In q paragraph in yesterdays HERALD In
relation to Francis and Frank Vincent, the
one ex-Alderman, now City Treasurer, the
other Frank Vincent, who has become cele-
brated as traveller, we did not distinctly
separate the two. Francis Vincent of this
city, is the author OF the Anglo Saxon Con-
federacy, the proposed railroad from New
York to London by way of Behring's straits
and St Petersburg, and the protector Of life
saving stations on the Delaware sea coast,
bnt he has never travelled in India. Frank
Vincent is the traveller who has killed the
lions and tigers, and published book in re-
lstion thereto, and his Indian travels.
Whilst we are speaking of Mr.. Francis
Vincent, of this city, we are requested to say
he would be pleased If any of those who
read his article on the organization of an
army, published in the London Times, some
time since, and copied by the Irish World Of
New York and other papers throughout
the country, would send him a copy OF 1t, If
they have one, or send him word II they rc-
collect the date of any papers IN which 1t
was published, as he desires 1t for q partic-
ular purpose.

The Nc Dontbs Trial.

We see the following in Philadelphia
Press In relation to the suit of Henry 8.
McCombs, Esq, of this city against the
Credit Mpbilier:
In the United States Circuit Court yester-
day, before Judge McKcnnan and Cadwal.
der, the argument of the case of Hen,y g.
MeComb vs.. The Credit Mobilier OF Amer
lea, which was begun the day before, was
resumed. 1t is a proceeding In equity
based upon the following averments OF facts !:
In 1865 the complainant, at the request of
Fl. G. FAINT, of Richmond, w, subscribed
for the latter for $50 shares of the stock of
the Credit Mohilier, and gave his drift on
FAINT for s25, ,OC0, which was entered on the
books Of the corporation. About six weeks
later the draft WAS forwarded to Fam, who,
having changed his mind about the matter,
declined to pay it. Learning this, Mr., Nc
Comb concluded to take the stock himself,
aud procuring power of attorney for its
transfer on tho books, took his certificate
check for $25, 900 to the Office of the corpor-
alton and asked for the shares. The treas
urer said he could not give them, because
the president had gone away without leaying
any certificates signed In blank; but he said
1t was all right and offered to lecelpt for the
check. McComb deelined to leave the
check, and went away. In June following
the treasurer made an entry upon the books
stating that the draft had been returned
unpaid, and the subscription cancelled. Nj.
McComb, upon the theory that his rigAt to
the stock rested upon the presentation. of
the power of attorney and certified cueck,
brought this suit to compel the corporation
TO account for it. For the Credit Mobi.ior
it Is contended that the contract OF purchase
was never completed by proper te sder of
tie price, and that McComb had forfeited
all right 10 equitable relief, this suit not
having been brought until nearly three
years had elapsed since the transaction,
and the value Of the shares had largely ir-
creased. The argument is yet in progress.

local Affairs,
A D0ring EOOOevU.

Daring EOOOeTy.,,
Last Tuesday night, or carly Wednesday
morning, the most daring robbery hat has
| for long time been undertaken in thi
| city.
A party Of burglars entered the residence
of James Smith, No. 604 West SECOND st.
! and attempted to carry Off an amount OF
furniture, clothing and other articles, bu.
the robbers were fortunately frightened of
before they could accomplish their work,
obtaining however forty-one dollars In
money.
The house, which is the third from the
corner OF Adams street, was entered BY
the burglars from the rear. Passing
through the yard of Armstrong; residence,
the second from the corner, tney climbed
onto the back shed and then easily prytd
open the shutters of the second story back
window and entered the house. Mrs. Smith
and her little son were sleeping IN the Sec
ond story back room, two children in the
front room, and MIR. Smith and his son in
the third story. All the members of the
family had retired shortly after 10 o'clock.
The robbers, it seems, did not visit the
third story at all, though they completely
ransacked the rest ofthe house, after using
ether, or some such material, to drug the
occupants of the second story bask room.
About 6 O'Clock yesterday morning Mr..
Smith came down stairs, aud, after some
difficulty, awakened his wife, whose nerves
were very much affected. To use het own
words, she was all in . tremble and she
smelled ether. A glance at the condition OF
things In that room and the others showed
at once that the house. had been visited by
robbers.
In both the up stairs rooms the drawers
contents piled or promiscuously strewD
was In confusion. Clothing was bundled
up ready for removal; chairs were stacked
on the table and the carpet in the dining
room was partially taken up. The pictures
had all been taken from the walls, and
those from the parlor had been carried into
the back room, where the sofa was upside
down, A pile of shoes and clothing had
been thrown into the adjoining yard: On
the table in the dining room were found
broken loaf Of bread and broken knife.
The. burglars appear to have been des'
perate characters and to have made prepar-
atoms for violence in case their operations
were Interrupted BY any Of the members
of the family. In the second story back
room, where Mrs. Smith slept, her hus-
band open razor, that had been brought by
the thieves from the closet down stairs,
was found on the mantle piece, and inside
of the window where they made their en-
trance was q heavy club that had been
brought from the cellar. A stocking that
had evidently been saturated with ether
was also found in Mrs. Smiths sleeping
apartment. On the bereau Ia the second
story front room, where two of the children
slept, was box containing $4l dollars ID
money, and this the thieves secured. The
only other article taken away by them, SO
far as can be- ascertaiued, being silver
cup with the name Matte" inscribed upon
1t.
About 0 O'Clock in tho evening two men
called at the house and asked Mrs. Smith
for money, which she refused them, and
they passed. on. She docs not remember
their appearance.
