A Singular Robbery.

Joseph Il. Isaacs,a diamond merchant
residing at 81 East thirteenth street n. Y.
was called upon on Thursday last by a
tall young man, Of dark complexion who
seemed to be an Italian, representing
that he had some diamonds to SELL and
requested Mr.. Isaacs to call upon him
at his room, No. 450 St. Nicholas Hotel
Broadway. Mr.. Isaacs called upon the
stranger at the time appointed, and found
him at the number and place mentioned
at the st Nicholas.
after few minutes conversation they
were joined by another stranger, who
with Mr.. Isaacs' supposed customer,
seized and gagged him, and stuffed a
towel saturated with chloroform into his
mouth and around his nose Isaacs at
once became unconscious, and the two
strangers robbed him of 5000 in legal
tender notes, $1,000 in promissory notes
large diamond ring with rubies, worn
upon his little finger, worth $l25. Mr..
Isaacs, after returning to consciousness,
screamed at the top of his voice and made
all sorts Of noise, which soon brought him
assistance.
After being freed from the fettcrs and
relating his story, search was immedi-
atey made for the strangers, but the
birds had fed with their booty. At the
instance of the proprietor Of the hotel
Isaacs was brought to headquarters and
the case laid before Superintendent jour
dan, who detailed two expert detectives
to work up the matter.

A Burglar Shot by a Lady.

On Thursday night, at about eleven
o'clock, the residence of DIR. Getchell,
in Philadelphia was entered through a
back window by burglar, who succeed
ed in gathering together a number Of sill
yer forks, knives, spoons, wearing apparel ,
&c. Mrs. Getchell, in her bedchamber
overhead, heard a noise in the parlor and
at once surmised the cause. She imme-
diately repaired cautiously thither, and
found burglar with candle in his hand
searching for plunder.
Making her way up stairs again as
noiselessly as she had descended, she
secured her husbands revolver, and once
more proceeded down stairs, and coolly
taking aim, fired at and wounded the bur
glar, although where, or to what extent,
is not now known. An examination of
the premises showed thatthe burglar had
bled profusely as large drops Of blood
were discernible all along the hallway
on the window sill, in the yard and on
the fence. The burglar took nothing
with him but the leaden ball which enter
ed his rascally carcass.

Fearful Scene in New York Theater.

A frightful scene, more exciting in its
details than the very strongest blood and
thunder tragedy that Bowery audience
ever witnessed, occurred at the Bowcry
Theater, on Saturday, the 2Sth ult. The
performances were drawing to a close,
expectation was on the tiptoe to witness
the brave and daring acts Of Miss Minnie
Wells with the Puma lions. That young
lady entered upon the stage, made her
courtesy to the audience, and immediate
went into the cage containing the lions
the crowded audience meantime watching
the exhibition with breathless interest
Suddenly, while the young actress was
going through the performance with the
animals, piercing screams broke the Gwe-
struck silence Of the theater and the au-
dence were Mortified at the sight Of
huge lion seizing the young lady by the
throat and lacerating her in such fright
full manner that the blood poured in
streams upon her dress.
The actors and attendants upon the
stage rushed forward and struck at the
enraged brute, and succeeded in causing
him to relinquish his hold upon Miss
Wells who was dragged from the cage in
fainting condition. She was carried
home by her parents and received prompt
surgical attendance. The scene among
the audience battles description. Sever
al women tainted and men shouted in
agony at witnessing danger which they
were poworless to prevent. Information
of the event was brought to the Franklin
street police station, and Captain Kenne-
dy, of the Sixth precinct, with a large
force Of police was promptly on hand,
and succeeded in restoring order, so that
the theater was cleared without further
accident.

In tearing down the chimney of an
old frame house, in New York, last week,
the skull of skeleton, grim and ghastly,
was suddenly revealed by the falling away
of some plaster. The whole of the rub
bish and falling plaster was removed as
soon as the fears Of the trembling labor
ers would permit, and in short time a
full skeleton was taken out Of place in
which it must have reposed for almost
half a century.
The police hunted up colored woman,
who had been a resident of the room in
which the skeleton was found, for over
twenty-five years. She professed entire
ignorance of its existence, and showed
by her frightened appearance to be more
surprised than the laborers. She had
often heard strange noises at night about
the room but had always attributed them
to rats and mice. Coroner Keenan, will
hold an inquest and may possibly throw
some light upon the mysterious case.

Information for Justices and Constables.

From the following extracts of decis-
ion by Judge Graham in suit to decide
what disposition should be made of funds
arising from sale on Execution, Justices of
the Peace and Constables may find informa-
ton of some value to Them
"We believe the general understanding
and practice of Justices has been to require
the Constables to return the execution in
twenty days from its date, and if returned
with a levy, an alias execution is isued up
on which the goods levied on are sold.
This we consider erroneous and un-all-
thorized by the act of Assembly. = X Il
The 10th Section of the act referred to re-
quires the Justice to issue an execution to
the constable, commanding him to levy the
debt, and within twenty days next follow
ing the levy, expose the goods levied, to sale.
This is the evident meaning of the language
used, and it is the only construction consis-
tent with the 18th sec. which makes the
levy lien for twenty days after it is made,
and no longer. The Constable has twenty
days from the date of the execution to make
his levy and the lien of the levy continues
for twenty days after it is made. So long
as this lien continues, he may sell, but not
afterwards He may levy on the goth day,
and sell on the fortieth, twenty days after
the levy, and the only provision made for
issuing an alias execution, is when the lien
of the levy has expired before sale. Then
an alias may issue. The first writ is .tUnctaSs
obiciO, and the proceeding on the alias is de
mooO, by levy, &C., as on the first execution.
Thus it will he seen that the general
practice of Justices, is not legal, and Con-
stables may take forty days from date of
execution for levy and sale, and an alias
Execution need only be issued when the
sale does not take place within twenty days
after the first levy has been made.

A Thief Treed by n Dog.

A thief came to grief under peculiar
circumstances at Fort Wayne, the other
day. Two drovers went to sleep in
caboose car at that place, having hung up
in the car carpet sack containing S., GOO.
A fellow who saw it, managed to reach
in and take the bag, and not content with
one, went through trap door for another
further off. A bull dog, however, seized
him IN trdnsitu from the rearward and
one of the drovers waking up, saw the
situation, drew big knife and swore
he would cut the thief's head off if he
didn't tell where the other sack was. OF
course, the thief told, and, despite his
pleadings, was left in charge of the dog
until the property was secured. He was
then released, sadder man, and minus
quart of blood.

A Church Row.

There was a conflict of an unseemly
character, in Zion Church (colored), cor
ner of Bleekcr and w. Tenth street, N.
Y, last week. Rev VIM. Il. Butler, the
pastor, is not liked by some Of the con-
gregation, and they considered it necces-
sary to have two policemen with him
when he entered the church. They
found another minister had taken his
place in the pulpit, but they soon ousted
him. Mr.. Butler, however, was not even
then, through his troubles. When he at
tempted to speak, the gas was extin-
guished and he was fOrcibly removed
The whole church was scene Of uproar
and confusion melee ensued, and sew
cral blows were struck. Captain Greer,
of the ninth Precinct and platoon Of
police, soon put an end to the fracas by
dispensing the congregation and arresting
two Of the ringleaders.

EEn A case just brought before the
courts of New Jersey, shows how the in
aurance business is sometimes carried on.
The Mariners Insurance Company of
Jersey City, after doing a hourishing bu-
siness for some time, sustained loss,
when it was discovered that the company
was not Incorporated, but had pur-
chased for $500 the charter Of another
company. 1t was then claimed that the
directors of the old company could be
made responsible for the loss, but these
persons showed that their names had
been used IS directors in advertisements
and cards without their consent. 1t was
also shown that one Logan, who had oper-
sted the concern, had effected insuran-
oes through the use of well-known and
responsible names, and before being call
ed upon to pay any heavy losses had de-
camped for parts unknown. Tho books
bad also been disposed of, so there re-
manned no evidence to show the condition
Of the company, or the names of the par
ties really connected with it as directors.
