ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-As Mr..
Amos Parker was passing the corner of Green
and Plymouth streets about nine O'Clock last
evening he was accosed by two men, who told
him that they had business with him. Hequiet-
ly asked them what their business was, when
he was told that they wanted his money, and
that in hurry. Instead OF complying with
their request he drew pistol and told them to
leave, which they proceeded to do, Mr.. Parker
sending bullet after them, but, unfortunately,
without effect Although it would have been
rather severe punishment for the robbers if each
OF them had received bullet that would at
least have kept them on their backs for few
months, it would serve to teach the young des-
peradocs, who are now numerous in that locali-
ty, lesson that would have the effect of causing
them to suspend operations. Practice with the
pistol is now in order, and every one who has
occasion to be out after dark had better be in
readiness for an affair of like nature.
