A Naw Phase ar Robbbby—Chiajboiobm m the Cam—A Womam js- thi* Cass.--We learn, says the Rochester Democrat, die following fact* respecting a recent robbery committed on board the Cars of the Central Railroad. On Friday last a young woman took the ears for the. West, at a station a short distance beyond Utica. Her baggage was checked for Bufialo. After proceeding a short distance uponthbjourney.a woman, who was a fellow passenger, with' an affected desire to rmieve the lon 11ness of the young lad)', took a seat with her, and became very sociable. She was in fact quite attentive, and among other marks of familiarity, ■ offered her protege her bottle of smelling salts, which was accepted] and used. Soon after inhaling the pungent odor of the vinaigrete, shej became powerfully affected by the > influence of some subtle sporific agent which it contained, and feH Wsteep. She remained ia this unconscious condition for some time, and on recovering from far stupor discovered that she had been robbed of her purse, baggage checks, <fcc.— On arriving at the Clyde station, she made kupwnthe facts to the Con* (factor, and the railroad men made up a sufficient sum to take her oa to her destination. Thu circumstance develops a new and dangerous scheme for the robbery of unsuspecting persons on the railway trains. — Doubtless, the female adept had caused her victim to inhale the v«por of chloroform, and thus had her fully in her power while she perpetrated the robbery. If they carry their operations to the extent of taking baggage also, it is a still more serious Business. Let every one be cautious about encouraging the approaches of plausible strangers on die cars. — Buffalo Commercial. New You, Feb. 8. A severe snow storm prevailed all last night, and still continues, but with less violence. It is badly drifting, blocking up the streets and railways. The steamer Pacific, which sailed from this port yesterday noon, bad to put back, and came to anchor for the night, at Gravesend Bay. She went over the bar at eleven o’clock this morning. -i-Xx,:; - The Sound atcamers have not yet made their appearance, and those which were to havo left here last night were detained by the storm. ;..
