At about eight O'Clock, on Saturday even

Frankford was returning from Philadelphia,
with his wagon, on the Front street road,
he observed two men walking short dis
tance before him, until he approached with
in few rolls of Rose Hill Tavern, when
they turned and came towards him; as they
met, one of the men took ho,d OF the head
of the shaft horse, while the other present
ed pistol to Mr.. g. commanding him to
stop and deliver his money. Mr.. &. how
ever, tiisregarding their threats, gave the
whip to his horses, ut which they took fright,
and set off in full run. He would probably
in this way have been carried home, had not
the guide pole of the wagon broke, and the
back wheels became loose, so that he was
under the necessity Of stopping To make
some repairs. In the mean time two other
Williams came up. and i'll a friendly manner
offered their assistance. his, however,

They then enqnired Of Mr.. G.. 'e ihc frs

men-to both which queries they were an
swercd negatively They then demanded
his money, at the same time presenting some
deadly weapons, ard threatening to blow
him through If he did not deliver. hey
received positive answer that they should
not have it; upon which scutl1c cnsuc;l, IL
which one Of the desperadoes, on presenting
pistol, received a severe blow upon the
wrist from the butt end cf Il heavy whip,
which disabled MIN to such degree that
the weapon fell from his hand, and he inn

same time, struck At Mr.. G. with a ne7;
nine inch 6iaded 5Mchcr knJc, (brandet

to avoid, he received the blow on his hant.
