HIGHWAY ROBBERIES IN KENT.—Within a
short period highway robberies have become frequent in
this county, and two daring ones were committed on the
sth. On that afie noon, about two o'clock, a middle-aged
woman, of the name of Banbridge, was returning from
Chatham to her residence near the Blue Bell lan, on the
Maidstone-road, and when near the Dog Kennel, a short
distance from Chatham, she was stopped by fuur men with
crape over the'r faces, and robbed of her basket, containing
provisions. They also cut her pocket off, and stole her
wedding-ring from her fiager, using, at the same time,
most awful threats. The plunderers, it is to be re-
gretted, escaped with impunity. Another highway rob-
bery was committed by a young man on the person of Tho-
mas Clarke, a labouring man, upwards of 70 years. o!d,
when returning from work, on the evening of the sth.
The poor old man was attacked in Long Bush Wood, near
West Well, by the ruffian, who, after beating him about
the head, took from his pocket an old silver watch, maker's
name Francis Crow, Feversham, No. 217, his canvas
purse, containing two half-crowns, two shillings, and a
sixpence, and three small keys, &c. The robber was of
florid complexion and good features, about twenty years of
age, and about five feet six inches high. He was dressed
in a brown frock coat and trousers. It is to be hoped the
villain will be secured.

A SENSIBLE LITTLE BOY.—A friend of Mr.
Cartwright, the celebrated dentist, took his son to have
his mouth inspected by that able artist, who, with wonder-
ful celerity, removed seven of the boy's first teeth. Upon
the boy crying out with surprise, and a little pain, Cart-
wright said, '= Never mind it, Johnny, your teeth will come
again." Johnny, with tears in his eye=, inquired,
they come again before dinner, Mr. Cartwright ?—Bent-
