ROBRERY

We have been or edibIy informed
that within the last few days, a Mr..
Hartman living in this county. near
MIddieburg, has had a most daring rob.
berry committed on him the circum.
stances as represented are these. In
the afternoon Immediately preceding
the evening when the robbery was com,
mitted, Mr.. Hartman had a neiebbor
and bis wife with him on visit, at which
time a stranger called in, and after far.
rying, some time, was with the other
company invited TO take supper: after
which Mr. Hartman's neighbofs xatt
him to return home along with the stan
ger. Ga getting small distance from
the house, the stranger took road diff
ferent from that of the other persons,
and in the evening returned to Hart
mans in company with two other men.
one of whom had handkerchief drawn
over his face. The person WHO had sup.
ped with Mir. Hartman, presented two
pistols to his breast aud demanded of
him, as he valued his life, to deliver
up his money. Mr.. Hartman excused
himself oy saying that MS vile had the
keys, and retreated into the kitchen.
whittier he was followed by the individu-
al who had assaulted him, and in the
kitchen was kicked and abused by the
same person. La the mean time. the
other two broken open Mr. Hartman's
chest and robbed him of from 500 to 1000
dollars.
The circumstance OF one covering hi,
face. would indicate that he is a resi-.
dent of the neighborhood and that con.
clusiOn is furt her corroborated by tw.
men of very suspicious appearances
having been afterwards seen in different
places in the neighborhood. This is
gross violation of law and the rights and
security Of a citizen, such as is seldom
perpetrated in Frederick county. On
this occasion it may be proper therefore,
particular to enquire, what has been
the conduct of late officers of Justice
Have they been vigilant and made pro.
per efforts to arrest and bring to justic.
such daring offenderss Citizen.

Breach Of Marriage Contract.-Ann
Myres, plaintiff, VS.. William snodsrass,
defendant. The case was argued by
Watts and Allen Taylor for the plain,
tiff, and by Miller and Baldwin for the
defendant. The contract was fully pro-
we'd. The defendants ground of defence
was, that she Tad departed from virtue,
but in this he was not born out by evil
dence. 1t did indeed appear, she had
been seduced by the defendant, who pro-
duced witness to prove that she had
frequently bundled with young men, but
such was their character and manner
with but one exception, (Wilson) that
the jury did not Civ the least credit to
their testimony offered by his counsel.
The jury after consultation of a.
bout half an hour decided in favor of
the plaintiff damages three hundred
dollars. The defendants property was
supposed to be worth two thousand dol.
lars.

By the schr. Nancy, we have received
Mexican papers to the 9th March, and
we observe with pleasure, by the tone
they assume, that the despOtism of the
usurper lturbide is fast drawing tc a
close. Instead of the publications such

Extract Of letter front a respectable

house at Belfast, ireland, March 4.
"For some time past manufacture
has been carrying on here and in Eng
land to an amazing extent, in an article
initiating Irish Linens, &C. the warp of
cotton, and the welt or filling, linen
thread when bleached, so great is tie
deception that it can only be detected
by trying the strength of the arti-
Gle from selvage to selvage, when it
will be found to tear with ease, which
is exactly the reverse of cloth composed
entirely of flax. AS the character of
our staple may suffer by goods of the "a
bove description, think it would be
just to put dealers in the article of Irish
linens on your side of the Atlantic on
their guard, to prevent their being im>
posed on.
