RECOVERY. Capt. Edwards returned from;
Quincy yesterday morning. after having re,
covered the clothing, &C., which WAS stolen
from his room, on Monday evening last. II
seems that the two ''scallawags' who commit.
ted the robbery, were joined by third one
apon leaving the city. The party procured
: skif and started down the river. They
stopped at Canton, committed some slight
depredations, crossed to the opposite aide of
the river, catered the residence of Mr. James
Bland, and robbed it of several articles of
silverware and other valuables. Mr.. B., in
company With Mr.. Winkler, Of Canton, and
others, pursued and captured the party, to-
gether with the stolen goods, short distance
above Quincy. The ssiF had been an.
chored in slough, aud two Of the party,
Ristenbrook and one other, whose name We
did net learn, we're quietly slumbering, On
tirely unconscious Of anything iha, was going
on around them. ~
The third, named Samuel Hartman, made
his escape, and is still at large. He is de,
scribed as being kbout Eve feet and eleven
inches in height, with sandy hair and whie>
kers. and scar on his left cheek.
The two captured ones we're tried at Quia,
cy, and sentenced to the penitentiary for the
term of FIVE years each.
Capt Edwards informs US that he is under
many obligations TO Sheriff Craig, and his
deputies, for valuable assistance rendered in
recovering his property.
