~t e
for money. stolen, from his money

tected,and confessed the theft. - • •

A Loug Chase.
On Wednesday evening Dr. Smith, of
Tempsranditville, had a valuable buffalo
robe stolen ircim his, buggy which had
been left standing In front of a house on
the - Washington Turnpike, a short dis :
tanoe outside tint borough limit*, ,
: he was inside making a.professional
visit. A barouohe'drawn by two horses,
and occupled,by two young men and Hc.
companied by females had passed the
house a short time before the loss
was discovered, and the Doctor •at
once started in pursuit, suspecting
the parties tcrhave beettooncernedip the
disappearance of the article. He over
took them a short distance from the
house, but thought it best to follow after,
supposing thilt, they . would halt at some
livery stable in Pittsburgh , where the'
• property might be secured without dif
ficulty. The parties -in the barbuche
soon became aware of the position of
affairs and oommenced a series of stra-
'gene xuanoevers to mislead theLr pur
suer. Whipping up their horsos, they
down into South Pittsbargh,whence they
made a long detour of Coal Hill and
passed into Birmingham,
and thence'
over the Birmingham bridge into Pitts
burgh. After traversing all the prlncl
:pal streetikand,alleye InPittsbirgli f they;
crossed over the suspension bridge into
'Allegheny, outilbonteiX miles over the
New Brighton road and returned, and
finally, after passing over nearly-all the
leading thoroughfares , cf Allegheny, give,
their prisoner the slip and disappeared
from his , sight. The route travelled
over altogether could not have been
niuch Jess. than eighteen miles. Af-
I ter losing sight -of them Mr. Smith
called at the toll houses of the different
bridges leading into Pittsburgh . from
'Allegheny, but could obtain no clue of
their route again. He also called at'the
livery stables = Allegheny,. but the'
proprietors stated that no vehicle an
swering the thisoritition glVen had been
hired out of their establishments during
the day.or evening: During the whole
time the pursued party allowed no op-,
portunity toksicur for beinWintensepted,
but' kept the horses on, a trot, except
when their pursuer fell, behind. After,
continuing the search until nearly four
O'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Smith
gave it up and returned hotne, conclud
ing to let the affair either deyelop Itself
or the thieves go unpunished.
Point StFeet,Agatn.
,
Point street.has again been figuring i n,
police annals, by reason of a xi:asunder=
standing between...the , Long .and Patch
families, residing thereon. The origin,
Cif 'the affair u not exactly known, but
in its progrees,..according to the state
ments of Mary retch, Maty Long became
'so deruonstrittive as to , attract the atten
tion of the entire neighborhood, who
were disgusted ,with hqr disorderly con-,
duct. Lawrence Long, according to the
same authority, also made himself ob
noxious by threats of personal violence
to her, which sbe is afraid he may yet
carry into execution. In self defense,
therefore, Mary called •at Alderman
Lynch's office yesterday and lodged in
formation against Mrs. lking for disor
derly conduet, and against Mr.tlting for
surety of the peace, upon which war.
rants were issued.
