DARING ROBBERY, AND EFFECTUAL
RESISTANCE.
New York. Mondoy, March 2ud, 1874


To the editors Of the Commercial Advertiser
Your reporters account ofthe "daring rob-
berry" committed in my house on Friday eve
ming last differed so essentially ii all its rela =
tions from the facts, as they occurred, that
am induced to lay them before you as they
actually happened, and if the public should
derive any Interest or profitable lesson from
the narration, shall be happy in having obli-
ged them.
Al about halfpast IL O'Clock was awakened
from sleep, in the conviction that some living
movement was in my bedroom, and near my
bed. Every muscle was put at rest, and the
ewes and ears only in eager inquiry for the
object The blood al first rushed So rapidly
by my cars into the brain, that both sight and
sound were deceptive but as the circulation
grew calm both senses improved, and finally
saw, as in a mist of thick darkness, the figure
Of man exactly before my face, and within
reach Of my hand.
NV first thoughts were employed in deyising
means Of escape, and | resortcd to the strata
gem of eleyalng the bed clothes on my feet

LEFT the room, without even closing the doors
after me, and made the best OF nv way down
stairs. and was much surprised To fad 10y exit
defeated by a guard placed inside the front
door which led 10 the street. Wishing TO
avoid collision with this man, continued down
the next stairway TO the basement, and here
found another guard posted behind this door
Here my means OF escape being entirely cut
on. nv cowardice failed me as being no longer
available, and well knowing that these men
had too much sagaciiy TO leave me able to
sound the alarm on their retreat, the courage
that came was no, tho courage of a brave man.
but courage resulting from desperate oiroum-
stances. and poised my weapon with deadly
aim at the only object that prevented my es-

Tuesday, March Sd
In the Senate this morning, the report of
the select committee on the question of as
sumption was again discussed, and hopes were
entertained that it would soon be brough, to a
close. Mr.. Calhoun and Mr. Webster were
the principal speakers. The Tariff question
was brought into the debate, and in the course
of which, in reply to Mr. Webster, Mr.. Cal
houn manifested more OF that spirit Of ooncil-
alton and compromise on that great topic than
we have heretofore noticed for long time.
In the House, after the transaction of some
other unimportant business, Mr. Jones made
an appeal to the House to take up the bill CON
tanning the office ofCommissioner of Pensions
stating that the office would expire the next
day by It's own limitation. The bill subso-
quently was passed and sen, to the Senate 49,
BY this bill the salary is reduced from $4,000
to $500.
The mail last night brought our New York
files of papers to Saturday, and Washington
dates to Thursday.
In the Senate on Wednesday, March 4, me-
MORALS were presented from various sources,
praying Congress to pass an uniform Bankrupt
Law.-lWe were about to give some further

The House, again called up the hacknied
subject of assumption, but it was passed over
without spending quite the whole day, and an

would not listen to it,

Mr.. Stacy, Dear Sir-rhe body of man
was discovered yesterday, lying in the woods,
about mile north of this village, and about
half mile east ofthc stage road. The body
had the appearance Of having laid there or 3
months. lie had on new broadcloth Claret
coat, with figured buttons, dark colored vest,
and black fulled cloth pantaloons, and pair
OF coarse shoes were found near him. About
10 rods farther into the woods, was found a
small bundle containing a shirt, marked :.
(Which correspondent with the one on his per-
SOM it had also one or two false bosoms, with
cheap breast pin in one Of them, and check
cravat. There was found near the place an
old white hat. A few rods further into the
wooda, we found a note, drawn by f.. Is. Par
ker, payable to Jacob Leach, dated Hubbard
ton,-ls3S, Il forget the monthly for S26, with
an endorsement OF Ssll, dated at Middlebnry,
Aug. 1899. Should think the man was 35
years old, of short stature, with black hair
If you will insert the above, his friends may
be able TO identify him by the description.
Yours Truly,
II. S. MORSE, p. NJ.
The name Of the deceased is HEwIN SAT-
FORD. He had been at work in Rutland Co.
the summer past, and was on his way to visit
a sick father in Canada He left Middlebury
on inc 4th Dec.-Stald AT NefSenncS the nlg1t
OF the iih-was at Charlotte Four Corners al
noon on the 9Th, ard left there for Sheburn a
little past two p. Mater which nothing was
known of him until found as above stated. A
jury of inquest was held upon the body on
Monday last, and after proracted and thor
ongh investigation, the jury came unanimous
ly TO the conclusion that the deceased came to
his death in consequence of blows inflicted up
on ms head, by some person unknown. There
is no room TO doubt that the man was deliber-
ately murdered in cool blood, and that for the
sake OF a little paliry plumber, as the body had
been robbed of the cloak, boots, hat, watch, a
set of spoons, and a few dollars in money. -
An old hat and pair of shoes were found
near by-probably the ones left by the muir
derer. The people of Shelburn and vicinity
are unceasng in their efforts to ferret out the
culprit; but as yet, we re bound to believe
nothing has come to light TO fix a reasonable
suspicion on any individual. For reasons moi
necessary to mention, we omit any further de-
tails this week, but will recur to the subject
hereafter.
