Outrareen. AGafr.

An affair occurred last week, which
shows that the wretches who are prowl-
ing and robbing throughout the country.
are becoming brutal. as we'll as bold.
On last Friday afternoon. Charles Fox.
living in this Township. near the Brown
County line, some Eve or six miles from
here, went to transact some business at
Highland, leaving his wife at home, with
q child some two or three years old.
Shortly after he left, q man, who had
probably been watching. went to the
house, and with drawn revolver. demand
ed all the money on hand. Mrs. Fox
told him there was none about, as it had
been loaned to person only the day be-
fore. He swore it was q lie, and threat
ened, if she did not Immediately tell
where it was. he would kill her child, at
the same time making sn attempt to
seize upon the latter. She prevented
him from reaching it. and again protest.
ed that there was no money about, bnt
if he did not believe her, be would have
to make search alone, as she would not
assist him. He then went upstairs. tell
ing her be had an accomplice watching
on the outside. and If she attempted to
make any alarm, she would be killed.
When be was gone, she proceeded to
hide q watch and some other valuables
There were two revolvers in the room,
one of them loaded, and the other empty
She hastily seized one; and pretty soon
the man, having failed to discover any
money, came down stairs, to compel her
to 90 up and find it for him. As soon
as be appeared, she levelled the revolver
full at his breast, and pMled trigger but
unluckily it was the empty one, and on
ly snapped. The -uffian Immediately
knocked her down with his revolver,
kicked her in the breast and side, and
left her lying senseless on the floor. She
lay in that condition for several hours,
before recovering consciousness, or
strength to get to bed.
The brute is supposed to have gone in
the direction of Robinson and it is be-
lieved that he was alone. although Mrs.
Fox thought she heard him talking to
some one. before entering the house. We
understand that Mr.. Fox offers o reward
ef $500 for the villain, if brought to him
alive. We presume be wants to give
him touch of "civil law"

Accessories to Treason.

Harold and others are sometimes spo-
ken of as accessories to Booths crime
1t is fact which should be generally
understood. that treason is crime to
which accessories are unknown. Those
who procure, counsel or cammand au-
other to commit this crime. or Who. know
ing the deed to have been commit; ed, re-
ceive, relieve. comfort or assist the trait
or. are considered as principals. and
punishsd accordingly. Chitty in his
treatise on the Criminal Law. says:
There can be no accessories in time
of treason. for all who are concerned are
principals; the same acts which make q
man accessory in felony, cake him a
principal in treason, because oi the helm
ousness of the crime. Besides, it Is TO be
considered that the bare intent to commit
treason is. in many cases, actual treason,
as imagining the death Of the king. or
conspiring to depose him from the throne.
And, as no one can advise in or abate
such crime. without an intention to have
it done, there can be no accessories before
the fact. since tie very advice aud ahet-
ment amount to principal treason. -
Such is the English Law. which forms
the basis of our own. In the United
States the law is not so clearly determin-
ed-treason, until recently. being crime
almost unknown to our annals. Reason
and common sense would certainly die
tate that we should regard as mnch more
heinous thsn the murder of king, the
assassination Of our President, the EN-.
bodiment of the will of the American
people. so recently and almost unani-
mously expressed Gin. Gaz.

to some six or eight of his friends. who
had been ardent opponents ofthe "fraud"
ticket-one was to be the Merchant. an
other the Farmer. third the Blacksmith,
q fourth something else. and so on. They
were so elsted. that the embryo Agent
and all bis prospective subordinates sold
out their farms and shops for what they
could get. They were now going to live
upon salaries, and to make big things by
honest dickers with the Indians, whereby
their annuities should be regularly turned
over to them. in payment Of debts con-
tracted beforehand therefore. what
cared they for farms and shops? For
weeks they loafed and waited; the Agent
visited the Capital. and reported all
right. But thair funds began to run low.
and still no appointments came and
finally. it came to light that the Otoe
Agency had been disposed of for long
