ers, aud at the same time greatly Increasing
the taxable values. The proposed conference
will have a two fold signi6cauce. 1t will show
to the people that their representatives prop
erly value the interest upon which substantial
appreciate benefits greatly depend, aud i! will
show to the outside world that the resources of
Virginia, so long the them Of tongue aud pen,
are deemed worthy Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT through

OCCASION of a general interchange OF views as
to the best mode of attracting immigration.
The plan submitted by Gen. Lee Gao be fully
considered. 1t is hardly possible that our
members Of Congress will tail to understand
their capacity for enlarged usefulness 10 this

Tragic Burglary.

One Of the most remarkable aud tragic burg.
laries that ever occurred 10 this or aoy other
country happened in B%ingbamtou, N. Y, on
Sunday last. a wealthy merchant Of the city
by the name of Keol was aroused from his
SAUNDERS by a creakiDg door, and, rising, COM
meneed to search the house, during which be
was confronted by a masked burglar, who, with
what was al the time supposed to be a pistol,
commanded him to 60 back to bed and remain
quiet or violence would ensue. Back to bed
went Mr.. Kent, and the burglar, bringing up
the rear, went through the wealthy merchants
pockets aud eft the room, closing the door be-
hind him. Kent Immediately sprang from bis
bed, but the door suddenly opened aud Mr..
Burglar, for the second time, requested bin
TO seek his couch and be calm, Which be did,
and the door closed again. MIR. Kent then hit
upon the happy thought Of plncsiing the baby,
whose cries would drown what little noIs, be
might make 10 getting up, aud be did SO With
the desired effect. Arising ag lilo. ne stepped
TO the closet, secured his revolver, turned up
the gas AID, quickly opening the door, saw the
u; sked burglar 10 an adjoining room. The
| pistulading then commenced, aud at the sixth
| shot be hit the burglar IN the right arm, VINO
upon finding himself cornered sprang upon MIR.
| Kent, and q terrific struggle ensucd for the
po.session of the pis' OIL, which still contained
one load. The desperate men fought alb out the
| room, then across the hall iDto the bedroom
where Mrs. Kant and her babe were, then back
into the room where the struggle commenced,
one having the advantage now and then the 9TH
er, each knowing that their lives were at stake and
each fighting like demons for the supremacy.
After ten minutes of terrible combat the wife,
with %undaunted heroism, comes to the rescue,
SEXES the burglar by the hair and mlngies 10
the fight. After a moment more Of despera-
tion the burglar was tripped, and, 10 order TO
save himself, loosed his grasp on the weapon;
whereupoD Kent, taking advantage of the op-
portunity, fired the last ball, which pierced the
mans breast near the nipple. But he did not
Weld. He RECOMMENDED the contest with re
doubled fury, seized Mr.. K2ot, hurled him to
the floor and, breaking away from the woman,
disappeared in the gloom. lo ten minutes at
ter he left the house he appeared at the door
Of a dwelling, three .quares away, and asked
for adniIiauce, stating that be had just been

consisting of a gold watch and purse-Gu the
table, sank int 4 chair aud Qaspcd. in tones
that were just audible, for "a doctor; that he
was dying. Ia half an hour more the true
state of affairs was Known, and the masked
man was placed 10 charge Of officers, who, uu
der the direction of the physician, removed
him to quarters 10 the Jail, where it is expect
ed he will die from the effects OF the wound.
