ROBBERY-SUlCIDE.

A highway ROBBERY occurred IN MahO-
ming township, in this county, on Tuesday
last, the particulars Of which, aud the sub
sequent suicide by the robber, have been
related to us as follows:
Mr.. B anon Ho!s,cin fell in with stran-
ger at Newcastle,a lat the tavern Of Mr. Lew
is, on Monday night. The next morning
the stranger accompanied Mr.. Holstien on
his road home, both being on horseback.
When within three or four miles from New
Bedford, the money Of Mr.. H. was deman-
ded, and TO enforce the demand pistol
was presented to his breast Mr.. Hols:ein
then sure ndered his pocket book, immedi-
ateiy after which the pistol held in the
hand Of the robber, was fired at him. The
explosion frightened the horse and Mr.. H.
was thrown to the ground. When rising,
a second pistol was discharged, the ball
from which passed through the neck Of his
horse. The robber then rode rapidly off,
The alarm having been gwen, no time was
lost in pursuit, and the robber was overta.
ken two or three miles from Youngstown,
on the Warren road. He had stopped Tor
retresll,nent and when overtaken BY his
pursuers was coming out Of the hous. end
proceeding to the stable for his horse. Il
so happened, either Ivy arrangement or nc.
cden,, that the wounded horse Of Mr.. Hol.
stein was rode by one Of the pursuers.-
Being asked by the person who first accos-
tod him. whether he knew the white horse
which was coming up, he answered that
he had seen him few miles back. lie
was then touched, and told that he vas a
/. prisoner.-Stepping back, he drew PTS
tol, and threatened 10 shoot any that
would a,temp, 10 arrest him. Still hold
ing his pistol in his hand, he rcireaicd A.
long the road for few rods, his pursuers
not liking to shoot him down, nor risk their
lives, yet following and closely surrounding
him. After passing over short distance
in this way, some Wagons were met
when one Of those engaged in the pursuit
cried on, s.stop the murderer" The rob-
Der stopped, hesitaied a moment, put his
pistol to his temple, and discharged it. He
breathed for about two hours afterwards,
but never spoke. 1t is supposed that see
ing the bloody horse of Mr.. Ho!stein, who
was not p, esent himself, and hearing him.
self called murderer, that he believed he
really had committed that crime, and thsO'
desperation took his own llfe He had no
papers on his person except receipt for
FIVE dollars, faom which it appeared that
his name was J. F. A. CALDWELL. His
clothes were marked J. CALDWELL. The
horse that he rode 10 represented to be a
fine animal, racker, Of . bay colour. The
money of Mr.. Holstein was recovered
