Attempted Burglary.

AT about 3 o'clock on the morning
of Sunday last, Mrs. Ellen Robins, a
resident of Market street, was awak
ened from her slumbers by very pun
gent odor in her room which bore
strong resemblance TO the well known
perfume, " Boquet de-Afrieue.' Be
coming more fully awake, she heard
shuttle of foot upon the floor. and al
once realized that negro man was in
her room. Hastily arising, she has
tened to arouse her older son, Bow
doin, who is only about fifteen years
of age, and who slept in an adjoining
room, telling him to get his gun and
shoot as there was man in her room.
At this moment she felt upon her arm
the grasp of mans hand, but wrench
ed herself away and closed and tightly
held door of the room in which were
the man and Bowdoin. The latter,
his gun not being in his room, fell TO
pummeling the negro, who finally
managed to open window and es-
cape by jumping from porch to the
ground, distance of about ten feet
Mrs. Robins, hearing the window
open, hurried down stairs to summon
aid, and found a second negro stand
ing at the back door, which was open.
Negro number 2, seeing Mrs r., de-
parted in haste, and by the time sew
eral gentlemen arrived upon the scene,
both of the negroes had made their es-
cape. No clue as to the identity of
the burglars has as yet been obtained.
Nothing was missed from the house,
and it is surmised that the thief had
just started on a tour around the house
when his loud aroma awakened Mrs.
X. 1t is very much to be regretted
that Bowdoin's gun was down stairs !;
had it been in his room, it is likely we
should now have a crippled "coon :"
in our county hotel.
