A letter from St. Petersburg, in an Eng
lish paper, mentions an extraordinary affair
which lately occurred in the town of Orel,
in Russia. A great local landowner had =
large sum (forty three thousand silver
rubles) to receive through the police Office
Of that town. On applying for the amount
he was told the amount could not be hand.
ed over unless he presented the Office with
five thousand silver rubles. He refused,
and Immediately reported the case to st.
Petersburg, and the money was paid over
to him. But on the evening of the same
day, as he was quietly smoking in his
study, loud ring was heard at the bell
The servant on opening the door was in-
stantly pinioned, and four men, their faces
covered with black Grape, rushed into the
room. The landowner asked them what
they wanted; they plainly told him be
must hand over his forty three thousand
rubles. With the greatest coolness he
went over to his strong box. opened it,
seized a revolver, which was laid on the
top shelf, and shot two of the robbers
dead, the other two Immediately taking to
their heels. He then sent for assistance,
the police, &C., and on the Grape being re-
moved from the faces of the dead men
they were recognized as the head Of the
police and his secretary. The body Of ths
former has been removed to Nice for in
terment.
