TIE CONNECTICUT RIVER
BANK ROBBERY.

The connection of the Larneds with the
Charlestown Bank Robbery, Is not a
matter Of doubt. They did not, how
ever, purposeiy abandon their booty.
the boot was on the other leg---it aban-
doned them. II seemed that they left
their team to hide some of their tools,
when the horse strayed away, and they
were unable to find him. They search
ed as long as they dared, getting lights
from the neighbors to help them, but
the animal had got upon an untravelled
road, and their efforts were unsuccessful.
They then cleared for home, getting a
private conveyance from WaIpole to
Keene, and taking the cars to Temple
ton. Here they stole horse and wag-
on from Col. Gilman Day, and drove 10
Oxford, where they left the horse and
vehicle in the woods. The I.arneds
have fed. Their own horse and wagon
remain at Charlestown.---Nai. EagIe.

EDwIx FoRREsr.-This gentleman
having amasrcd fortune in cnacting the
mock heroic on the scenic stage, has for
time past been manifes'ing an anxiety
to carry at least one Of his characters--
'Jsck Csdc'--into real life.
The recent brutal assault Of this gen.
tleman upon Mr.. Willis, having met
with that condemnation which such an act
70 richly mcrits-and having been held
to bail in heavy sum--now sccs proper
to reverse public sentiment ly the publ.
cation Of a card in justification.
How far this Card may excite public
sympathy. may he judged by the follow.
ing conclusion Of it. In reply to the un.
important statement made by some one
that he attacked Mr.. Willis unawarcs-
he says:
81 rosi sclsmn,y aver, that when first struch
~ r. WtuN, NOW odote hims leco u ucS, anu
With my hand slone, feiIed him 10 the earth"
We hardly think this assertion would
help Tom Hyer or any rugilist in New
York, under an arrest for the assault Of
a pcaccablc citizen, and in view of the
comparative physical force Of Mcssrs +.
and w., VIC think the statement here
made by him. as further evidence of the
brutality Of the assault.
