Catch thief.
--On Saturday night last, about 9 o'clock, as a gentleman named Gordon was passing down Main street, near 19th, with his overcoat thrown over his shoulder, a negro stepped up behind him, and, snatching the garment, made off as fast as his legs could carry him. The gentleman started in pursuit, and crying "stop thief," was soon joined by a party of lads, who pushed the rogue so close that he had to drop the coat to save his hide.
A pistol ball, well directed, would have proved a far more efficacious pursuer, and might have prevented further depredations.
