rr From an Advertisement in to-day's
naoer. the reader will observe, that our
esleemed fellow. citizen, Mr.. JOSEPH
DORIAN, was ROBBED of THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS. on Friday
Evening week. Mr.. Doran's general
: character places this circumstance be-
yond matter of doubt. For other par
ticulars, we refer the reader to his adj
vertisement. Nothing as yet. has been
heard of the robbers in this quarter.
" We understand that owing to cir
cumstances, Judge PARKER will not be
able to open the SUPERIOR CoURT for
this county, until WEDNESDAY the goth
inst. Therefore, Sheriff., Grand Jury
men, and others interested, will please
bear this in mind and govern themselves
accordingly.
o. We would be under particular obi
cations to those indebted to US, if they
would make the approaching Court,
SUPERIOR Court to us in dlscharglng their
bills, and enable us to move onward, and
govern ourself accordingly. We hope
this hint will suffice!
% 1t is understood and expected that
Messrs. Cooke and LUCAS, the candidates
for seat in Congress, will address the
voters of this county next Monday week,
in this place, before The polls are opened.
All those, who wish to hear them, ought
be in by / l o'clock. Both parties appear
to be preparing for the contest, and as IL
sual, both calculate on success. This
county can give 1900 votes-and. be it
particularly remembered, that every vo-
ter ought to press forward to the polls
and select his men and with that indie
pendence too, republican systems Of gov
ernments require, regardless of the wish
es of office holders or Office expectants.
q The trial Of RICHARD LAWRENCE
for shooting at the President of the U.
States with intent to kill him, took place
on Saturday last, in Washington, and
ended in verdict of Nor GUILTY by
reason of the insanity of the accused.
The Court then ordered that Lawrence
should be renamed. and be made as
comfortable, and treated as we'll us his
situation would permit, until some further
provision could be made to prevent him
doing further mischief.
g Our readers will recollect we pub
lshed few weeks ago, an account of a
FEMALE, who had been tarred and feath-
cred by some monsters in human shape
in thevillage ofOrville, Cnondaga CO..
NY. From an article in late Albany
Journal. we are enabled to state, that
they were soon Unidentified, and prosecu-
tions commenced, and the causes were
to have been tried during the past month,
but were settled a short time since, by
the payment of FOURTEEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS, from the defendants, to the
victim of their barbarities.
