-
tying with his teeth the cords which bounG
his wrists, and, as soon as he could free
himself, crossed the street to where men,
ber of the firm lived, and gave the alarm,
but no traces Of the adroit burglars could be
discovered. Two other stores in Lacon, and
dwelling house, were entered and robbed
on the same night. -4f"

The SCoW SWALLOW disaster to
the scow S,oato,o, of this place, was briefly
noted in the Pilot Of last week. The Mil.
waukee Sentinel of the 9th says that the
tug Kitty Smoke towed her into Mllwau>
kee the day previous in totally dismasted
condition. Capt. BARLEY, of the disabled
vessel, states that she was run into by the
scow barque Le,ois Day, at o clock Tues
day evening, when about two miles off Cen
trcville The tSWdlloaU was on the starboard
tack, while the barque was running down
the lake with free sheets, the wind blowing
fresh from W. S. w. The Day struck the
S,eallop near the main rigging, on the port
side, and carried away the latter spars, in
Guiding even the jibboom and bowsprit, in
the twinkling of an eye; broke portion of
her rail, completely used up the mainsail,
and tore the remainder of her canvas badly.
The barque did not stop to ascertain what
damage had been done, or whether any one
on board had been injured by the falling
spars, but kept right along upon her course
down the lake. The Sunalloo was loaded
with wood from Bodies pier. .ssa. za
