A most brutal and bloody outrage occurred
in MarywiIlc on Friday morning last, which in
many particulars resembles the outrage that
occurred az Alpha three weeks ago. The cir
cumstances are thus related by the Express of
Saturday
At about two o'clock in the morning, Mr.
Philip S. Julien and his wife were awakened by
a ran at their front door. They reside across
the slough, near the residence Of John Q. Fall,
ESQ. and had been, so we are Informed, in his
employ. On the rap being repeated, Mrs. julien
expressed the opinion that II was Tom, and per-
baps some other friend who had been out later
than usual and had got shut out, and that they
had come there to get q bed, whereupon Mr.. Jul
len arose and pulling ON his stockings and draw
ere went TO the door and enquired who was
there. The answer was a false one, friend,
which caused Mr.. J. TO open the door and at the
same time he said, come In Tom. The parties
outside rushed in and seizing hold of Mr.. julien,
demanded his money, saying they must have Q
thousand dollars, that they knew he had it and
| he must give it 10 them or they would split his
head open.
He demonstrated. saying be had not SO much
money aud that what he had be had worked
| hard for. aud was preparing to resist, when he
was struck in the forehead, probably with a
Ratchet, and knocked against a chair. The
blows were repeated aud he was almost Instant
| ly oyerpowered and rendered insensible. AT
the time this was going on, Mrs. julien from her
room cried out to spare her husband and she
would give them all the money she had and on
attempting to rush to his rescue, the door was
slamcd in her face and held so that she could
not get in. She then ran out the back way, and
to the house of Mr. Kingsley. the nearest neigh.
Dor, and gave the alarm. Mr.. Kingsley went
promptly to the rescue, but too late, the villains
had accomplished their design by robbing the
drawer in the bedroom of purse containing
| $500 in coin, as follows: thirty-one twenties
and one ten dollar piece. Mr.. julien lay upon
the floor, weltering in his blood, doubtless hav-
| ing been left by the robbers for dead. Mr..
Kingsley made all possible hastefor a Doctor,
and in about twenty-five or thirty minutes from
the time the attack was made, DR.. Reins was IN
attendance. ~ ~
/ He found the patient very low from the loss
OF blood, and with but little consciousness. He
had been literally chopped to pieces with. as il
| supposed Ratchet A blow on the forehead
as il intended to knock him in the head, wat
probably the first, and had stunned him; another
across the forehead, as If the edge, cutting tc
the skill; another fearful blow between the
mouth and chin, had cut through the bone. SC
that the teeth could have been easily taken out
This blow fractured the jaw badly. Another
cut from the left temple back, splitting the ear
another across the lower part of the face and
neck, barely and as il by q miricle, escaping
the jugular vein. There were two or three
other cuts on the neck and throat, and yet it il
thought that julien will survive.
Mr.. julien is a native of Pennsylvania, al
honest and industrious citizen and esteemed. al
we are Informed l,y all who know him. 1ht
villains, whoever they are. are still at large
and nothing. of certainty, is known as to theiI
identity. Mr.. julien cannot speak. or he might
perhaps, furnish some clcw to them; his wife
was too much alarmed to be able to recognize
them. There is difference ia the stories as re-
lated to us, as to the number, some being Of
opinion that there were three Of the robbers
and others that there were only two.
