Rb rf Widow Nh riajrhla Thre MeaHavtf llonr-ronr Hands- nad Kl;bta Ilollftr NtelM. We have the palntnl duty this mornlnir of rf axirding one of the most horrible and fiendish, aai by lux trie meanest transaction down In the annals ot crime. It occurred early last I'rirla.y morning In the house of Mrs. Haxton, a widow woman sixty yearn of ape, living trom tiree to four tuilen from the centre of Lac ran ire, Lorain county, riie intelligence was communi cated to Marchal Rchmitt on the followinir day, but not in time to dopatch a man to the place the tame dny. Olliccr Lawrence took the fryiarht train ou Kunduy niorni'K. went to the lady's koine, anit jrives us the following thrdling facts lrs. itaxton lives on a country road some quarter or half a mile from the nearest neigh bor, havine no companion except her boy, thir teen or fourteen years oi Biro. About hall-pant two o'clock Fri day moraine she was awakened toy voices of men at the door. She demanded tlidr business, and received the reply that their vehicle had broken down in the road, and they wanted a lantern that ihey might see to repair the damage. She hesitated a long time, but anally one of thctn absured her that she need have no fears. She arose, dressed, struck a light, and indiscreetly unlocked the door, when two ot them entered, and said in a delimit, "chivalric" tone, "it is not a lantern we want, "but your money," and immediately commanded licr to produce it. Sho told them that her .money was in the Oberlin bank. They pave her the lie, and ouc said, "You have m thousand dollars in the house, we were told so to-day." The other Interrupted him by nayinc, "No," It Is only live hundred, and wo are bound to have it," drawing their revolvers and presenting thctn to her brcant and head, and threatening to kill her instantly if she did net comply, hhe seized the poker and put herself in the attitude of sclt'-delense plucky woman ! When they saw what spirit animated the wo man, the men called to b third party out of doors, "Captain, what shall we do with her ?" "(Jut her d d throat," was the heroic reply, aud he came in and brandished a knite, declaring he would cut her throat it she did not tell where the money was. Ktill refusing, he cut a surface faxh three inches in her neck, but she utill .fought them as best she could. Another clip of the knife blade under her ear, and still another on the cheek, caused her to bleed frightfully, hut she held out resolutely, and called lor her boy to run to the ncurhb jrs. They told her the boy was in the next room with his throat cut, as hers would soon be. She lad every reiiRon to believe their story, and sank exhausted to the floor, alter a half hour's conflict, and, to rid herself ot the villains, who evidently meant to kill her it she refused to discover the money, told them where to find it Eighteen dollars in money were in her wallet tn the pocket ot a dress ljlDg on the bed, and four .hundred dollars in 7'30 bonds were rolled up in a mass of rags in a cupboard near the bed. We give the number of the bonds as an advertise ment to bankers and police, of the robbery. There were four one-hundred bonds bearing, respectively, the numbers, 74,7.8; 74,75'J; 74,700; 298,267. After making sore of the coveted treasure, the fiends again turned to the defenseless woman and inflicted still further injuries upon her, and then left. The little bov came in. tcrrihed, but it was too late to rouse the neighbors, and pur suit at that hour would have been fruitless. The men were dressed in soldiers' clothes, one wear ing the regular blue overcoat with cape, another an overcoat and cape dyed black, and the third, a blouse with the accustomed belt. Their faces were smeared with some black preparation, and there were other tokens of a disguise having been assumed. Conductor Tyler of the Toledo road informs Marshal Schmitt that this party came down as far as Monroeville, trom Toledo, on his train, last Thursday, and there left lor Crestline. A burglar's "Jimmy" had fallen out of one of their pockets, which was left on the seat as a witness to the character and avocation of the men. There is no duubt as to the identity of the two gangs, and the Marshal is confident that tney nail from Milwaukie. Chicago, Mil vcaukie, and Wisconsin papers will confer a favor by noting theJlcading facts in this case. No words ot ours can give a deeper sense of the enormity and diabolical character of the crime than our readers will catch at first flush. The simple act does mare than a thousand abstract controversial sermons or theological treatises to wring reluctant assent to the dogma of the "total depravity" of the human heart. We sincerely trust that these fiends may be arrested and banged to the ncarebt tree. Cleve land Leadir, Wi, T Highway Kbfcery In Texan Par tlcnlais f the Ontrage Chloroform Used by the) Ruffians). Indianola, Texas, December 22. One of the most daring highway robberies was committed on Saturday night, December 17, on the St. An tonio road, at Ecleto, Karnes county, between Mr. Kelly's and Mrs. Hutchinson's stage stand, on an esteemed .merchant of New Orleans, Mr. J. P. A. Mertz (wrongly telegraphed J. M. Arnoth), who was robbed of all his money, $116,000 in currency and United States bonds and part in English bank notes. The particulars, as near as I have been able to learn, arc as follows: Mr. Mertz left on the nth of December, on the steamer Magnolia, for Indianola; stopped at (Jal veeton three days, and arrived on Friday night, the 15th, at Indianola. lie started on Saturday, loth of December, with Murphy's Express for Victoria, and stopped there that night. On Sunday, the 17th, left Victoria again, with Blur phy's Express, for Ecleto. When within four miles of Kelly's he got out of the express, and took a private wagou to go to Mr. C. Campbell's, about one-half mile from the road. He was ac companied by two men, one driving aud the other sitting inside. After they had been about a quarter of an hour on the 'road, the wagon stopped, and the driver came inside and said he wanted to get a piece of twine to fix the harness. Instead of getting the twine he grasped Mr. Wertz'8 revolver, and the other man grasped him by the other side and took the other one from him. They then tied his arms on his back and tied a handkerchief over his mouth and nose, wet with chloroform, and in a tew minntes he was senseless. WheB he awoke he found him self ou the prairie, about two miles lrom Mrs, Carpenter's. One of his valises was gone, with all his money. His revolvers are Quite new. with pearl handles, and gilt. His carpet-bag was open near mm, ana a bottle which hau cou . lained chloroform. A reward of $3000 has been offered lor the can ture of the cowardly villains, and it is hoped -that they will not be able to give justice the Blip. j. -. units, Dastardly AaaiMHlnatlea An Old Soldier Ntrrtek Down Without Provocation Knmored Relationship theAsaaattln with J.

The inmates refused to opeh the door, when the rullians attempted to lorce it open. For some reason or other Mr. K.

The fiends then succeeded in break ing open the door, and entered, . w hen they demanded money, and their . exac tions not being complied with, they knocked down the old gentleman and threw him out of doors, and beat him so severely that he could no longer make anv resistance.

THE GREAT BANK DEFALCATION IN VERMONT. Farther. InterrHtlngr Pnrtlenlar The (.ashler tHcapes wltti'Sttft.ooo. A correspondent of the Boston Journal gives the follow ing particulars of the bank defalcation in Vermont: "The Missisouoi Eank was chartered in ISiO, and went into operation, I think, in the spring oflSGl. Mr. Ileury Howes, now of the Sixth Auditors Ulliee, uoetou, was its nrst cashier. Upon the organization ot the St. Albans Bank, three years later, Mr. Howes was called to the cashie'rship of it, and Mr. Hubbell, previously a teller in one of the banks at liurlington, was chosen cashier ol the bank at Sheldon. He car- ried to the position a good name, and enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him, as a worth v, competent young man. There van no possible occasion to doubt his integrity, nor was there ever, until his strange disappearance eight weeks aeo, and then, so Jar were the bank directors trom having any suspicions ot wrong on hisnart. that, having made a cursory examination of his accounts aud nnding everything correct, they so announced publicly, to keep good the credit of their bank aud to allay the fears of bill-holders. "Here it should be stated that the directors in this examination noted in the utmost good laith. There was no disposition on their part to uphold lor a nine time an insolvent institution by de ceiving the public; but such was their confi dence in Mr. Hubbell, and so nicely were the frauds concealed, that they themselves were de ceived until within the present week, when, through some unknown cause, suspicions of the unsoundness of the bank gained ground rapidly, and bill-holders, mostly farmers and produce dealers from the eastern section of the county, have been constantly rushing in to have their bills redeemed. The 'run' thus made proved more than the bank could stand and carry on its business. This led to a further and more ex tended examination, with the results herein named. "I learn from gentlemen of unquestioned re liabilitymen who have seen the books of the bank, and who therefore speak advisedly the following facts : That the dedication, as above stated, amounts to about $65,000; that the em bezzlements have bean mostly in small sums, and have been going ou for years; that they have been concealed by every 'conceivable spe cies of cunniugly devised false eutries and foot ings; that the assets of the bank are more than sufficient lor the redemption of its bills; that Hubbell piobably carried away with him about twenty-five thousand dollars; aud that the largest single abstraction was In United States bonds, ordered in the name of the bank a short time before he lelt, but never accounted for by him after they wcro received, ' "By the law? of Vermont every needed protec tion is afforded to bill-holders.
