ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT
 WiLLIMANTIC, CONN. UF

We learn by gentleman from Willimantic, that a series of depredations have been committed upon most of the merchants in that village for some two years past-and that, about midnight, on Saturday week, gentleman was in the street for board to lay out corpse on, when he discovered light in of the stores, which led to the detection of the robber. He went to the store and opened the door, on which the light was immediately extinguished. Calling and obtaining no answer, he communica- ted the circumstances to the owner of the store.- Coming closely on the track the thief, induced immediate and thorough search to be made. Sus- picion rested on an individual who had lived in the village for some time with no employment or other ostensible means of maintenance, named Asa Spi- cer. On searching his premises, about $si00 worth ofgoods were found in apotato bin, and $S200 worth more under the floor and elsewhere. A proposi- ton to search the bed being overheard by his oth- er she was suddenly taken most alarmngly i'll, and threw herself upon it! She was removed, and the bed being opened, some valuable silks were found among the feathers. Burnt ends of broadcloths were found in the oven, and the smell of burnt cloth had been noticed one evening last week; so it is supposed that goods to large amount have been missing two years. It is believed he has ac- complices elsewhere, engaged in peddling or oth- erwise disposing of his booty.
 Spicer was immediately arrested; and, on being informed that keys had been found on his premi. ses to fit every store in the village, he confessed having entered all OuL one, 10 WniCn ne could not gain because the clerks slept there keeping the key turned on the inside. In the course of the night he attempted to destroy himself with two pen knives, thrusting one into each side of his neck, and though he missed the jugular vein, he bled profusely, and his situation is considered very dangerous. L...... .....s.... ''"
 The excitement in the village is immense Spi- cers parents have been arrested on suspicion of be- ing concerned in the robbery. When our inform ant left, the examination had not terminated. Spi- cers prospect is fair, however, if he lives of find ing better employment at certain industrious nsti- tuition in Wethersield. Republican Courier.
 RICH !-0ur sagacious friend of the Patriot and Eagle have made notable discovery. In stating the reasons why they will not go for Martin Van Buren for President, they say:
 " 4th Because we fully believe that at the meeting of Messrs. Clay and Van Buren at Ashland, it was corruptly agreed by them, and understood by the leaders of both parties, that other cand dates should be in the field for the office of Pres- dent except themselves, &c." ,.,...
