A Htghwagman.-The West Chester Rec
ord, of Tuesday last, says "A week or so
ago, as Mr.. Samuel Kelley, of Newtown
Square, Delaware county, was taking some
pork to customer, he overlook, as he sup
posed, fashionably dressed lady, with gig
top bonnet and veil, close fitting coat cut in
the latest style, and muff and furs, and, to
all appearances, very tired and weary. AS
Mr.. X. drove up, she asked him if he would
not assist her on her journey Pleased with
the looks of such passenger, he stopped
his horses and helped her in They had not
rode far, however, before Mr.. X discovered
to his surprise that the pretended " female''
had Tong 6oots on, which she unfortunately
disclosed to his view. At this he grew very
suspicious ofhis passenger, and intentionally
dropped his whip to the ground, and asked
the lady" to get out and pick il up for him,
remarking ut the same time that his horses
were very spirited and would not stand
The lady politely got out of the wagon, but
before she got back with the whip, Mr. Kelley
gave the reins to his horses, and was safely
out of her reach-minus only the whip and
her interesting company. The lady had left
her mulf on the seat, which Mr.. Kelley pick
ed up, and out fell large dirk knife and one
of Colts revolvers Putting the boots, knife
and revolver together, it is very evident Mi
Kelley had walked up the wrong passen
ger" The lady was no doubt gentleman
and but for the lucky discovery OF the boots
he doubtless would have been robbed, per
haps murdered. This event occurred somt
eight or ten miles cast of West Chester.
