Litchfield enquirer., 1833-09-26


 On reaching Philadelphia, the capt. sent a man to follow him and see where he Iodged, and communicate the information to one of the police officers. strict watch was ac. cOrdingly kept over him, and it was soon as- certained that he was accompanied by three others ofthe same character, his father, brOth- CT, and brOtlleF-in-law, whose name was Da- wis. They were not however arrested until Monday morning, when they were on the point of embarking for Baltimore, and the whole squad being taken before the Mayor, with the exception of Davis, who succeeded in escaping, and their baggage being searched, | all the imple ments for coining half dollars were found, together with quantity of spu. riOms money aDd six thousand and ten dollars on the Girard and United States Banks, which latter were supposed to be part of the pro ceeds of the forged checks passed last week on three of the Philadelphia Banks. The two young Drew are we'll known in this city, hay l ing been confined in Bridewsll here, about | four months, on suspicion of having been con cerned in the counterfeiting business, hut were discharged in July last for want of testimony 1 against them. They will also. perhaps, be recollected by Messrs. Jacob Little & Co.,, | Brokers tn Wall-street, on whom, as IS said by old Hays, they passed Uf last week, two one thousand dollar counterfeit notes on the Gi- rard bank, for which they received in exchange the real stuff Davis had in his possession when he escaped, .S70OO in good money. no doubt the proceeds of frauds committed by the whole famiIy.-N Y Standard.
 1 Affection of. f.Birds.-The ing curious facts may suggest thought for the naturalist. A young robin was last year caught and do- mesticated by MT. Eaton, living a few doors | from us, which has ever since been kept in a cage. few weeks since one of his boys th0ughtlessiy captured and brought home a whole nest of small young robins, three in number, less than half grown and placed them in the cage with the old robin, who at ! first seemed startled and alarmed at this un- | ceremonious intrusion, but soon became rec ] onciled to the little strangers: and as if pity ing their helpless condition, soon began to feed them as her own. One ofthe three was small CT and feebIer than the rest. With this she commenced her charities. and confined them to this alone for one or two days, feeding it with whatever food she was supplied with herself. She then adopted the whole as her own, and seems to manifest the same anxiety and care for them. as she would have done, had they been matched by her, always impart- ing food to them before partaking of it her. 1 self. and evincng toward them maternal fond- ness.-Lynn Record.
 OutrGge.-We are informed by person recently from Poughkeepsie, that an act of great violence was committed at the hotel of MT. Hatch in that village on Sunday the 8th inst. A person residing at Newburgh, whose name we do not reeoAect. but who has rank ed among the wealthy and respectable ofthat place, disguised himself in military dress and went to Mir. Hatch's where he engaged room, and having fixed things to his mind sent fnr Dr. Westlake Ga dentist) also of respecta-' ble standing, against whom, it seems, he har- bored deep resentment. As 5000 as Dr. Westlake opened the door the other locked it, at the same moment securing the key. He then took an anonymous letter from his pock- ct and asked his prisoner if he had written it. Dr.. Westlake immediately replied that he had not. He then asked if he would give writ ten certifcate, to that effect, which the doctor refusing to do he seized whip which he had in preparation and began to ply it most un- mercifn!ly upon the poor doctor, who being unproVided with any weapon, whilst his an- tagonist was armed with dirk aad pistols, we believe made no resistance, but only cried for help. A crewd soon pressed up stairs and de- manded admittance, hut the lagellator refus- ed to open the door till he had beaten him to his hedrts coatent, when he complied with their demand, Kicking out the young sufferer | before him, without the least resistance from the bystanders. He then went to Mir. Hatch and paid his bill, and thence to the river, where he embarked without opposition, on his re. turn home. An officer was, however. after.
 ward sent to apprehend him, when he gave himself up and offered bonds for his appear ance at court, which were accepted. Dr.,
 Westlake is represented as being seriously in. Jured, but we believe no! dangerously.
 l Westchesfer Spv AdUertisements.-T To advertisements, all pub. fishers look for the means to meet large portion of the heavy expenses of their bus- ness, and the price of their paper is regulated accordingly. When this expectation is dis. appointed, the business is losing one, and on this account, papers are frequently dscontin- 1 aed. As to the matter of Advertisements, they inform the public where the cheapest of every thing is to be had-they are a picture of the great world-its bustle-ts business it's fortunes-and its reverses. The prosper. l ity of One-the adversity of another-are ex- hibited in their advertisements, and the per-
