Robbery and Assault.


On Tuesday evening of last week, a
stranger by the name of Wilson, stopped
al the Franklin House, in this place
After supper he went out for the purpose
Of transacting some business and did not
return. As lie had left his wife at the
Hotel, his absence could not be account
ed for, and on his not appearing We'd
nesday morning, much excitement was
manifested, and search instituted. He
was traced to a house Of no enyiable rep
utation which he left about 12 o'clock
Tuesday night, in company with three
others. The discovery of traces of a
scufie by the road side, marked by a
considerable quantity of blood, induced
the belief that foul means had been re-
sorted to, and aroused our citizens, num-
bers of whom joined in the search.
Towards noon the missing man was
heard from at Niles, and a warrant was
issued by Justice Palm, for the three
persons. who were identified by his de-
scription to be Seymour Stebbins, Rob-
ert M'Whinney and James Howes.-
Stebbins had left for Ravenna early in
the morning. but Constable Williams
made good use of the sleighing, and had
him back before dark.
At the examination before ESQ. Palm,
Mr.. Wilson gave in evidence, that he,
being under the influence of liquor, was
decoyed by one of the party some dis
lance from his hotel, under the pretense
of being conducted to see a man with
whom he had some business; and was
then induced to visit the house above
mentioned; that on their return, he was
attacked by the three, with whom he
had a severe %scufie; that they attempt
ed to rob him, and that they released
him on his giving them five dollars.
1t is supposed that under the effect of
intoxication and fright, hepassed through
town, without being aware of it, and
reached a tavern in Niles, where he re-
manned until word reached this place
His assailants were bound over to ap-
pear at the next session of Com. Pleas,
and in default Of bail, were committed
to Jail.
Much of the testimony was sicken-
ing in detail, and evinced a state of
morals among a part of u community,
loudly calling for the interference of all
who have the welfare of our Village at
heart.

In the March number, we find an ac-
count of a public dinner given to Mr..
Cooley the publisher. by his friends. In
the speeches made on that occasion many
fattering enconiums were passed upon
him and his magazine. Mr.. Cooley, in
his reply, speaking of the COS of the
embellishments, says he paid twelve dol
lars apiece for the first plates which he
used. When the price was raised TO fl
teen dollars he was inclined to strike,
and not pay such an exhorbiant price for
an Illustration. He has since paid two
hundred and seventy-fve dollars for a
single plate, and in one number of the
Lady's Book, the ~engravings alone cost
five hundred dollars. Mr.. Cooley says
it is his business and pleasure to please
the ladies. They must be hard to please,
If they dislike the Lady's Book.
