Furley (search for this): article 1
House breaking --The residence of Mr. Furley, on 3d street, was entered last Monday night, and robbed of a number of articles of wearing apparel. Mrs. F. was in her dining room at the time the robber entered, and hearing a noise in her chamber, above her, went up to ascertain the cause. The thief on hearing her approach beat a hasty retreat, and succeeded in shutting the front door in her face, thus preventing recognition. A negro girl was suspected of being the guilty party, and the police soon after arrested her, but found none of the missing articles in her possession. As she was going at large, the Mayor ordered her detention.

The Confederate partisans had burned two schooners transporting cattle to Bayon LaCombe, near Manchaca. The pickets on the road reported that Taylor had whipped Franklin, on the 11th, at the mouth of Red river, driving him back to his gunboats, and on the 12th shelled Baton Rouge.
