The gang Of marallders and robbers who
lately prowled in the ncighborhood of Phil
adelphia. to the infinite terror of the good
citizens who were obliged to travel, have
undoubtedly moved elsewhere in quest of acl-

ing incident to the whole drama, which has
been enacted with so much industry. On
Saturday morning, Stout old farmer, not
distinguished for his courage, while travel
ing on the Norrstown road, Just before day,
on horseback, heard some one running on
foot after him and CRYING out"Ililoa stop" T"
The old gentleman concluded he was dead
man. His horse, like himself, had no cour-
age, for to run away, was an attempt far
beyond his powers, and too desperate meas

clned into the vale Of years. The farmer
making a virtue ofnecessity dismounted, and
the moment his pursuer reached him, began
laying about him with his whip on the head
and back of the other, with vigor which
did him credit, but which no doubt, was the
result of his terror, Accompanying his op-
erations with obstreperous Giles of"Murderi
thieves! fire the devil help" it was not
until he had expended all his force and
strength, that he discovered that he had
been beating messenger who had been sent
after hm-his own flesh and blood in the
shape of--his son.
