A1rEMPTED HIGHWAY RoBBERY-An attempt at
hi ghWay robbery and murder made upon the per-
son of an old gentleman, MIR. WooDMAN SIDBURY, on
Saturday last, while he his way from Whining
ton to his home On Topsai Sound. 1t appears that
two men in soldiers uniforms accosted him in the pub
lie road and demanded his money, which he refused to
give up, when the fenes struck him several blows
the head with club, thereby stunning him very
iy and rendering him nsensibe. From cause the
cuprs ceased their operations the old gentleman
without getting his money. He was still in hia buggy
insensibe, and when be came to his senses he found
that his horse had carried him to neghbor's
the sound. lie then succeeded in getting home, where
his wounds were dressed. Mr.. SUDBURY is in O very
critical situation and there considerable doubt of his
recovery We presume the matter will be fully inves-
tigated. We learn Mr.. s. can identify the men. Mr.
Sudbury is quite old and feeble man, and it is q
great wonder that he got home after having received
at least four blows his head with club. The par
tics engaged in the outrage had first ascertancd that
he had no weapons. Their leaving him without con-
summatipg their purpose is, doubt, due to their
hearing some noise and fearing that some one was
coming.
