Singular Robbery.

A bold and unique robbery was per-
petrated in New York boarding h .use
on the 18th of July, which is thus
recorded in letter from that city: g..
A man and woman, calling themselves
Mr.. and Mrs. James, engaged board
about week ago with Mrs. Annette
Hardy, 563 Broome street. This morn
ing two unknown men called and asked
to see Mr.. and Mrs. James, and were
shown into the parlor, where they were
soon after joined by the above parties,
who appeared delighted to see them,
and Immediately sent out for some
liquor. Upon receiving the liquor, the
party asked Mrs. Hardy to join them,
which she did. She was not long in
the parlor when she was bound by the
visitors, and, upon her crying out, they
gagged her. The servant, Mary Arm
strong, hearing the cry, came to see
what was the ma tier, and was treated in
like manner. The thieves then col
lected. many articles, with which they
escaped, Mr.. and Mrs. James going with
them. The total value of the property
stolen is stated at $1,100. |'

A farmer, who had passed innumer-
able sleepless nights, has imn1ortalized
himself by discovering method OF
keeping babies quiet. The mode of
operation is as follows: AS soon as the
squaaer awakes setit up, propped up by
a pillow, if it cannot sit alone; then
smear its fingers with thick treacle ;
then, put half dozen feathers into its
hands, and it will sit and pick the
feathers from one hand to the other
until it drops asleep As soon as ii
wakes again treacle and more feathers,
and in place of the nerve-astounding
yells there will be silence and enjoy.

And said him /" Nay ''-as you may suppose
For he thought the fellow was mad =
And still for many and many day
He came to plead his case,
But the VlZler only answered Nay"
And laughed him in the face.
At last, the Cailif came across
The youth in the Viziers hall,
And. asking what his errand was.
The Vizier told him all.
Now by my head p the Calf said,

that horse stood there in the hot sun
from eight o'clock in the morning until
after five IN the afternoon (nine long
hours) without food or drink. 1t was
a black, small pony, with one white
hind foot, hitched to a black, gold

this damning, unmistakable.r and, so

instant, says: "a murderwas committed
near Fish Dam in this county, between
seven and nine o'clock last Saturday
night, by two men unknown TO the Ju-
rors, or any of the witnesses. 1t appears
that four colored men, Haywood Lyles,
Jefferin Spencer, Pearce Lyles and Rob
ert Jeter, with bags of cotton on their
heads, were passing along the road near
the Polly Sims place, when they were
hailed by two men on horseback. who
asked where they got the cot
ton. The colored men said they
had worked for colored man
who had no money to pay them, 50
he gave them cotton instead. The
white men told them they intended 10
Kill all the Cd d--n cotton stealers.
They then shot jeff Spencer, the bail
strieking him in the mouth, infiicting a
very severe wound; then they shot
Robert Jeter dead, the bah passing
through the heart; they ATTEMPTED to
shoot Pearce Lyles but missed, the
powder from the pistol burned his lips.
Six witnesses were examined, and
although the murderers were not dis
guised, and each witness saw the men
commit the murder, no one could
Identity them.

SACRAMENTO, October 16.-In the sec
ond heat the betting was about the same
| as at the commencement, two to one,
/ Both horses come up fresh and got of
/ on the first score. The Maid at the
pole drew out daylight at the quarter
post; time, 0:4l4. The Maid increased
/ two lengths at the half mile; time, :0S3.
| There was no change in the home
| stretch, where the Maid drew ahead and
! again passed under he string twenty
yards ahead; time, 2:204. There were
no pools selling on the race.
In the third heat both horses got of
on the first score. Accident made q
! spurt'and took the lead of three lengths
/ to the first quarter; time, 0:343. The
I Maid gained slightly before reaching
| the half mile and passed it about the
| same; time, :G93. The Maid was clos
/ ing, and the third quarter Occident
broke badly, and Maid passed the line
( ten lengths before he regained his feet,
Maid then easily took the heat in 2:22,
beating Oecident by nearly three-fourths
Of distance.
Bud Dobley, driver Of Maid, charges
Eoff with running the mare before
reaching the first quarter. Eoff run a
wheel of his sulky against the shaft
and then over theIfOot OF. Maid, which IS
slightly scratched but not damaged to
any extent; it will probably be lame two
weeks. This action on the part Of Eoff
is condemned. After the race EOtf
quarreled with Jaekman, the owner OF
Maids mate, and struck him, and was
promptly arrested. 1t grew out of EOf 5
actions. The result Of the race is a
great disappointment to the people here,
but not unexpected.
Governor Stanford, owner of Occident,
stated publicly this morning, before the
race, that his horse was either sick or
tampered with last night. This is not
generally credited. Next Wednesday
0ccident goes against Lucy.
The time surprised every one, particu-
larry the sporting fraternity, who bet on
2:l6 and 2;l7.
At the close Of the race Jim Eof was
fined one hundred dollars for driving into
the Maid. All denOunce his action, and
regret that he should resort TO jockeying
in a fair race. The best drivers say that
the horse was driven the best he could
60, and better time could not be made by
him to-day. EOff will probably be ruled
off the course in the future.
