LADY Captures a Burglar.
IFrom tho Troy Press, saturday

From the Troy Press, Saturday.
Yesterday afternoon while Mrs. DIR.
r. ii. Sabin of West Troy, was in the
bathing room at her residence, she heard
footstep in her sleeping room adjoining.
But this did not strike her as being out
of the way, as she thought it might be
the servant girl moving across the room.
But presently she heard another, this
| time mis-step. She Immediately step
ped from the bathing room to the hall,
"where she was confronted by an UNI
known man. Mrs. Sabin asked him
what he was doing there. He replied
that he was looking for the Doctor"
Mrs. Sabin politely informed him that
that was ono place to look for the Doc
tor" The intruder stated that he had
called once before to see the Doctor but
he was not in and had come again-that
he was sent by Doctor in Albany to
enquire Of DIR. Sabin where DIR. Taylor
lived. Mrs. Sabin, knowing that there
was no DIR. Taylor in West Troy, told
the man so and further that that was not
his business there. The man drew back
step and placed his hand to his breast
as if in the act of drawing pistol and
asked Mrs. Sabin if she was not fright
ened ?" She was not frightened in the
least and told him so. Mrs. Sabin hear
ing a step at the door told the fellow to
go down stairs and leave his address on
the Doctors slate. As they reached a
door opening into the Office the Doctor
himself appeared upon the scene and
confronted the intruder. Mrs. Sabin
informed him of the occurrence and
stated that she missed certain articles
from her room. DIR. Sabin detained the
fellow and sent for an officer who arrest
ed the man and sent him to the station
house, where he gave his name as
Charles johnson and upon being search
ed the missing articles were found upon
him. 1t was the most audacious piece
of business that has occurred in this vii
lage for long time, and had it not been
for Mrs. Sabin's courage the burglar
would probably have escaped to ply his
nefarious trade upon others.

Extract from Private Letter from New York.
The lady of the house where | live
was brought to New York by her father
and mother (from Hamburg) when she
was II years old, and with her two
younger sisters, all of them charming
married women in this city now. 1t is
an old story, but wildly fresh in the
lie &c tho ,ubo1a 20 p,;1v npo r;nbt
in this city, the mother of the three girls,
having been kept up by some household
duties, had gone to bed about midnight,
when, beside herself, the whole house
was hushed. Scarcely had she taken
off her clothes and got into bed, when
she had occasion to violently wake up
her sleeping husband with this: "Oh,
God do you know that my mother is
in America ? She has just been in here,
but would not speak to me, and this mo.
ment has gone into the room with the
children Go in and bring her cut
How she fonnd US out, at this late hour
of the night, | do not know" The
reused husband went into the next room
turned up the gas, and saw only three
beautiful girls, smiling and sleeping il
one wide-bed. He noted date and hour
1t is tame to tell the sequence. The
next steamer mail from Hamburg
brought news that the grandmother o
the children, in that very night anC
hour, had gone to the Beyond. Did sh'
stop in this city to bless the children OF

all, to the unbelieving, shall | say I'm
