GETTING IN AT NIGHT. 'The door was locked when I 0t home,' saud Tom, 'and how t5 gfet in without wa kin up the 'governor, was tfce difficulty I knew he'd give me particular fits if he knew I was out arter ten, and the clock bad just struck one. The back yard was an impossibility, and but one chance re gained. There was a porch over the front Moor, the roof of which was but a few feet telo- two windows. One of them I knew vas fastened down, and the other opened from a bedroom, which might 'or might not 4e occupied. An old maiden sister of Tim's "wife had arrived on the same day, and it was very probable she was in that room : kui I knew the bed was in the comer - faT thest from the window, and hoped I shduid be able to get in without awakening her, and then I had a comparatively easy thing of it. So, getting a plank from a neighbo uring board pile, 1 rested it against the eave of, the shed, pulling off my shoes put them in my pocket, and then 'coonad up.', All right so far, but I thought it necessary, in order not to arouse anjr suspicion in the morning, to remove the plank : so dragging it up, I threw, off the end, and down it went with an awful clatter on a stray dog that had followed me for two or three squares, who immediately set up the most awful howl a whipped hound ever gave tongue to. That started half a dozen other dogs in the neighborhood barking. A mocking-bird commenced singing, as if he in ended to split his throat at it, and an old woman in her night clothes, with a caudle in her hand, uppeared at the win dow across the street 1 knew I was safe as far as she was concerned, but ij" any one came to our windows, the candle gave en ough light to very probably discover me. 'Nobody did come, however, and the bid lady, after peering up and down the street for a minute or more, popped her head in and retired. The mocking bird kept up its eternal whistle; and it was fully half tin hour before if and the dog settled down and gave me a chance to move. Creeping slowly along the wall till I reached the window, I put my hands on the sill, sprung in, and with my head and shoul ders within, and my legs hanging lout, stopped to listen. Yes, she was in that room, for I could hear her breathing. Af ter waiting for a minute I cautiously drew up one leg, then the other, slewed them round, and pulling them down to the floor, was just conscious that I had stepped s on something soft and yielding, and was about -withdrawing them, when another yell broke out at my feet, the old maid jumped up from her bed, crying 'Murder, murder,' and the dogs and the mocking-bird started agajayol saw through it all ; 1 had 'put my foot Iri 'it' more ways than one. A lit tle lt kfty3vtts lying on ber back under the windowjuvl I had stepped on her face, and, of course, woke her up. I decided in a flash what to do. The house would be aroused, and I caught, to a certainty, un less I could get to my room before the gov ernor was up. But 1 had'nt a moment to lose, for the little njgger was yelling, and the woman screaming : so I started for the door, made three steps, and struck a chair . tumbled over, of course made the aw fullest racket you ever heard of, in the dead hour of night,' in a peaceable bouse, the nigger and the old maid screaming lou der than ever; the mocking bird whistled like a steam engine, and the dogs fairly made chorus as loud as Julien's. 'I reached the door, however, swiftly and quietly op-ened it, and just got out in time to see the old gentleman open his door, , with a candle in bis hand, and come hur Tying up the stairs, rsot a moment was to be lost. jTbere was a wardrobe near where I stood, and I sprang behind it. Up came the governor, reached the door, opened it, went in, and in the meantime there was all sorts of confusion and inquiry down stairs - as to what was the matter. Nobody else came up though, and from where I stood I heard every word of inquiry ar.d explana tion in the room. Of course they could'nt make much out of it. lhe little darkey was too frightened and too sound asleep at the time to understand the truth, and the upshot of the business was, that tbey con eluded she had been dreaming, and the . governor, after giving her a good spanking and explaining the matter to the aroused neighbors, .from the window, went down to bis room again. ? 'So far, so good. I now had to go down stairs, reach the back door, unbar it, get jnto the yard, make for my room, which was in me second story of a back .building that stood unconnected with, and about a dozen yards from the main one. After giving everybody another half hour ta set tie down again, I started. Boys, did "you ever try to go up or down a pair of stairs, at midnight, without makms a noise? ,. You may try all sorts of ways, but every . ;siep is sure to cracK, each with a peculiar ' jaoise of its own, and loud enough, you are certain to wake up everybody. I had got ten nearly to the bottom, when a little dog arae trotting along the entry toward me jrelling furiously. A suppressed 'come ere Zip, silenced him. for he recognized Jtne ; but the dog started the mocking bird, and the dogs in the neighborhood having learned to take ma cue, ot course, an join ed chorus for the third lime. 'I ran alon? the Dassasre. reached the door, unlocked it, just as the governor ar oused the second time, opening his door, and seeing a man escaping from the house Y back wa-y-of course, cried-r-tbieves, iuu:ve, una maae a rush after me. I was too quick for him thourh nn.. thadnnr. sprang out, broke for the door which open- ra,uwluD.u oeiow mine, and bad just reacucu ii, wnen crash l within a foot , oft my neaa went a one, and another voice , mat, i Knew ueiongea to our next door neighbor, Tompkins, joined the governor in tbe cry of- 'Thieves ! thieves J murder ! thieves P I was safe though. Rushing up stairs, I shelled myself quicker than fever did before or since, and was in bed and sound asleep in less than half a minute Wasn't there a row, though t J never heard so many dogs before, the mocking bird, of course, outdoing all previous efforts; the chickens even began to crow. Tomp kins, next door, was halIooing--tThieves r and calhnff 'the governor. l could near screams and all sorts of talking and noises among the neighbors, until at length the old eentleman's voice was hearl in the yard, calling 'Tom ! Tom !' - 'Tom was sound asleep, snoring i ' 'Tom,' cried the old man. in a voice that would have roused a man from an epileptic fit. 'I judged it prudent to wake then, and jumping from my bed. raised the window, and rubbing one eye, ana loOKiag particu larly frightened (whicn l was) asked : Why, father, what in the world's the matter?' : ' . . .! There's thWves in the house,' was the ' reply. 'Get your gun arid come down and be quick r He's in the room below you, 1 om,' n al lowed Tompkins. 'I'm certain of it I saw him as he ran down, and threw -a hre bncc at him. I know he didn t pass that door, Mr Jones.' I was directed to look out for myself;' the governor stood sentinel at the door be- low, armed with a club, while Tompkins had five minutes to collect aid from the neighbors, and in less than half that, so thoroughly was every house alarmed, there were a dozen or more men in the yard, ar med with guns, pistols and sticks. 'The governor led the attack. Open ing the door, he called out 'Come out here, you house-breaking scoundrel. if you attempt to run or resist, I'll blow your brains out 1' Nobody come, however. 'Watch the door, while I go-in ;' and I ' was told to 'look sharp,' and shoot the ras cal if he came up stairs. A momentary search was sufficient to satisfy everybody that the thief was not m lh room 'He's up stairs, then,' cried Ton:pirt! ; 'for I'll take my Bible onib he didn't p-is that door. 'So up stairs they trooprd, but I had Sit a candle by that time, and there whs ho bugbear there; the strictest search,. even in looking under a bifot jack, din'i show the faintest trace of him The yard was next examined, then the house, and eyerybo ly being tolerably well satisfied that he hail escaped, the neighbors dispersed to their several homes, but 1 was appointed as sen tinel for the rest of the night, and ordere I not to go to sleep on my pos, under penal ty of flogging. 'The articles missing, on a thorough il yestigation next day, were two pits and the old lady's silver thimble. The thimble turned up in a week or two, being discov ered under the carpet, but the pies have never been accounted for to tins day. On oath, I could hare given vry material ev idence as to the disposition of the stolen property; but as the case didn't come be fore any court, I remained quiet.' 'Didn't the local editors loom, though ? One of them elongated himself through a quarter of a column, and headed the item : 'A Diabolical and Atrocious Attempt .t Burglary and Murder 1' describing with graphic particulars, the fiendish attempt to throttle Miss r and her servant, com plimented the 'coolness, and resolution of R. Tompkins, Esq.,' and perotated with n withering anathema on the want of vigi. lance displayed by the police. 'It was fun for me to see with what wide awake sagacity the watch used to stop at the front door and listen, in their nightly rounds, for a month after; and you couldn't have bribed a youngster to go un-, der the porch, on any account, after dark. The excitement died away, though, after a while ; but I'll never forget the night I tried to get in 'without making a noise.' SAD OCCURRENCE. A sad and melancholy occurrence took place in Henrico county Vir., on Saturday last, which it is feared will result in the death of one of the ladies. Mrs. Martha E. Stevens h d paid a visit to one of her neighbors, and while there, Mis3 Sarah Garrison, the lady on whom she had cal led, look a pistol in her hand and left the house to shoot a bird for a sick cmld, Mrs. Stevens accompanying her. While the two were in the yard, they saw some one approaching them, when Mi3s Garrison at tempted to conceal the pistol behind her, but in doing so the cock caught in the folds of her dress, throwing the hammer and causing an immediate explositiua, lodging the entire load in Mrs. Stevens side. . The Dispatch says Dr. Royster was sent lor at once, and did all he could to re lieve thesufferings of the unfortunate lady, out learrare entertained that the injuries received are beyond the power of medical skill to heal them. A DELICATE OPERATION f- m : r J - i ut. mercier euecieu u inuaipn in in surgical art yesterday in in the case of a negro who was suffering from enlargement of the jaw bone Many distinguished members of the profession were present and expressed Mbeir delight at the masterly manner in which the operation was. con sumoiatetl. The flesh was removed, flap wise, upward and downward; the tonjue disengaged from the lower jaw, and then the saw brought into requisition. Great care was necessary to avoid the incision of some important artery, but at last the diseased portion was removed and there is every likelihood of the patent's speedy re covery. A his is one ot the r re operations which requires the nicest skill, the stead lest hand, and the coolest bead to effect the object without injury to the sufferer. I he success of Dr. Mercier was complete jV. O. Delta, 13A. - DISTRESSING CALAMITY.
