In Greensburg,on the evening ol the robbery, they purchased some files and a centre bit. Two keys that appeared to hagye beor recently made, one of them cu: iy constructed, were found in the neighborhood. ; Parties of men pursued in every direc- tion. They were traced to this place and over the Monongohela bridge. Rober Young, who lives on the Coal hill centinu- ed the parsuit, and overtook and apprehen- ded them about 12 miles on this side of Wheeling. They were brought to this city on Thursday evening last, and on Fri- day morning taken to Greensburg lor trial. Ii bas been discovered that these fel. Jows had a vesidence neay this place, and John Dougherty was apprehendet! on sus: picion of being concerned with them and harboring them. Upon svatch being made in his house, were found a pair of saddle bags, a portmantea, two vices, a brace and a bit, a pair of shoes with square boxes in the heels, and in each box small copper piates, with 2, 10,20, 50, cngraved on them for the purpose, no doubt, of altering bank notes. Dougherty being alarmed, communicat- ed to some persons that he could show where the watches were hid, and accord ingly sheriff Stewart; with several othe: entlemen accompanied him to nezr where fe lived, about 4 miles from this place, he found concealed ing deep hole a keg con- taining 231 of the watches which had been stolen. - At the same time that we record the a- ‘bove, it gives us satistaction to state, that ‘the notorious Lewis who robbed our fel- dow citizen Mr, M’Clelland, has been re- taken after having broke jail. The gover- ‘not of Pennsylvania has been censured for liberating this man from the penitentiary a few months ago ; this however is unjust, this artful & daring robber had conducted himself while confined, with great apparent penitence, and all persons concerned rep. resented the case in such a manner to the exccutive, that he was perfectly right in ‘curtailing the period of his confinement.— It is “astonishing what a terror Lewis's name excites on the mountains; for some * time after the robbery no individual wotld travel alone, and even the stage drivers were infected with terror when they ar- ~ rived at a solitary spot. : a The day is not tar distant we fear when A rmountains will he made the sceme of y dreadful acts 5 n of violence and robbery. i DEATH OF GOVERNOR SNYDER. . On the morning of the 9:h instant, at his residence in Selinsgrove, piep SIMON SNYDER, late governor of Pennsylvania, aged sixty years and four days. On the 5th he became confined by an{ang policy attack of the typhus fever, which, in less than four days, terminated his invaluable lite, amid the unspeakable anguish of his lady and his five children ; to the irrepara- ble loss of his warm and numerous friends, and of a communityy which will lang and universally deplore their deprivation. It is not for the limits of a cursory para- graph, or the sketches of a feeble hand, to attempt the delineation of a public, or pri- vate life so various, to exemplary, so full of interest, instruction and excellence, as that of Governor Snyder. His life presents an ample range, and a theme eminently adapted to the talents of a biographer of the first order; his course was that of a man who rose by his own inherent virtue and energy, endeared to the hearts of thousands of personal friends, and who without courting popularity, was distin- guished in public lite, by the pre-eminent attachment of the people of his native slate. the triennial assessment, ding officers of companies, belonging to the NOTI .

PACKER, For PUBLISHING, IN THE BOROUGH OF SUNBURY, AWEERIY WEWS-PAPERy TO BE ENTITLED THE PUBLICK INQUIRER som The examples of promising much and performing little, every one will admit to be too striking and numerous, as well with editors of public prints as with the manu- facturers of bank notes : whatever repug nance, therefore, may be felt to making rofessions, to present no outline of the course intended to be trodden, would be too wide a departure from universal usage. Thus impressed, the editor submits, with great respect; the leading principles of the PUBLICK INQUIRER— The great object of this paper shall be to obtain, and to commut-cate, information duct of publick men, and the honesty of publick measures. The political character of the INquIRER is tobe republican ; not devoted to men but principles ; liberal without equivoca- tion ; prudent without hypocrisy ; sceking knowledge ~~ withotit and diffusing it without espionage, dictation. Habituated to industry himself; and rely- ing upon it for publick patronage, the edit- or wili strive to advance its pursuits, wheth- er they regard the farmer or the mechan. ic—the manufacturer or the merchant the statesman or those of the learned pro- fessions. Of dishonest speculation, of idle- ness and prodigality, our country has al- ready had too much destructive experi- ence ; to raise its voice however feeble, to cast in its mite however small, with those More than thirty years witnessed ls dil- [who labor to mitigate and to remedy the ipent and faithtul services, and rendered him the tribute of well earned approbation, from his constituents and fellow citizens. This was dear to him, but he pursued it not ; be laboured to deserve, not to procurc it ; and, though no man enjoyed public o- pinion more gratefully, he was impelled by a nobler incentive,—the approbation of his God, unspotted testimony of a conscience undefiled, In his efforts to promote gen- eral happiness, he scldom failed; for a sound and diseriminating judgment, a clearness of intellect in discovering the best course, and an invincible firmness of purpose in pursuing it, seemed the promi- nent traits ot his self-instructed mind.
