a Tack uPoN STAGE RoBngRs.-Therc
have lately been number Of robbcrics Of trunks
from the stage between Erie and Wesifcld, N.
Y. A novel plan was hit upon last week 10y Mr.
5. Clarke, the agent at the latter place, for cap
turing the rascals who committed the dcpreda-
tons The Fredohia Censor says, that on Thurs
day night last as the stage was about 10 leave
Westfcld for Northeast, unbcknown to the dri-
yer or passengers, he was safely bueklcd into
the hind boot among the trunks, aud, thus placed
in ambush, started Off The stage had proceed
cd but about mile, and was ascending hill,
when MIR C. .jeh somebody at work upon the
straps, in the act of unloosing them This be-
ing finally accomplished, and the leather top
thrown up by the robbers, Clarke sprung out
and seized one of them, upon which the stage
passengers were alarmed, and came TO the res
cue. In the meantime, the other frce-Jooters
took to their heels. The bird caught, whose
name is Dwight Onley, Of Westicld, was then
taken to Westied, and on Saturday was ar
raigncd on two charges LIST, of having stolen
trunks from the stage at previous times, and I'd,
for the last attempt at robbery. On the latter
charge, he was committed for trial, aud bound

LABoRER FOR THE SrATE.--ln the Mu-
nieipal Court yesterday, one Joseph Bryant was
brought in from the State Prison, and sentenced
as second conner to 10 yenrs imprisonment
from aud after the expiration of former SEN
tcnce, which he is now expiating in that Tnstilu-
ton. As will be seen below, he is actually a
fifth conner, but as the records Of but two con-
victions were produced, he was sentenced as a
third conner, TO imprisonment at hard labor for
life, but after serving years he was discharged
by order of the Supreme Court. In 1886, at
Dcdham, he was adjSdged a common and noto-
rious thief, and was sentenced to 3 days solitary,
and 20 years hard labor in the State prison,
but after years service, was again discharged
by order OF the Supreme Court. In 1916 he
was convicted of shop-breaking in the night time,
for which he is now serving a sentence OF 2
years and months in his favorite quarters. In
all Bryant has passed SO days in solitary eonfne-
ment, and 25 years at hard labor in the State
