STOP THE ROBBERS!
$lOO REWARD!

The subscriber returning from
Baltimore, was waylaid by two rnfli-
ans, about 7 O'Clock, on Friday evening
the 10Th inst. near the Hanging Rock,
on the North Western Turnpike Road,
about two miles below the Tavern OF
Col. Charles Blue, and after knocking
me off my horse and one holding me
oy the throat, they succeeded in taking
from me my pocket book containing
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
-Thirly.nine Fifty Dollar Bills on
the Bank ofthe United States, payable
at Baltimore, and the balance of the
money was in small Notes on different
Banks, but principally Valley money.
| have no recollection Of the appear.
ance or dress of these villains ; but am
inclined 10 the opinion that they must
have been the same persons who were
seen passing house by female, about
half mile from the place where this
hellsh deed was committed, fifteen or
twenty minutes prior to my passing.
She describes the dress Of these two
individuals as having on-one Blue
Frock Coat and pantaloons, and the
other Blue Close. bodied Coat and
pantaioons. The same individuals
were noticed by others residing below
along the turnpike road during that
day, and concur in the opinion as TO
dress as described-and from inquiry,
| have not been able to hear Of any
such men having passed above where
this truly un(ortunate-ye. fiendish
act, was perpetrated. l am therefore
inclined to the opinion that those per-
sons were the robbers. One of them,
| understand, carried small bundle.-
Their weapons were green chestnut
clubs, as they we're found on the next
morning at the place. The above re
ward will be given for the apprehension
of the villains, as also, suitable com.
pensation for recovery of the money,
or any portion oft.

important part oft:
"The pirate who died, and the facts
of whose case came into my possession
was BY the name of FOSTER. He
was without family, and kept groe
shop. He was taciturn and silent In
bis disposition. He for some time be-
fore his death, grew gradually more in

sailor, of having been much at sea
or, as the phrase goes, of having "seef
