MOST DARING ROBBERY.

On Saturday evening last another Of
those bold robbcrieS which are much
too frequent in our county was per
petrated on the property of Mr.. Will
liam Mulford, who resides about five
miles southeast from this vill.gc, when
about $500 dollars in bills and specie
(but principally $40 bills on the Cats
kill bank were carried away by the
scoundrcls. About ten O'Clock in the
evening, as Mr.. Milford and his fami-
ly were preparing for rest, noise was
heard at the door which was followed
by rap, upon which a man employed
by Mr.. milford went to the door. AS
soona as he opened it three men rushed
in, armed with knives and pistols, one
of whom seized him by the collar and
pushed him back into the room to a
chair, and told him to sit down. Mr..
Milford, who had lain down, was
awakened by the noise, and immedia-
tely rose and inquired what was the
matter, when two of them stepped up
to him and, brandishing their knives
and pistols at his breast, commanded
him to be quiet and silent. They thus
stood guard over him while the third
proceeded to ransack the house in
search for money. After upturning
nearly everything and satisfying them
selves that they had got possession of
all they would be likely to, they depar-
ted, compelling Mr.. M. to go out be-
fore them. and taking with them his
rifles, which they had taken the pre-
caution TO secure on their entrance into
the house, and which have not since
been found, Notwithstanding they
promised to leave them in a certain
spot.
Suspicion resting on some persons
living near the Pekatonic river, by
the names of Mumford Frost, Giles
Rhoades, Alva Trask, and Levi Trask,
they were arrested and brought before
Justice Wheeler for examination
The evidence adduced was such as to
lead to the belief that Frost and
Rhoads were participators in the THEFT,
and they were accordingly required to
give bonds of $500 each for their ap-
pearance at the next term of the Cir
curt Court. The two Trasks were ac-
quilted. +,
A reward of 500 has been offered
for the detection Of the thieves and the
recovery of the money.
We also learn that several roooer-
les have been committed in different
ncighboraoods along the Pekatonlc
river. If the vigilance of the civil au-
thority is not sufficient to protect the
property of our citizens, and to pre-
vent the successful operations of these
marauders, we trust they will yet re-
ceiye a more summary, but not less
merited punishment, while engaged in
the very committal of their deprcda-
t;ons TRockford Forum.

ADVICE TO WHIGs AND Locos.-Tb,
editor Of the Massachusetts Poughman, al
able neutral paper gives the following ad-
vice to both parties:-Enq
Mr. Polk is elected, and some may say

The Law OF MARRIAGE IN A1An.n.
,l-Thc opinion Of the Supreme Cour, Of
Alabama in our paper to day, settles an
important principle in relation to the valid.
'ty OF the forms, without the legal sanction
Of marriage. The question presented bv
the record was whether such conspiracy
had been proved as was punishable by law.
Several persons combined to accomplish n
wicked purpose. They forged marriage
license, showed it to the young lady and
her parents, as evidence Of The good faith Of
the suitor; and one Of his associates falsely
represented himself to be a Justice Of the
Peace, authorized to perform the rites. Of

1t is the duty Of the Wings 10 stand

and their name-togu over 10 no ner

duce other parties to come over TO them.
They are great and powerful, though
a defeaIed party. They hold strong
maj rrities in some Of the largest States
of Union; they run neck AMI neck with
their opponents in others; and they
man(rlly con'eS, every State. Their
principles are good, their cause is just.
and their aim is the prosperity Of the
country. Does an adverse result alter
these principles and change the nature
of that cause? Surely not. In 1910.
the Locoiocos were routed horse foot
and Dungeons. The States AMI he
people were against them every where
and yet they rallied, they re.organ-
lied. they confended, they persevered
and they again have the control of the
