They Beard Two Attempted
Murder and SoSbery-.A Captain sLet.
one Of the most daring Outrages ever attempted by
the organized gang of thieves who have operated for
years the East river was made at about Two
O'Clock yesterday morning.
At the time mentioned The briggs Abbie c. Ttcomb
and Henry rrowbidge, lying at the dock Of the Long
Island sugar Refinery, foot OF South First street,
Williamsburg were boarded by four OF the pirates
who were armed 10 tho teeth with navy re-
Of the Trowbridgc and Overawed her first
ofcer, Joseph A. Sanders, who surrendered to
them twelve dollars In money and some valuabes
They then placed guard at the cabin door Of The
TrowbridGe and visited the ritcomb. Finding the
CABIN door Of this brig securely fastened the effected
an entrance, and the noise they made awOke Captain
aaster5on. The Captain saw two fellows III his
ter ana business. Having revolver in hts berth he
seized II and without speaking u word, fred
at the lntruders. At the report Of his pistol they
hurried out OF the CABIN but OF them returning
for q moment, took aim at the captain, fired, and
lodged ball In the feshy part of his arm. They
then entered their boat aud rowed away toward the
Wallabout before the police, who were notified by
Captain MastersOn OF the occurrence, managed to
get shot at them to intercept their departure.
Depredations OF the above character were common
few years ago, but the police boats put end to
them. Since, however the disruption OF the Metro
politan police system the Long Island shore has
been left unprotected, and the thieves experience
very little opposition on their pratcal raids, as the
shore police are no match 70 them. The amount OF
thieves during the past month is estimated at figure

REAKING HEIFERS TO THE PAIL.

New York Tribune as follows " We now
babe heifer with calf of her own,
which has cost us at present prices about
$56 But she has not been broken to
milk, a term which is no MISSIONER when
we consider the way in which it is too
often done. Yet, as we do not intend to
break the milk stool on her hlp-bones, or
to break her ribs with cudgel, we will
change the term and call it learning
heifers how to be MIXED And as the
heifer is entirely ignorant of what we de-
sire, we will first obtain her confidence
and assure her that no harm or injury is
intended to her on our part. This may
be done by carding her gently while an

ing this process few times the heller is
transformed into very kind and gentle
COW, unless her teat or udder is sore from

HOW TO GATHER ASPARAGUS
Joseph Wilson, Little Falls, N. j.
writes AS often as [ have passed
through the market places and seen the
white trash that is universally sold as
asparagus, have felt Vexcd, alike at the
stupidity of the gardeners and the
thoughtlessness of the buyers; and have
several times demonstrated with the mar
ket-men on the improper mode gath
ering the asparagus, by which hundreds
oftons are worse than thrown away. But
probably, regarding me as an old fogy
they have invaiably neglected any ad
vice. It must be known to every one
using asparagus that the white part is
not edible, because of its toughness All
YOU can do with it is to snck a little OF
the Juice and then throw it to the hogs
This is altogether the fault Of the wrong
mode OF gathering it for use. From the
appearance of the branches / have seen,
conclude that as soon as the stalk appears
above ground long knife is thrust into
the ground and the stalk cut as deep
down as possible Now, that part of the
plant below the surface is hard and
tough, and consequently is a dead loss
My plan is to let the stalk grow from
eight tx twelve inches above ground, and
then to go along the bed and snap off the
stalk with the fingers, as far as it is ten
der and will break square off. The con
sequence is that the whole stalk is as
tender as a green pea, and can all be
eaten.

AT Uxbridge, England, has lately died
an old lady of ninety three years, whose
history has ever been mystery to her
neighbors. She was Of peculiarly eccen-
trio habits, always quaint in her dress,
and impregnable to the curiosity of the
town folk. She was found lying dead in
her bed, and an inquest on the body show
ed that deceased was a daughter of a
Spanish nobleman Of high distinction. In
early life she contracted clandestine
marriage with the Count de Chantal, of
France, who was General in the French
army under the first Napoleon, and who
fell at Waterloo. Exiled from her native
country, as well as from France, she took
refuge in England soon after the restora
ton of peace, and was living Oh her
scanty income at Uxbridge.

AN ASTONISHING LEAP.-The terrific
leap of a passenger from moving pas.
senger train on the Talle]o route from
Sacramento, on the 18th of June, forever
puts Sam Patch's Nlagra exploit in the
shade. The train, it appears, was abouI
ten minutes behind time, and was making
it up at the rate of twenty miles an
hour. When about five miles above Suis,
in, the passengers in the smoking-car
were astonished at seeing man, who
had been sleeping in one ofthe side seats,
spring to his feet, and, with one bound,
plunge head fore most out of the window
on the opposite side of the car. The win
dow was up at the time, and the man
went through like dart, showing that
he was an expert diver He threw up
his heels when he made the plunge, and
they came in contact with the sash, shiv.
ering the glass in atoms. The alarm was
at once given that a man was overheard !;
the train stopped and backed to the place
where the fearful leap was made, for the
purpose of picking up d mangled corpse.
The flying passenger was found, however,
sitting on the ground, rubbing his eyes
add trying to collect his scattered stnses
sufficiently to ascertain where he wasand
and how ne cane there He was handled
tenderly at first, but it was soon ascer-
tanned that the only damage he had
sustained was slight abrasion Of the
skinon one of his elbows. E
