CITY INTEIJlGFNCE

sIfeSled J0F ntedHhS interesting mClden.-
Some two weeks since a German family, aboat
emigrating to the West from Philadelphia, had
their trunk broken open at the railroad depot
in that city, and robbed of German coin and
five franc pieces to the amount Of one or two
thousand dollars. Every effort was made on
the part Of the railroad company and the police
generally to ferret out the perpetrator in vain.
On Friday last however, officer James Young,
Lieutenant of the police of Philadelphia, and so
well known for his tact in managing such mat
tiers, came to this city, and enlisted the valua-
bic aid OLA, g. RidgeIy, of the police firm of
Hays, Zell, Ridgely and Cook, and yesterday
they succeeded in arrcsting two persons charged
with the robbery, and recovered about 5000 of
the money and quantity Of new wearing ap-
parel in their possession, supposed to have
been purchased out of the money thus stolen
| They were taken before Walton Gray, ESQ
and after an examination ordered to prison.
After they had been handcutfed, one of the
persons arrested-a young man, who seemed
all the while deeply troubled-proteSted his
innocence and wept most piteously, at the sight
of which the other, with an eagerness of man
ner and earnestness of speech, that bore
such strong resemblance to truth as to force
conviction that it was not teigned, confessed
the robbery, declared the entire innocence of
the young man, and implored that the irons
might be taken off, and the young man set
at liberty. The name of the young man
we deem it prudent not to give, as he
was seduced INTO bad association through
the other, according to his confession-which
was voluntary. The young man was dis
charged. The name of the other is John Rine-
doller, who was committed to JAIL to await
requlsiton from the Governor of Pennsvlva-
mia.
