DARING RoBBERY.-On Monday evening.
about eight clock, some one knocked at the
door of the house OF the late William Ran
Burying Gronnd. Mr.. Caleb Williams, who
is employed by Miss Mary Randall the occu-
pant OF the house, went to the door, when
five men rushed in, tied his hands behind his
back, and his feet together, and then threw
him on the floor. His wife and three children
were made to lie OH the floor beside him, while
one of them stood by with a pistol and dirk
knife, threatening them with instant death if
they moved. Miss Randall shawl was drawn
tight about her neck, and she was then made
to go about the house showing them where
the keys If the drawers and rooms were kept.
An axe, which they found in one of the
rooms, was used to open the doors to which
the keys could not be found. The house was
searched from the garnet to the cellar, and
even the beds were ripped open in hopes of
finding money, which they we're continually
asking for. When they left, the inmates Of
the house were told that the first one who
came to the door within half an hour would
be shot. They then vent away, fastening the
door on the outside. AT the end of half an
hour, Mr.. Williams came into the city and
gave information at the station house on Mill
street.
The robbers carried away with them about
fifty cents in money, dozen teaspoons, and a
ladle, all Of silver, Of the value Of fifty dol
lars. A watch, goblet, pitcher and two por-
ringers, also of silver, escaped their notice.

GAN ACT CONCERNING PARISHES AND RE.
LreIoUs SOCIETIES "A bill under the above
title was introduced into the Senate last week,
and passed that body without discussion, or being
read, except by its title. 1t went into the House
of Representatives, and passed to a third reading
in the same manner At this stage of the pro-
ceedings, Mr. Walker of North Brookfeld moved
reconsideration of the vote, and called the at
tenton OF the House to the general Importance
of the bill, especially the 9Th section, which pro-
vided that all donations, requests, and devises,
made to any parish or religious society might be
held and used, not only "for the support of public
worship, but for schools, orphans. the sick. and
aged, and any other charities dispensed by or
through such parish" This section Mr.. Walker
moved to strike out, on the ground that it con-
ferred an unnecessary and dangerous power that
under it the different sects might establish schools
for the education of their. children lin COMPETE
ton with the public schools of the State, and to
the manifest injury of the latter that they might
also establish asylums, monasteres, converts,
sisters of charity, and all the ecclesiastical insti
tutions of the Old World, under the laws of Mas
sachusetts and hold an amount of property en-.
tirely unlimited and free from all taxation. This
he contended the people of the Commonwealth
did not need or desire, and he hoped the Sth Sec
ton would be struck out, and the whole bill then
rejected.
A spirited debate sprung up. The bill was
strongly advocated by Messrs. Cushing of New
buryport, Pitman of New Bedford, and Young
Catholic member) from Boston. 1t was OPP
posed by Messrs. Brooks of Concord, Chace of
Salem, Couch of North Bridgewatcr. Temple of
birmingham, Walker of North Brookfed, and
Harris of East Bridgewater.
Some curious facts were disclosed as to the ORR
gin Of the bill, which it appeared was very care.
fdlly and kindly furnished by the committee al
ready drafted, with the side references annexed,
by skillful lawyer The speech of Mr.. Young
disclosed to the House the cloven foot concealed
under the measure, and the 9Th section was struck
out, and then the whole bill thrown overheard by
an overwhelming majority
1t seemed to be matter Of general rejoicing
that its true character was detected. The bill
had ffty-fOur sections; it repealed all previous
laws in respect to our parochial institutions, and
enacted every thing anew, with important addi-
tons and alterations. 1t was pretty evident that
the whole measure concocted to get the 8th
section through the Legislature, which would not
have been practicable at all, if presented as a
separate bill.

As seen by our Legislative report, the Loring
matter was yesterday disposed Of as far as the
Legislature is concerned, by the passage of the
address for the removal. in the Senate, by vote
of "a to I4-there being only one absentee (Mr.
Field Of Athol, who is sick at home), and the
President did not vote. Mr.. Field, if present,
would have voted for the address, and it is under
stood that Mr. Upham declared, that if he had
voted he should have voted yea. In that case,
the Senate vote for removal would have stood 70
to l4-nearly two to one.
Senator Bailey of Fitchburg made one of the
sblest speeches of the session favor of the ad-
dress.
OF the fourteen Senators who voted in the neg
alive. three are Democrats, three Gardner Amer

passage of the address, or delay the taking Of the
vote, but all, happily, to no effect, large ma

RAILROAD OUTRAGE.-An attempt was
made in East Albany, on Saturday night, to
throw train of cars from the Albany and
Boston Railroad. Some scoundrel misplaced
a switch, and ran the cars towards the en-
bankment near the bridge. AS good luck
would have it, the soft ground arrested the
motion of the cars before they reached the
creek. Nothing but this prevented very
great loss of life. The occurrence took place
about half past ten o'clock. The cars were
replaced on the track yesterday morning.
This is the narrowest escape from great sac
rifles of human life that has occurred in this
vicinity for some years. The villain made
good his escape. Aiany Times.

PROGRESS OF EMANCIPATION PRINCIPLES IN
Missouri. New York Commercial publish
the following extract from letter written by
a distinguished citizen Of St. Louis to a gentle
man in New York:
"0ur State is fast filling up with hardy race
of farmers and mechanics from the free States,
whom the agitation of the emancipation question
here, and the excitement about Kanzas slavery
have attracted Westward. 1t would seem that
the only good that possibly arise from the
course of James Buchanan and his Cabinet in
Kanzas matters is to send food of immigrants
into our State and Kanzas the result is that
those farmers who came here from Virginia
Kentucky, and Tennessee, with their slaves, af-
ter wearing out the soil of their farms in those
States, find that their property is the most un-
safe, as well as unpI oftable, they can have. So
they send away hundreds of slaves every little
while South, selling them for gold. Thus they
are enabled to pay their store debts in gold,
which accounts for so much of this commodity be-
ing in circulation in our State
Thus you perceive the good cause of emancipa-
ton is steadily progressing. AS each farmer gets
rid of his slaves he directly becomes an earnest
convert to the emancipation cause, and forgets
all the arguments he used before of wrong to the
slave owner; having got rid of his slaves, he
wants his neghbors to do the same. l firmly be-
lieve that majority will be returned to the next
Legislature in favor of an amendment of our con-
stituton, so that laws be passed for the grad
ual emancipation OF slavery in our State"
