An incident was related to a reporter of the Statesman, yesterday, of some doings of the gang of burglars who have, for the past ten or twelve days, been having a sort of carnival in Austin. Two or three nights ago, the junior member of a family living north of the capitol, thought she heard someone in the house, and knowing the city was infested with burglars, very naturally became greatly alarmed. But to be certain she allowed her husband to sleep and waited for further developments. She was not long kept in suspense, as the noises became louder and apparently were much nearer than when she was first awakened. Presently she heard the rattling of dishes; she could bear it no longer, so she nudged her husband, and getting him awake, she told him of all that had happened. He arose quickly, and throwing aside the curtains to his sleeping room window beheld a brace of fellows seated at his table, enjoying themselves over the cold victuals left over from supper. The had deliberately lighted the dining room lamp, opened the cupboard, set the table and were just "pitching in" to a hearty supper. The gentleman of the house raised his window, to pounce upon the intruders, but they were too quick for him, as they both escaped by the open window through which they had entered before he could reach them.
