Mr.. Editor: Last Thursday afternoon

terrified, N. H., and called for supper, after
eating, finding out that the Stage for Brat
tleboro had just passed, he protested great
disappointment, because he wished 20 take |
it. The landlord however told him that the
Stage made a circuit of two miles, and by
cutting across lots he could go half mile
ana intercept it he apparently started Tor
this purpose. The next morning Henry
Coolidge, merchant of Chesterfield, on
getting up in the morning, found his watch,
one hundred and sixty dolers in money, a
dress coat and an overcoat gone. On look
ing round the BURGERS tracks were found,
who il seems effected an entrance by plac-
ing ladder against the piazza, and getting
in at the second story window and entering
the room where Mr.. Coolidge was sleeping.
passing through that room, and another in
which some ladies were sleeping, down
stairs TO the basement story, where he
found the coats, then back again as he went
down, and out of the window where he en-
tered; and all without waking any one
He left a stone done up in handkerchief
evidently TO use as sling shot, in case he
should wake any one.
Mr.. Coolidge on finding out his loss, sent
messengers in every direction, offering re-
ward of fifty dollers for the recovery of the
property. and the thief. He, and Mr.. Cres-
sey, coming TO Brattlcbore, and finding out
that the Stage driver did not receive the
aforesaid passenger, suspicion of course fell
upon him. They staid here an hour or

dale. On their way to Hinsdale, they over
took man, walking with boy, VINO on
seeing them, told the boy (who belonged TO
the neighborhood) that he had skif down
by the river and was going TO it ; and start
ed for the Connecticut. Mr.. Cressey got
out of the wagon and followed him, and
when near him, he turned and fred a pis-
toI, the ball passing by Mr. Cressey's ear
who returned back little way for help,
where some men were at work near by
When they came to the river he had swan
to the Vermont side, and was making tracks
as fast as possible.
They then returned to Brattleboro, got
policeman Simonds, with squad of assis-
tants, who after securing the woods and
roads for miles and hours, caught him in
The town of Guilford, travelling very fast
Westward. He was brought to this place,
owned up to the robbery, said he lost over
a hundred dollars in swimming the river,
and fifty was found upon him. He was
taken back to Chesterfield that night, had
his trial the next day and taken TO Keene

horses falling with the bridge, killing one
horse, wounding others, smashing the wag
