EXCITING ScENE.-The Warren Chron-
icle of the 7th relates the following;
On Sunday evening an attempt was
made to arrest Andrew Barrett. who was
under indictment for passing counterfeit
money in Bristol in July last. 1t hav-
ing been ascertained that Barrett would
be in Braceville on Sunday evening, De
putty Sheriff Weston went to the vicinl.
ty OF the Red School house, north of the
Cd N. Railroad, and on the North and
South Center Road, where a meeting
was held, Rev. Mr.. Smith, ofthe United
Brethren, officiating. Learning that
barrett was in the huuse. Weston enter
ell it Just before the service commenced.
AT the door a friend pointed Barrett ont
to him, bnt when he had reached the
center Of the house some OF the men
having changed positions, he was in
doubt which OF two men, who were sit
ting on or near the preacher's stand,
was the right one. Weston therefore
waited awhile for some one to come in,
from which he couli learn which of the
two was his bril-, when it was evident
that Barrett had smel'ed n rat, and sooR
after singing had commenced, some one
raised n window, near where Barrett
was sitting, and he made a bolt or it.
Weston sprang after him, bumring
against the preacher, knocking him over
in his rapid passage, he caught Barre.t's
coat Just as he was getting ont of the
window, tearing off the skirt, then seiz-
ing the seat of his ~pantaloons, a large
portion Of that indispensable gartne nt
remaining in his hand, then selling his
leg he held him for some time. While
he was holding BarIett's leg, Mr.. Jason
Hurd rushed or was thrown against
Weston. who believed he was trying to
assist Barrett, struck him a severe blow,
telling him to the floor and cutting his
head badly. In the struggle Barrett
broke loose from Weston, slipped thro'
the window, jumped the fence, made
tracks for the woods, and, the night be-
ing dark, escaped.
