Bold outrage at ChariestOwn, Mass -
Robbery and Attempt TO Burn Man.


Robbery and Attempt TO Burn Man.
most daiing outrage was committed
al Charlestown, on Saturday evening on
MIR. Samuel O. POLAND, leather dresser,
whose place of business is on Main street,
near the Neck. Mr.. POland's shop is a
two-story binding and his countng-room
is on the second floor at the head OF the
stairs. lie had occasion on the evening
in question to remain in his office until
about nine o'clock, revising his books
and making weekly review Of his affairs
Having completed his business for the
night, he eXiingulshed his light with
view of retiring-and the moment he did
so, two men, who had, no doubt, Stealth
" crept into the entry-stePPed into the
office, and one Of them calling him by
name, took his hand in friendly manner,
and asked him if he wanted any help.
Before he had time to answer the ques-
ton, the other man seized Mr.. Polland's
left hand and simultaneously Herewith,
clapped plaster across his mouth. The
robbers now bound Mr.. PoIla nd's hands
and thighs together in such a manner as
TO reduce him to sitting posture, and
then robbed him of five hundred and
eighty-two dollars-ihey next produced a
quantity Of the leather shavings, saturated
them with spirits Of turpenline which they
had brought with them-Placed them in
different parts of the room, fired them, and
left the premises, locking the front door
rs. they went out. Mr.. POLAND rolled
himself out of the room and by almost
superhuman exertion, ucceeded IN reach
ing the bottom of the stairs.
Here he remained for some time in
terrible state of fear and doubt--his hands
still bound, his mouth sealed, his shop set
fire over his head--with no prospect be-
fore him but death in its most terrible
form. Fortunately, for him however, the
blazing fire in the countng-room was
seen by some persons ina sausage factory
near BY, who came al once TO the shop,
broke in the doOr and found Mr.. POLAND,
helpless and nearly exhausted in the en-
try. They cut the cords by which his
hands were bound, removed the plaster
from his mouth, and then proceeded 10
extinguish the fire. Mr.. POLAND has no
knowledge of The persons who committed
this outrage upon him. The man who
sauted him spoke in an Irish accent but
he is unable 10 say whether the tone Of
voice was real or assumed.

circumstances
''Aller Mr.. and Mrs. McBrayer had re-

menced cutting with his axe, first striking
her breast and arms in many places he
then, with several strokes, severed one OF
her legs entirely off. Mr.. McBrayer be-
ing awakened by the noise, reached out

Latest from New MeXiC0-- Another Bat
tie with the Indians.

The 81. Louis Republican of the 9Th
of May, states that bloody battle was
fought on the l2th, between tribe Of
Apache Indians, numbering two hundred,
and company of about fifty U. s. Ora
goons. The Dragons maintained their
unequal contest for nearly three hours,
when they were forced to retreat. The
loss on the part CT the Dragons was very
severe, The official report shows TWEEN
ty-two killed upon the field, twenty-three
wounded, several of them badly =; and up
wards of fortv-6ve horses killed and lost
in the action. Of the Indians, about sixty
were killed. We also notice that Sur
geon d. l.. MAGRUDER, nephew of DR..
ROBERT =. MAGRUDER, Of this place, was
slightly wounded in the hand and heel.
After the battle the Indians were pursued
for some days, by a company of one hun
dred Dragons, commanded by Captain
Cook, on the west side of the Rio Del
Norte, now and then obtaining informa-
ton Of their whereabouts. On the day oil
the fight the troops marched through
snow two feet deep, anG showing at the
time. At last accounts the Indians ex-
messed a WILLINGNESS TO make peace.

A HUMANE ACT.-One day las! week
Mrs. Horton, who resides about three
miles west of Owego, saw large pine
tree fall directly across the railroad track.
She instantly laid down the baby, called
her husband from his work, and they both
ran TO the railroad, a distance of some
hundred rods, taking an axe wl'h them.
But the tree was sound. and not less than
two feet in diameter where ii crossed the
track, the spot being at a short curve in
the road, and out of view from any con
siderable distance. Worse than all, the
time for the train to pass was close at
hand. Mr.. Horton Immediately took off
his red flannel drawers, tore them in two,
and ran up the road with one leg, while
his wife ran down with the other. In a
few minutes the mail passenger train ap-
preached at full speed, when 1t was ares
Ted by Mrs. Horton standing on the track
waving the leg of the red flannel drawers
on mullen stalk. The tree was soon
cut and rolled off the track, with the aid
of the passengers, who proceeded on their
Journey; many lives and limbs doubtless
having been saved by this really kind and
noble act Of Mrs. Horton.

The barrel Is about three ieet in length,

Explosive ball, which discharges lis con-

This rifle was tried at target, eight hun

it has given general satisfaction, though

SINGULAR lNcIDENr.-A German known
as Dutch Charley was recently murdered
in Colorado county, Texas. As the body
was surrounded by people, an lrlshman
proposed that those present should success
siveIy place their hands upon the body Of
the deceased, believing according TO an
ancient supposition used by Sir Walter
Scott in ST. Valentines Day, that when
ever the murderer touched it the wound,
would commence bleeding anew. The
suggestion was acted upon, ard, says a
correspondent of the Richmond (Tcxas)
Inquirer, as soon as a man named Hide
orant applied his hand the blood began to
flow. Hildebrant was arrested, and short
ly afterwards committed suicide by hang
ing himself.
