A Daring H-ighwayman.

The Salem Republican says that on
Tuesday evening 18th inst, as Warren
Sheets and George Pow, with q couple
of ladies, were going out the Deerfield
road, in a sleigh, about two miles from
town, a man quietly passed him On his
way 10 Salem. Near EBgland's mill
they turned their horses for home, and
after travelling q short distance, Pow,
in the first sleigh, again passed the
same man, going in an opposite direc-
ton. As Sheets horse came up, the
person seized him by the rein, and pre-
senting q revolver at Sheets, demanded
his pocket-book and watch or be would
shoot him. After little ~parleying, he
got the pocket-book, containing only
seventy-fve cents and passed on. This
was about s O'clock, and counted rob-
berry number me-.
A little after 10 o'clock the same
evening, Mr.. William Pyle and wife
were going home from church, and
when half a mile from town we're sud
denly confronted by a man, who stop
ped their horse, and with presented
revolver demanded Mr.. P.'s pocket
book. Mr.. P remarked: You nave no
business with my pocket-book." Time
is precious ssid the robber; ''hand ii
over, or / will shoot you," presenting
at the same time, his pistol to Mr.. Prs
head. Shoot" said Mr.. P: but his
wife becoming very much frightened,
and the robber threatening to blow his
brains out if he made a noise, Pyle
handed over his pocket book, contain
ing two dollars and fifteen cents. This
was robbery number two.
The next Villainy coming TO light
was a letter received by Mr.. John Neil
er, in Goshen township, demanding Of
him twenty-five dollars, TO be sent 10
the Salem pest Office by a certain day,
under the penalty of having bis house
and barn burned in case of refusal.
signed William Debois. Mr.. Neiler
directed a letter as requested, and al
the same time made arrangements with
the postmaster for the arrest Ct the
person calling for it.
On Thursday, a man appeared at the
delivery, and inquired for a letter for
William Debois. The post master
asked him if that was his name. He
said it WIS. He was invited back into
the Office, and detained there until an
officer was brought in who arrested
him. When arrested, he said Debois
was not his name, but assumed only so
that other persons would rot take ont
certain letters sent him.
After being lodged in the lookup,
Sheets and Pow went to see him, end
Immediately identified him as the man
who had robbed the former at the time
above alluded 10. Mr.. Pyle also went
10 see him, and also recognized him as
the villain who had robbed him in like
manner He made affidavit against
him, and he was accordingly tried be-
fore Esquire Thomas, and the evidence
as to his guilt being almost conclusive,
he was held TO baif for his appearance
at court in the sum of $500, in default
Of which he was sent to jail.
During the time of his arrest, Mr..
William Smith. of the firm of Smith &
Son of the Sssh and Planning Mil, also
received a letter identical in language
and handwriting with the one received
by heller, butsigned William EckhaTd.

CHICAGO, January l6.-A terrible tragedy Oc-

A,duarrel arose between them, during which
Page threw his wife upon the floor, beat and
kicked her in a terrible manner, and left her for
dead. He then went to all adjoining room, and,
with a heavy poker, which he snatched from
the freplaCe, killed both the old man and
woman. As if TO cover up the horrible crime,
the wretch then set ire to the house and fled to
the woods.
His wife in the meantime revived, and as the
flames and smoke were enclrcling her, managed
20 crawl from the burning building, when she
was rescued by the neighbOrs, VINO had been
attracted to the spot by the fre.

TIE REGIsTRATION.

The small number Of white voters registered
n the + irst Ward under the recent act Of Con-
gress shows that there is q disncIination on
the part Of many old citizens to register their
names. We regret to see this spirit manifested,
and are satisfied that, If persisted in to any
extent, 1t can only serve TO put the people Of
the city in wrong attitude, as being disposed
TO resent the action of Congress or to receive
II in sullen mood. Every consideration Of
propriety, and Of interest in our city's welfare,
requires that we should net, even by inplica.
tion, pat ourselves in antagenism to the will
of Congress, deliberately expressed, in regard
TO District matters; over which that body has
supreme control. 1t is the duty OF every good
citizen TO cause his name to appear on the
registry list. and thus show that he accepts the
situation In good faith. We are glad to see that
many of the oldest and most respected citizens
OF the First Ward have set a good example in
this respect by promptly appearing before the
Judges OF election and causing their names to be
recorded.

ARREST OF A COUNTERFEITER.

NUMBER OF PLArRS CAPTURED.
The secret-service officers Of the Treasury
department have been kept busy for some time
past in searching for counterfeiters and plates,
and number Of them have been captured
but the most important arrest was made in
Clncinnati, on Friday last, by Col e.. W
ooo, chief OF the secret service The plates
were also captured, and are said to be eq ual in
execution to the genuine ones in the Depart.
ment. Mr.. Wood, with great difficulty, suc-
ceeded IN getting upon the track of man
named Charles Ulrich. and made the arrest as
above stated, on Friday last, at the same time
securing the plates. Ulrich is q German by
blrth, and formerly resided in Philadelphia
be Is said ts be one of the best engrayers in
the country. When arrested he acknowledged
tnat IL was his intention TO flood the country
with the counterfelts, but said d had not got
fairly started. The plates captured were as
follows 500 plate on the First National Bank
OF Boston, all complete: $500 plate. the back
complete. but the front unfinished: S5 plate
unfinished.
Some impressions were N ade at the Treasury
yesterday from these plates, and il was almost
impossible to distinguish them from the gem
uihe. The plates are q most excellent piece of
Workmanship, and had Ulrich got TO work
Ills very probable that he would have had
thousands of dollars circulated without being
detected. Mr.. Wood deserves great credit for
ms zeal In working up this case and bringing
the counterfeiter TO justice. Ulrich acknowI-
EDGED that IL had cost him much time and
money to keep out of the way of Col Wood
and his officers He was brought to this city
on Monday, and yesterday sent 10 New York
