Theplucky struggle made by Mrs. Crosby, of .Throgli Neck, New York, against a burglar several nights ago was an illustration of woman's ability to defend herself in case ef emergency. Mrs. Crosby had no assisteatee whatever, her pistol being unloaded and her dog being called away by the frightened children, but she fought the intruder—a soldier—with 'such arms as nature hacl provided, and filially she threw the riiffien downstairs and drove him away. Such experiences are net pleasant; e strong Man would prefer to avoid any such struggle even by daylight ; but as women as well as men are liable to ,encounter burglars at unexpected times it will be well for them to remember Mrs. Crosby's victory and that what woman has done woman can do. , There is but one adverse criticism to be made upon Mrs. Crosby's defence of -her home—her pistol was unloaded, but it ie safe to believe that it never again will be 80,' and that other ladies who are provided with firearms will eee that the weapons are ready for lase against burglars. 1 Etteetive Work. , The following specifie, information, im- parted by thoroughly reliable people will convey a clearer idea ,than any ainoune of abstract reference, hew 'certain desirable results are being accomplished.
