RIVER PIRATES AND RoBBER GCIDEs.-Strang-
erS in this city continue to be taken in and
done for" particularly those who visit Arlington
by boat, and unless something is done to break
up swindling by alleged guides our city will soon
have an unenviable reputation. Yesterday two
strangers, meeting some OF these unauthorized
guides, were shown through the city and subse-
quently taken TO Arlington, where other parties
Joined them, and the usual proposal to bet was
made, One of the strangers was wise enough to
say 81 don't gamble" but foolish enough to
show that he had money by pulling roll Of
bills amounting TO SIS out of his vest pocket
when one OF the party snatched it and escaped
in the woods The strangers started on their
return TO this city in boat, but their troubles
were rot yet over, for when about half way
Across the river the Ecu. esS was hailed by party
containing several men, who presented rtvoi-
vers and demanded 81 niHr,>c IRON the strangers
before tE.ey would allow them to proceed. Both
Ql me strangers are certain that they would
Know the parties again If they saw them, but
unfortunately were obliged to leave the city last
evening. The police should warn strangers
generally against these dangerous pretended
guides.

about 11% O'Clock, newspaper man, on his
way TO the City Hall to attend to his duties,
noticed on the top of one Of the chimneys fine

selected that place because 1t was formerly
known as "BuZzards Roost." The aforesaid
reporter soon procured small rifle, and, climb
ing through the scuttle, fired at him, and the
bird fell down chimney, at present not used.
The owl was found In the fireplace, apparently
