ARREST FoR RoBBERy-PKIsoNER CoNFEssEs
A man named Tricke was arrested by Mars hal
Keeler yesterday morning about o'clock, as
he was about to go aboard of the downward
bound steamer. He had been suspected of
the robbery of a miner named Abby on the
road from the Granite Greek mines down to
Umatilla, ten days since. Trickle and Abby
were travelling companions from the mines,
and the money which Trckle stole, was
placed, at one Of the stations on the road, un-
der the side Of a haystack. When Abby went
to find 1t, 1t was gone. Suspicion at first fell
on another person, but at length was diverted
to Trickle, who came down from Umatilla
two or three days ago. The amount was
$lO45, and Abby was SO discouraged by his
loss that he returned 10 the mines. Trickle
was "shadowed" until the time Of his ar.
rest. On the way up to the Marshals Office,
the prisoner dropped purse containing about
800, aud on being questioned by the Marshal
confessed the robbery, with great manifesto.

dropping of the purse, and Mr.. Keelcr wen

4 wedding took place on last Thursday

Grizzie, at which Gov Brownlow oficiated
as chaplain The bride was Miss Sue
Grizzle, and the bridegroom Captain Cod
dard, I. ). a. As the road to the scene
of the nuptials run, through dangerous
territory: and, after dark, is about as Der.
Ilous as that which rams Though Grottc
del Cave, or the Valley Of the Shadow of
Death. the Governor and his companions
rode out in a carriage with their revolvers
in their laps, and thus accoutered, arrived
safely at the ,ot, with no lives lost, which
may be regarded as quite a feat
in these times. The carriage in which
were Captain Goddard and his friends,
went out by way Of College street. no oth>
er carriages being in company When it
reached the vicinity Of Sulphur Spring,
three rufians rushed out aud seized the
horses by the bride. The Captain AID
his three friends instantly drew their
pistols. whereupon the highwaymen took
to precipitatc fight The driver was cx-
cceding!y frightened, as his horses were
res;iys aud wild: and begged his party
not to fire, as he could not hold his team
So the gentlemen were constrained. much
to their chagrin, to put up their pistols
The warlike appearance Of the Governor
and his party as they dismounted, armed

That slippery gentleman, with his eye

clamor of his particular friends, who are
greedy for the bloodof JEFF. Davis, ring
