The small village of c.. in this county, is the scene
of considerable Xcitement just at present, owing to
the discovery Of plot to extort money from young
gentleman by citizen of this place. The clrcum-
stances are az follows: The young gentleman, whom
we will call Mr.. A., received some weeks ago, an
Anonymous letter threatening to expose hun Tor DIS
honesty unless he paid the writer $40 in gold. To
this letter A. paid no attention whatever. Soon, II
second one was received, reerating the former
threats and directing him, II he acquesced In the de-
mand 10 wear a ribbon in his button hole, when he
would be informed of the place where the money might
be left. Upon the receipt of the second letter A.
showed both 10 his employer, who advised him to wait
further movements. -Four or five days ago, third
letter was received, warning him that unless the
certainly expose him. After consulting with his en-
ployer and other friends A. tied ribbon in his button
hole in token of his willingness 10 compromise, 10
consequence OF which he soon informed by letter
that he must put the gold in bag and deposit under
a brick beneath certain staircase A bag was hlled
with cents and placed in the designated place, and 4
watch kept by three four friends OF A. for the ex-
torti0ner who when he came was captured gallantly
notwithstanding his determined efforts TO escape. The
prisoner proves to be old and heretofore respected
