DARING ROBBERY.
About six o'clock on Tu:sday even:
ing last, as“ two voung ladies were
passing down Common street, they
were rudely assaulted by a white man,
who came up behind them and seized
hold of a velvet indispensable, then in
the hand of one of the ladies, with
which he made off across the common,
and succeded in escaping without de-
tection. Immediately atter the rob
bery was committed, two men came
up to whom the ladies stated the fact
ot the robbery, and requested them to
pursue the scoandrel. These persons
however, not only refused to pdrsne
the thief, but made some impudent ob-
servations to the ladies and passed on
The ladies not discouraged by the
rudeness of these rang ata door at a
neighboring house, the servant of
which, on being informed of the cir-
cumstances, readily went in pursuit of
the thief then in sight but so far dis-
tant as to be unable to overtake him.
The assault on these ladies should
put all others on their guard against
the future attempts of this highway-
man, who baving met with such good
success, in this instance, may be in
duced to repeat big villainy.
In this indispensible stolen was
some eight or t#a dollars in money,
and some other property. The bag
itself was scized with such force as
to part i from the clasp.

A friend of ours gives us the tollow-
ing particulars ofa shocking accident
which happened on Thursday, the
17th instant, at the farm of M+. Chris-
tian Brenoeman, in North Hunting-
don township. Br. Robert Fulton
and his apprentice boy, John Thomp-
son, about 18 years of age, were dig
ging a hole at one extremity of the
handle of a cider press, so as to give
more rogin to raise the beam. While
engaged in digging the prop which
supported the beam unfortunately
force, which struck the boy direct!
under the jaw on the left side and kill-
ed him instantly. Mr. Fulton, who
was stan fing on the opposite side of
the handle, was struck in the same
way, but recovered in a short time.—
A young sonof Mr. Rrenneman’s was
thrown some disiance but not materi-
ally injured. Every assistance was
given tothe unfortunate. Thompson,
but to no effect. What an admonj-
tion to be cavelul, and to be ready for
eternity !
