Fate Of a Robber and his Wie.-We
translate the following from late French
paper.-An individual passing through the
wood in the department of Langres, was
stopped by man with pistol in his hand,
who demanded his purse or his life; the
traveller gave him twelve francs, affirming
that he had no more in his possession. The
robber took the money and the stranger
fled from him with all possible speed, trem-
bling with fear, but Notwithstanding well
satisfied with escaping on such good terms.
He soon arrived at a farm, where he
thought himself secure he claimed the
hospitality Of the inmate, after relating the
unfortunate adventure, and imprudently adj
ded that he had succeeded in concealing a
large sum of money from the rapacity of
the robber. The mistress of the house then
alone, offered him an asylum, and told him
he should sleep in the hayloft; this offer
was accepted with gratitude, the traveller
preferring TO lodge badly, to running any
more risk by going further. He had scarce.
| ly entered the hayloft when the master Of
the house arrived the latter announced tc
ms wife that fortune had been TIM, time uri.
favorable to him; that he had only met
With one stranger from whom he had oh.
tanned IL francs.
The woman Immediately knew that the
person she had sheltered was the individual
her husband had robbed, and she disclosed to
himwhat had passed during the absence ofthe
robber, and they agreed that the man should
mount the hayloff while the stranger was
asleep, and precipitate him into the under
apartment where the woman was to stand
prepared with Ratchet ready to despatch
him. Fortunately for the stranger he over.
heard every word of this conversation, and
kept himself on his guard, for the moment
the robber should approach him; this hap
pened very short time afterwards, wher
the stranger pretended to have fallen asleep
On the robbers approach, the traveller
struck him violent blow on the head with
a stick, which had the effect of precipita
ting him into the room below, where the
wife with single blow, severed the hea(
from the body. The stranger made his es
cape, and on his arrival to the next village
denounced the woman. She was after
wards arrested, and executed for the muir
der of her own observation-disclosures Ga

phcated in Texas. He married Spanish
lady OF property, native Of Alverado,
and through that marriage obtained the
first part of the estate called Manga
de Clavo, five leagues from Vera Cruz.
He has three fine children, yet quite
young.
The following striking anecdote of Santa
Anna illustrates his peculiar quickness
and management: During the revolution
Of 1929, while he was shut up in Oxaca.
and surrounded by the government troops,
and reduced to the utmost straits for the
want ofmoney and provisions, having very
small force, there had been ia consequence
ofthe siege and firing every day through
the streets, no mass for several weeks.
He had no money, and hit upon the follow
ing expedient to get it: he took possession
ofone of the Converts, got hold ofthe ward
robe ofthe friars, dressed his officers and
some of the soldiers in it, and early in the
morning had the bells rung for mass. Peo-
pie delighted in having again an opportuni.

house was pretty well filled, his friars

pected denoeument there was tremendu.
Gus shrieking, when one of his officers as.
cended the pulpit and told the people thai
he wanted $4,000, and must have it. He
finally succeeded in getting about $500
when he dismissed the congregation.

h.. Mad,son-The Late presiaent Mad

Mr.. Mad,son.-The late President Mad
ison was born on the 18th of March, l751,
and was consequently in the seth year of
his age at the time of his decease. He was
member of the Virginia Legislature in
IT'S, and Of the council of that state in
l776. He was subsequently chosen to the
congress of the revolution. Six days ad-
ded to his life, would have carried him to
the 18th of July, on which memorable day,
all his predecessors died, with the exception
Of Washington. The proud, but melan-
choly list, now stands as follows:
George Washington, died 10 Dec. 1899,
aged, 90.
John Adams, died 4th July, 1926, aged
OIL.
Thomas Jefferson, died 4th July, 1926,
aged "a.
James Monroe, died 4th July, 1881, a
ged 10.
James Madison, died June %, 1886, a.
ged S5.
The average age of the five is 80 years
and fraction. John Quincy Adams is
the only Ex-President who survives.
The end of Mr.. Madison was visibly APP
preaching for some days before, and such as
that of such great and good man ought to
be. His faculties undimmed to his latest
hour, he expired without struggle, free
| from regret and from Cause of reproach.
His remains were inferred at the family
vault at Montpelier, on the thirtieth June, a
mid the tears of an aflectionate family and
sorrowing neighborhood.- Y. Com. Ad.
