\ HOLD .Attrlnpt at RobberN.

Last evening, between nine and ten o'clock,
the sldents in the nc ighborhood of Seventh aud
Walnut street, were suddenly startled by screams
ISSUING iinn the premises of Mis-. Waiuwrieht, :,
who Keeps small confectionery and trimming
storo two doors below Walnut OH Seventh ON the
southeast sdc, which, alter little investigation,
We're found to proceed from Miss Jennie Pyle, a
young lady who resides directly opposite Mrs
Wanrlghts store, and who had just climbed out
OF the window OF Mrs WainrIghl's sitting room
and who was too badly frightened to tell the
cause of her alarm ior several minutes aiterward.
When she had regained sufficient composure,
however, she gave the following statement:
"Beng quite intimate with Mrs. wainwright, l
frequently visit her house, and upon this occasion
did, as usual, 90 in without rapping, the door not
being fastened, and seeing some one in the store
room which l supposed to be Mrs. Wainwright 8
son, | inquired of him where Mrs. w. was, to
which he responded by presenting a pistol and
informing me that if made any noise gave
the alarm he would blow my d-n brains out, and
setting the lamp which lie held in his hand OH
the counter he immediately went out the door,
locking it after him on the outside, thus leaving
me locked up in the house all alone, which under
| the circumstances. was not by any means pleas
ant situation, not knowing to what extent he had
carried his depredations and thinking 1t probable
| that he had murdered Mrs. W., who might be UT
stairs, and seeing no means of escape except by
Il window in the room, unfastened it and climbed
| out quickly as possible, and gave the alarm
never saw the man previous to this to my
knowledge, but would readily recognize him Ii ]
| should see him again"
| We understand that Mrs. Wanwright. was a
church during this occurrence, and knew nothing
| of it uEtl her return, she having, as she suppos
| ed, securely fastened up the house The robbie
entered by means OF false KEYS, leaving the doc
unf.steued behind HIM, heute the entrance o
Miss Pyle. The thief being thus interrupted il
his designs. only succeeded iu carrying oil tn
| value OF two UT three dollars.
A suspicious looking character has been seel
loatlng around the corners in that vicinity for III
last few days, to whom this deed is charged, an
his prsseuce was eagerly sought for last night b.
the police but he has not yet been found 1t i
hoped that the perpetrators of such acts as thes
will not tail in single instance 10 receive thei
merited share OF delaware barbarty,n which 5
eiectually tends to rid her OF her share of worth
less vagabonds tLat infest other localities.

Shot i'm the Hand.

A white lad by the name of John
Sheehan was severely injured Fri
day afternoon by the accidental dis
charge of a pistol in his hand. The
pistol is one from which the trigger
had been broken and could only be
discharged by pulling the hammer
back with the thnmb and letting it fall
on the cap on the tube. Sheeban was
attempting to discharge the pistol in
this manner when the accident &C.
CURED, but thoughtlessly held his
left hand before the muzzel. The re-
suit was that the load passed through
the lower portion of his hand, near
the little finger, inficting a very ugly
wound. DR.. Norcom, who was Gale d
in, dressed the injured hand.
A thousand words of advice are con-
veyed to parents in this one accident,
and the near approach of the Christ
mas season, when gunpowder is so
freely burned, warns them of results
that may follow the careless handling
of firearms.
