HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN SMITHFIELD.-A
bold and successful robbery was made in the
public highway, between the house of Ed
ward Smith and the Douglas turnpike, in
Smithheld, on Monday. AS Mr.. Richard r.

aforesaid locality, man grasped his horse by
the bride, and commanded Mr.. Clemence to

ing pistol. Mr.. Clemence had hardly time
to realize his situation before the robber jumped
into the wagon, threw Mr.. Clemenco down,
cut his wallet from his pocket with razor,
and then decamped. The wallet contained
only fifteen dollars. Mr.. Clemence describes
the highwayman as foreigner, about thirty
years old, wearing light Kossuth hat, a light
sack coat and dark pants. Mr.. Clemence is
an elderly man, and could offer but little re-
sistance to the outlaw. The Town Council
have offered fifty dollars for the apprehension
and conviction of the robber, and Mr.. Glenn

The BRooKFIELD CELEBATIoN.-We would
again call attention to the proposed celebration of
the approaching 4th of July, by the citizens of
the old town Of Brookfeld, now divided into
three towns-Brookfeld, North Brookfeld, and
West Brookfeld. The celebration will be in
Brook6eld, in tent Of sufficient dimensions to
accommodate several thousand persons, in which
a dinner will be provided, at 81 ticket. 1t bids
fair to be great occasion, and to be the grand
celebration for Worcester County, this year, of
the coming anniversary of our national inde-
pendence.
AS before stated, Hon. Pliny Merrck, of the
Supreme Bench, is to be the principal orator Of
the day, and speeches are also expected from
Hon. Simeon Draper of New York, Hon. Dwight
Foster Of Worcester, and Hon. Amasa Walker
OF North Brook6eld, and poem by Hon. Charles
Thurber-all sons of Observation-Disclosures speech.
es and sentiments from other distinguished gem
tlemen connected with Brookfeld by birth, mar
rage, or former residence. Each Of the three
towns has chosen a large committee of arrange.
ments, and numerous congregation of people
is expected.
The celebration will be upon the line Of the
Western Railroad, thus making it easy of access
to persons from abroad

trial OF WetheTelrs new patent horse hoe
was made, yesterday, upon the corn field Of Capt.
Ephraim Mower on Main street, and it was
found to work to a charm. 1t would have de-
lighted any one of readers to have seen the
venerable old gentleman, whose memory goes
back to the day of wooden plows and stub hoes,
as be watched the machine, drawn by single
horse, and attended by one man, hoeing his corn
at the rate Of an acre an hour, in SO thorough a
manner as to require no after manlpulatiOns with
hand hoe.
A potato patch in the immediate vicinity Of
Capt. Mowers LOT was also hoed, in presence of
quite number of spectators, farmers and others
and it was generally conceded that the work was
done better than by ordinary hand hoeing, and
as rapidly as eight or ten men could perform the
same work. We congratulate our neighbor,
Wetherell, upon the success of his invention ;
and the farming community may we'll rejoice that
the tedious operations of hoeing corn and pota-
toes are soon to be abolished, just as Mccormick
and Nanny have abolished the labors Of moving
and reaping.

LOCAL NEWS

SINGULAR AccIDBNr.-Yesterday forenoon,
while Messrs ]. G. & D. H. Perry of this city,
were riding in carriage through New England
Village, it was proposed to let the horse drink at
the margin of the stream which crosses the road
under an arched bridge, and the horse was &C.
cordingly driven to the margin of the stream by
the side of the bridge. The animal, however,
had no sooner got taste Of the drink than he
determined to have bath, also, and plunged into
the stream, which at the present time is very
deep and rapid, taking the carriage and its occu.
pants along with him. The force of the current
carried the carriage under the bridge, at which
place the Messrs. Perry jumped out, while the la
dies remained inside, the horse vairly struggling
to free himself With great difficulty the whole
party were rescued from their perilous situation
by the aid of persons resident in the neighbor-

the news was placed upon the wires in less than

This is quicker by more than two days than Eu-

ANOTHER CAL1FoRNIA.-We have wonderful
gold stories from Sonora. The editor of the
Santa Fe Gazette has had an interesting con-

States army, and the statements he gives of the
amount Of precious metals mined there are al.
most fabulous He expresses the opinion that
Sonora is far more prolific of gold and silver than
California, and, if territory of the United States.
would yield ten million dollars annually. He
says he has seen single Jumps of gold taken from
the mines there worth from three thousand to five
thousand dollars. He likewise stated that he
had seen cord of silper IN bars, and all mined
uolthom machinery.
