; The chief actors were Ned Burns, Charley
! Blake, and Liverpool JOHNNY, known to all
Our police and the victim was George Colder,
o rail road workman, lately from New Orleans,
who was accompanied by a friend, VIM. Nor

On Friday night or Saturday morning cir
cunstances revealed to the three persons first
above named that Mr.. Colder was in posses
SION ofsomc money, aud wonld, perhaps, prove
IN easy victim.
While drinking together a: restaurant,
accordingly, the three attentive friends of the
two strangers proposed a ride, which was ac-
ccptcd. Illc parties proceeded to yt!io stables
Of Hicks, in l'nuccss-strcet, and procured 4
) carriage and driver, aud gave orders for drive
up the road. They stopped at the Four Mile
House and rcplcnishcd their drinks, and re-
rcwcd their otfer<. Soon after proceeding
further mp the road, some violence or rudencss
offered by orc Of the trio excited the suspicious
Of Mr.. Morris, who insisted on returning or
leaving the carriage. He was permitted to
get ont, bnt IS his companion, Colder, was
endcavorng to follow, the door. was shut, and
the driver ordered to proceed.
The drive wascoatinued, it believed, about
half a mile or more beyond the Six Mile House,
when twas proposed to stop for another drink,
at Dicks" as Mr.. Colder thinks. On stop
ping the carriage, Blake got out, followed in
turn by the victim aud Burns. Mr.. Colder
looked around for a house or place for drink
ing but saw none, but lad not time to ask
questions or express any opinions before he
was lassoed or garrotted, aud thrown down.:
His person was searched with accompaniment
of violent assaults, blows and kicks, which
left well marked tokens on his face and other
parts. Disappointed at first in their search, the
garrotors were becoming more and more abu-
s:ve in words, and acts, when it was srg -estcd
that belt contained the money. This belt
was taken. and its contents appropriated, am
ounting to 5000 in American gold pieces Of
SO and $50. 22s' 2s~..s- @S
The victims watch was then taken-a single
case gold watch Of a Liverpool make--and in
the violence of seizing it the chain was broken.
The chain was Il large one, with double links,
having bunch OF grapes on the fastening and
s!ides-as appears from the portion left,in the
possession OF Mr.. Colder, and exhibited to
lis.
At this junctuIe the robbers were alarmed
BY the approach of a chaise coming towards
the city, and they hurriedly bctook themselves
TO the carriage and put off at speed. The
chaise contained that veteran and practiccd
police officer, Moses Levy, WHO, suspecting
something wrong. drove off after the carriage,
and after some efforts placed himself abreast OF
it. He asked the driver some questions, but
received no distinct reply, but succeeded, al
though it, was now early twilight in gaining
a view Of the carriage sufficient to recognize
two Of the occupants,-Blak and Liverpool
johnny,
Being slet'e, titrsiing the ears cscap=
ing too rapidly for any successful continuance
OF pursuit at that time, Mr.. Levy returned to
the site OF the outrage, and taking mp the
victim-who was found PROSTATE conveyed
him to the Six Mile House for necessary attcn-
tons. Mr. Colder recovered soon so as to walk
to the city, and on the way overlook his com
psn:on, Morris, who was returning at leisure.
On Sunday tic proper. affidavit was made
by Mr.. Morris, before W. d. IT. Kirkwood,

HoME.-What emotions of mingled pain and
| pleasure swell the bosom of a wanderer, when
he returns to his early home; the cot, the lawn,
the broad old trees, through which the winds
Of the tempest whistled LANG sync," and lulled
him to sleep at night; the babbling brook, in
which he laved his restless feet, in fe's bright
morning-everything that tells of childhood
gone, alas! forever. Well may the poet en-
| claim
The green trees whispered low and mild;
It was sound Of joy;
They were my playmates when child
And rocked me in their arms 80 mild;
Still they looked at me and smiled,
AS if were boy;
And ever whispered mid and low,
Come, he child once more!
And waved their long arms to and fro,
And beckoned solemnly aud slow;
Oh, could not CHOOSE but 60
Into the woodlands hoar.
