IL JAIL.-On last Saturday night, two men,
John B. Writers and John Finney, were lodged
in our county Jail, charged with robbing the
store of David McGhehan, about a mile from
Ansonville, this county, sometime in Septem-
her. The robbers had carried off fannels, CAL
icoes, shoes, &C., amounting in value TO per-
haps 500. AT the time the robbery was COM
mitted, we believe, arrests had been made
without however duplicating any one, and the
matter passed along until few days since,
when Mr.. McGhehan WAS returning home from
Pittsburg, when man came TO him on the
cars, mentioned him by name, and inquired
whether he had found his goods. Receiving a
negative answer, the stranger said if he would
go to Writer'S lie would find his goods, and
Immediately left the car, nor did Mr.. NJ. see
him again. Acting upon this suggestion, he
procured a warrant, AMI upon search found a
number of the articles in the house of Wit
ters. The prisoners were brought TO town by
Constable IIegarty, Peter Bloom and Peter
Nays, between y and l O'Clock.
