Villanous Hoar.-Tbe paragraph which VIC
copied yesterday from the Pitisburg Spirit Of the
Age, headed Robbery and Attempt 10 Murder" "
appears. by the following from tho same PnPer of
the 2Sth ut., to be vile hoax. Tho Age says:


We have reason 10 believe TINT the account Of
the robbery and attempted murder of Mr.. Dill A.
Smith, by DR.. Tappan, of SteubonvilIe, published
in this paper last week. originated with some
black-hearted scoundrel to crafty his own maIig-
nant feeling. The matter was contained in a
postscript to a letter from Smith to his wife.
That part Of said letter was exhibited to US on Sa.
turday; and on examination we were fully con-
vinced that tho seal had been broken and the post
cript inserted by some villain, into whose hands
the letter had fallen either wound the feelings of
the wife of Mr.. Smith. or TO injure the good name
and character of DR.. Tappnn. We should like a
small portion-of tho rascaI's ear--not on account
Of its value. but for the reason Of its being ras
calls ear-for the part he has made US play in the
matter.
