Masked Robbers at work.

A robbery of a most daring and extra
ordinary character was committed Tues
day night at the house of Mr.. Wm. X.
Souttcr, in West New Brighton, near
Sailors Snug Harbor, Staten Island. Mr.
Softer is a banker of New York City,nnd
his house, which is very handsomely fur

charge ofscrvants, much valuable proper.
ty, including silvcrwarc having been left
on the premises. The New York Sun says:
"The house was broken into OH Tues
day night, the servants bound and gagged
and everything carried away. A party
of masked men entered the house the
previous night, and after binding the SER
wants, including the waiting man, three
girls in the service of Mr.. Souttcr, and
two others employed by Commodore Os-
borne, who were spending the evening
with their friends, they ransackcd the
house, and being unable to open the iron
safe in which the silvcrwarc was kept,
blew it open with gunpowdcr. The stable
was also visited and the silver mountings
removed from the harness. They then
took the gold heads oftwo walking canes
in the hall, wantonly destroyed much
property too cumbersome to be removed,
and quit the house cautioning the scr
wants not to make any attempt to stir
before daylight.
THE ONLY CLUE.
Tw boats, cnc FIR. Charles H. Mcigss,
and the other Mr.. Livingston's were
missing from the moorings, and in these
the burgulars had evidently escaped with
their booty, for both boats were subsc-
quenly found on the New Jersey shore,
Mr.. Souttcr carefully estimated the total
loss, which he said is upwards ofS12,OOO.
The police could give no clue, for the
servants could not describe the burglars,
and were uncertain as to the number;
some say therc.Tcre eleven, others twelve.

of the burglary was Annie Fays, a SER
want girl, who says that the girls and the
waiting man sat down to play cards, the
coachman having gone to bed. AT ten
minutes past nine o'clock a knock was
heard at the hall door, but none of the
card party were in mood to hasten to
open it; nor were they required to Go so,
for without any repetition of the knock

pushed open. and before the card players
