HIGHWAY. ROBBERY.

An Ohi0an Relieved of S1.O7O-Arrest
-ss. of The Suspected Parties.
On Thursday morning gentleman from
Waseon, Fulton county, Ohio, was robbed
in Windsor of S1,070. The following par
| ticulars of the transaction are furnished by
the yictim,' and may, be relied upon as
true. 80 --,.r .,..r-s.-e- -.ra
He arrived in this city on Wednesday
night, stopping at the Biddle House with a
| friend. On Thursday morning he arose
about eight o'clock, breakfasted, and after
strolling about town with his friend awhile,
finally accompanied him to the Michigan
Central depot, where the latter was to take
the 10 40 train for Chicago.
| Having been, as be said, citizen of the
United States for sixty -three years without
ever having set foot on British soil. he con-
cluded to improve the opportunity then
offered. Upon landing at Windsor be met
a couple OF young men, of whom he in
quIred where he could procure good cup
of tea. one of them replied, Il will show
you; come with me-" saying which he
started toward the south part of the
town followed by his companion
and the old gentleman. After proceeding
some distance engaged in friendly con-
versation upon various topics, the person
who had answered his first inquiry. struck
him blow on the neck. which, although
not sufficiently powerful to knock him
down, bewildered him somewhat. Upon
recovering from the effect of the blow, he
saw small ladst anding near who said to
him, ''old gentleman, that teller hit you,"
at the same time pointing to the ruffian
| who had retreated some distance from the
spot. Wondering at the cause of the I'M
warranted attack upon him, the gentleman
began to retrace his steps when it sudden
iy occurred to him that robbery might have
been the motive, and, on looking for the
money, discovered that he had actually
been robbed of the amount above stated,
the scoundrel having even taken his spec
| tacles. He Immediately returned to this
city and made his case known to the Chief
of Police, who instructed Detectives Stad-
Ter and Sullivan to investigate it. The
victim returned to the Biddle House. and
In about an hour thereafter, was notified
that parties ans swering the description he
| found in this city. Upon confronting them
he positively identified one as the person
| who struck him, but was not fully satisfied
| of the identity of the other.
The prisoners were subsequently trans
| ferred to the United States authorities un.
| der proper warrant, and teps were taken
for formal extradition., While their pro-
ceedings were in progress, a writ of habeds
corpus was issued by Circuit Court Com
missioner Prentfss, upon application of
Messrs. Gillett and Chapman, counsel for
the defendants. who were ordered to be
taken before the Commissioner at four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The instruc-
Lions WEI e complied with, but owing to a
diversity of opinion on question of juris-
diction between the counsel for the defend

The Eusign aud His Banner.

There is a story of an Austrian Standard
bearer, in one of those battles in Bohemia
fought in 1866 between the Austrians and
the Prussians, which deserves to be remem-
oered, not only in itself but also as an ex-
ample to those who are standard-bearersi in
the Army OF the Cross. y rr 1a ,Ha5
In the fierce fight of Trautenau, the adj
vanctng Prussians came upon ditch hall
filled with dead and wounded Austrians.
Among the latter was young officer svi-
IDENTIFY badly wounded. He was lying on
his back in the wet ditch. Novel with
compassion, the Prussians were about to
| remove the wounded man that his case
might be attended to by the surgeon, when
he entreated to be allowed TO lie where he
| was, as he was quite cool and comfortable e
He expired shortly alter. When the dead
body was removed, it was found that even
in death it had served to protect 'rhe bit o
rag" which, in the morning of that blood y
day, had been the standard of the regi.
ment. He had carefully folded it up, anG
then lain down upon it to die! His noble
foes forebore to take away the trophy T; the,
wrapped it round him and lett him to tax,
his rest upon it. The Prussian General
who told this story told it with his heat

the truth of Detective BAKERS story. She

THE Neao York Herald of Monday relates
fatal coincidence, as follows: ION Sat-
urday last, Isaac Hall, baker, living at
No. 70S Third avenue, was buried. On the
Thursday preceding he was driving a horse
and buggy through Central Park, accom-
panied by lady friend, when the horse
took fright and ran away, Mr.. Hall being
unable to control him. On turning the
east end of the Mall, he was thrown out
and instantly killed, the lady escaping un-
hurt. On Thursday, two weeks previous,
he was driving in the same buggy, and,
when near jones' wood, the horse ran
away, throwing out. his wife, who was in
stantly killed, himself and his little daugh-
ter escaping unhurt. His wife was also
buried on Saturday,"

Congressman AshIey's Evidence

hSuACy .
Mr.. Congressman ASHLEY, of this State,
the very head and front of the charges
against President JOHNSON of completely
in the assassination of President LINCOLN,
has at length been examined, under oath,
before the impeachment committee, and
he was obliged to confess that he had not g
single witness to substantiate his all ,ga
ton. The excuse rendered for his SANDER
is that from certain theory, which he re
ligiously believes, he has no doubt of
himself; that theory however, is nothin,
more nor less than that it has been Gus
tomary thing to assassinate Presidents
both HARRISON and TAYLOR, according t.
AsHLEY's idea, having been poisoned
through the Vaccinations of ambition
Vice Presidents. Mr.. BUCHANAN, he thinks,
was poisoned, but got over it.
If hate and falsehood, filling a man to
overflowing, was poison, ASHLEY would
have been dead years ago, for he is filled
with it.

He who calls HENRY STANBERY the
''man Friday"-the servant and doer of
anything he is ordered to do-of President
JOHNSON, entirely mistakes the man. The
charge might do where Mr.. STANBERY is
unknown, but here, in Ohio, and partlcu-
lariy in this city, where he is well known,
such slang excites but loathing contempt
for the pennY-a-line scribler and for the
editor who publishes it. .,-.
Asa high-minded gentleman, and as a
lawyer, HENRY STANBERY stands the peer
of the noblest and the best. His name has
never yet been tainted with dishon-
orable act. and he is among the last of
men that any one who knows him would
dare ask to make up an opinion to suit
particular case by perversion of the
principles of the law.
