BURGLARY AT BUCKsPOKT. Our cor
respondent sends us the following
Our quiet village was thrown into quite a
state of excitement last Friday, in consequence
of a bold and daring robbery which was perpe-
place. 1t seems the thief entered the house by
means Of ladder which CHANGED to be stand
ing near window, in the second story. The
burglars passed through two sleeping rooms,
both of which were occupied, before reaching
his apartment, and took a pair of pants lying on
chair near the door, and then descending the
stairs made his escape through the front door
of the house. The rascal obtained about one
hundred dollars which were in the pockets of
the pants. Up to this date no clue to the robber
has been obtained,

The Post this evening in abiding to
contradictory reports concerning Col.
Fisk's movements Wednesday says
''Col. Fisk was at the armory of the 9th
regiment most of the forenoon; that ut
the request of Gov. Hoffman he went to
stop the Jersey ferries. Returning about
9 p NJ. Col. Fisk was marching at the
head of his regiment in his shirt sleeves,
flonrishing a large sabre, when the first
crackle of musketry was heard in front
simultaneously with that volley there
seemed to come whole shower of stones
and bricks at the 9th and many of the
men declared that ritio shots were fired at
them from windows and roofs At any
rate Prior, a private in company A, is
now almost dead in u house near the
scene of firing. He had his leg complete
ly shattered by a ball, which must have
been fired almost straight down, Us it en-
tered Just below the knee and passed
through in line towards the foot As
the fire ran up the line of the S4th regi-
ment, towards the head of the 9th, the 9th
wheeled and Col. Fisk and officers stood
to the right, for the first company had
knelt ready to fire.
They discharged their pieces without
receiving any order, and the second COM
pany followed their example. The mob
surrounded Fisk and as he raised his sabre
they TELL upon him and in few minutes
afterwards he was picked up in the gutter
with his right ankle dislocated He was
carried into a bakery and attended by
surgeons Pollard and Thompson At
first it was thought he was struck by a
| snent ball. An hour later he was renov-
ed in disguise by the rear, where close
coach was waiting on another street to
remove him to the dock, where he took
a boat for Sandy Hook.

families have removed to various

have departed for the West. More
is said and done mere about going
West, than in Vermont. The West
here is Minnesota, iowa and ada
cent States and Territories while
the fu' West is the country west of
the Rocky Mountains, And yet
others who have been with us upon

having passed the "bourne from
which no traveller returns" They
will not return but we shall follow
