We find in the Boston Journal of Monday
the particulars of one of the most bold and
daring robberies that have been committed in
New England for years.
1t appears that youth named Thomas l.
Parsons, who is employed by the Windham
County Bank. Ct, to watch the premises, was
seized while unlocking the outer door on Fri
day evening, by four men, who fored their
way into the entry and Immediately closed the
outside door. The robbers then took Young
Parsons into the banking room, and bound his
wrists together with stout cord. In addi-
ton, they placed 'gag'' in his mouth, and
bandaged his eyes.
Tn this condition Parsons was placed on his
back on the floor, and one of the robbers stood
over him with loaded revolver pointed at his
head, for fUe long hours, until o'clock on
Saturday morning.
In the meantime, the three others, with
such tools as they had, were at work on the
vault, which they succeeded in breaking, and
robbed it of $22, 900.
Soon after two o'clock on Saturday MORN
ing, the robbers left the Bank building, and as
now appears, their first move was to steal a
hand-car from the Hartford Road, and placing
the same on the Williamantic Road, away
they went, and arriving at Norwich, they
"dumped" the hand-car into the water.
Stopping at one Of the hotels, and while
they were leisurely seated some gentlemen
who entered the hotel commenced talking
about the robbery. The conversation, it
seems, did not suit the taste of the robbers,
and they withdrew from the hotel without a
why or wherefore. Their precipitate depar-
ture was noticed, and suspicion rested upon
them as the persons who had committed the
robbery.
In the meanwhile Sheriff Bliss and other
officers of Norwich had received intelligence
of the robbery, and at once repaired to Allyn's
Point, where they carefully watched all who
went on board the boat for New York, and
succeeded in arresting the four suspected per-
sons, just as they went on board On search
ing their baggage, $40, 900 of the 500 900
stolen were found, and it is possible that the
balance will be recovered, as it is supposed to
have been secreted on the wharf or on board
the steamer. The robbers were safely lodged
in Jail.

in Boston Bay. Nothing was expected of de
mocracy there, and of course nothing was lost
The hot-bed where were Matched Shay's re
belion and the Hartford Convention, coulC
afford little nourishment for democratic prin
pies. OF course we do not cry about the
sparseness of the democratic party in Massa-
chusetts. The mistake is, that any democrat
ever allowed the State TO enter into his calcu-
lations, as a probable or possible field for the
dissemination of democratic principles. But
as we said, whiggery in Massachusetts has
been swept into Boston bay by the know-noth-
ings. We do not rejoice in the success of the
"mushroom,'' as Greeley calls it, but because
that old, imperious, wing party, after nour-
ishing and fondling the midnight plant, has
actually imbibed the poison and gone 10 ruin.
Henry j. Gardiner, know-nothing, is elect
ed Goveror by some 10000 majority. The
entire Congressional delegation is know-noth-
ing. of which five formerly acted with the
free soil party, four with the wing, and two
with the democratic party.
The Senators elect are all know-nothings
To the House of Representatives one demo-
crat is elected. The wings have elected
FOUR-the know-nothings have everything
else. There is satisfaction in knowing that
Massachusetts cannot be worse governed than
it has been.

both sides of the Nebraska question has been
discussed, Messrs. Douglas and Richardson
having canvassed upon this issue. The flu
sionists could not bear to have Illinois, the
home of Douglas and Richardson, the two
great leaders in Congress in getting the Ne
braska bill through, sustain the principle of
the bill in her election of Congressman. So
they have been publishing false telegraphic
dispatches representing Illinois as having
elected an entire delegation of anti-Nebraska
Congressman. But truth has overtalen the
lies, and we rejoice over a gain of ONE Ne
braska member in Douglas State. In the
present Congress there are three democrats
in the next there will be FOUR. Hadn't the

Under the title Thrilling Adventure of a
Young Lady, we find in the PHILADELPHIA
City Item very comical story In one of
the most sober towns of Hampshire county,
where the Maine law is strictly observed, the
keeper of one of the hotels has for several
months past kept bottle or two of wine in
the bed where he sleeps, taking care to re-
move them every night when he went 10 bed,
and replace them when he got up in the morn
ing. A few days since, after replenishing his
bottles, and not having good opportunity 10
carry them to his old quarters, he slipped
them under the holsters of one of the beds re-
served for travellers, and being called out of
town to spend the following day, forgot to re-
move them. 1t unfortunately happened that
young lady traveller stopped at the hotel for
the night, and was conducted by an unsuspec-
ting servant girl 10 the room where the liquor
had been deposited. AS the evening grew
late, the young lady went to bed, and was soon
fast asleep little dreaming Of the mischievous
spirits which where aUorking under her pillow.
About midnight, when all had become still.
the secreted liquor-owing to the heat of the
weather, or the warmth impaired to it by the
sleeper-expanded to such degree as TO defy
longer confnemet. Pop pop went the corks
of both bottles, almost as loud as the report of
as many pistols, and awaking the fair sleeper
who sprang from the bed, and uttered such
wild and terrific screams, that every person in
the house was Immediately aroused
The moon shone bright enough for the lady
to discover the liquor on her night dress, and,
with the conviction that she had been shot. she
tainted and fell TO the floor A dozen SER
wants Immediately burst into the lady's room,
and were Mortified to find her lying on the floor
and weltering in blood All believed that
some horrible tragedy had been enacted-that
she had either committed suicide or had been
cruelty murdered. 4 light, however, con-
WINGED them that she still breathed. No time
was lost in sending for surgeon, whilst the
halfdressed inmates of the house commenced
a search for the assassin or the instrument
which had been employed to perpetratc the
horrid deed.
On examining the bed, it was found to be
drenched with what was supposed 10 be the
blood of the young lady but the strong smell
of wine caused one to investigate further,
when the two bottles were discovered secreted
under the pillow! How the doctor came
how the lady recovered, and how the landlord
tired -hnsh no the whole affair the next day,
