A Woman kicked 10 Denth.-Horri'
bic Affair In BrookIyn n. Robbery and
vSoleu 90 hv q arrofers

Mrs. Mary Thompson, who was gar
roted, beaten and robbed by three rnf-
fans mt the corner of Willoughby and
Lawrence streets, Brooklyn, on the
evening of the 9th Of March, died on
Sunday last from the effects of the in-
juries she received on that occasion.
Coroner Smith was notified yesterday
to hold an inquest upon her body, at
her late residence. corner of Bergen and
Classon avenues. The husband of
the unfortunate woman, who
is engaged in business in
Boston, sent her sum of money
which she received in New York on the
9th of March. She expended $50 OF
the amount in the purchase of q dress
pattern, and the emainder lof the money,
S14O, she concealed in the bosom of her
dress. She then crossed the Fulton
ferry, and by mistake took q Myrtle av-
,enue instead of o Fulton avenue car.
K On reaching the corner of Lawrence
street, she discovered her error, and
started to cross to Fulton avenue. When
she had reached the corner of Will
loughby street she was attacked by
three ruffians, one of whom caught heI
hy the throat and choked her until she
became inseusible, while the other two
tore open the bosom of her dress and
robbed her of her money. The poor wo'
man struggled to free herself from the
clutches of the thieves, when they
knocked her down and kicked hel
until she WAS quite insensible
They then made their escape
and the only description she could
give of them on returning to conscious
ness was that one was quite tall, had 8
sandy complexion, and wore < light-col

A SAD HISTORY.
.ui.f.r..se. Of /. CIermsn, woma

mtsfsrsnhos Of y Cierment woman
The New Albany ledger of Friday af-
ternoon, in its column of Louisville in
telligence, tells the following:
Quite an excitement was created in
the city court room this morning by the
introduction, of a comcly-looking wo-
man, Mary Walters, charged with steal
ing q flatbOat from James Robinson. AS
"a history of the woman would not he
out of place, we give it as related by
herself In 1858 she was married in
Clermont county, Ohio, to man named
Walters, with whom she lived seven
years. She came Of good family, and
was respected By all who knew her: but,
unfortunately, incompatibility of tenn
per brought about separation between
her and her husband, and she left him,
taking an only child. She, with her
mother, removed to Cincinnati, where
they lived two years, when she met an
itinerant vagabond named james Rob
inson, with whom she has been living
everSince. ...
They passed IS man and wife and were
recognized as such by every person who
knew them. Robinson was a shiftless
man, and made his living by small pi-
racies. He lived in float boats. along
shore,i generally making one or two
trips to New Orleans every year. In
these trips Mrs. Walters always accom-
panied him, notwithstanding she was
often i'll used and lily provided for by
the man with whom she had consOrted.
A short time ago, say two months, Rob-
inson came to this city, landing at Fur
guson's mill, on the point. One day he
fell out with Mrs. Waltars, and in a fit
of rage drew gun upon her and
threatened to kill her. Fearing that
her life was in danger, she filed a
complaint and had him arrested.
The case was before the City Court and
he was held in bond to keep the peace,
.but failing to give bail was sent TO the
workh0use for three months. BY some
means be got out of the workhonse last
week, and, reeking with revenge, sought
the object Of his hate. 1t seems while
he was in the workhouse Mrs. Walters
sold some trifiing things and deserted
the boat, coming up in the city to live.
This increased his desire to have re-
yenge, and he took Mrs. w. out in the
woods, stripped her and administered
severe and cruel whipping with a
switch. Not yet content, he preferred
charges against her, as above stated.
Her counsel, Col. Whitaker, stated the
case before Judge Craig, and denounced
Ro oiascn in the most unmeasnrod
terms. The case was SO black and the
prosecution so malicious that the act
ing Prosecuting Attorney, Major Kin
ney, really refused to prosecute the
caee and msved discharge of the par
ty. This being done, charges were pre-
ferred against Robinson, and he was re-
qnired to give Sl0O bonds to keep the
peace, in default of which he goes to
the workhouse. He is certainly one of
the most depraved scoundrels that ever
graced that institution with his pres
ence. -s.r- 80

Editor Of the Register ~
l am a stranger to you, but having
occasionally seen your paper and read
some of the Letters from the People,
/ will aecede to the request of one OF
your correspondents, "Rep.," to pen a
few thoughts that come mp in my mind
as / ruminate and dream in this Green
Neck of the Woods. And there is an
other thing that makes me desirous Of
your acquaintance. The proposed an
nexation of the panhandle to Our great
frying. pan. If this takes place you
will, of course, be part of us-and we
will then be one fiesh-for what God
has joined-i the voice of the people
let no man put asunder.
There.are some things, though, that
will not mingle so well. We of the
west end are very mnchly "copperhead," /"
and would be apt to throw our poison
ous fangs into the veins of the Legisla-
ture, or else gorge and swallow the
whole toady affair.
/ suppose the city is very well and
cheaply illuminated by the gas elimi-
mated from the various gas houses in
the temporary capital, as the bright
and shining lights of Radiealism throw
of their "extras.' Oh, dear! what a
blessing ii is to have such noble law
giyers! Surely, your young State is

are from "Little Green'-mcn who
could not be elected for township Audi
tors here, are Governors, &c, in your
State-if any more are wanted we can
furnish them to order, on short notice,
and we will not suffer by their loss. But
allow me say, before you bid, "baser
lot was never sold."
Massachusetts has monOpolized the
supply of "isms and schisms" to all the
world and the rest of mankind until
lately. Why should not Pennsylvania
boast of her productions as well as any
other State! and let loose as many mad
men to prey upon their fellows! Our
assembly is thrown into the shade of
Ethiopia by none. For we can boast of
as much Radicalism, fanaticism and
foolish as any. Oh, glorious days! Oh,
Industrious patriots Of infamy's awful
phalanx - how do we honor you |!
Conceived in sin, and brought forth
in iniquity-fostered by crime, and
enriched by plumber, baptized in blood,
admitted to fellowship, to all the i'm
munities, of the arch fiend and his
compeers, Brown & Lane, who have
gone before to prepare place, that
where they are you may be also. Per-
haps they will try to repudiate the debt
of nature by an act of Congress, and
cheat old Nick of his due by general
bankrupt law; but honor among thieves
and give the Devil his due in the end.
Though justice seems tardy, may it be
sure. Hoping that all things will work
together for good,
am yours, truly, &.

Inasmuch, he says, as Aaron Apeora Bradley

felt that his superior ability and legal attanments
