The details of a daring bank rob bery at Brocton, early Thursday m o rning, which we clip from the Buffalo Express , areas follows: On W ednesday last a man called at C o t ton’s livery stable, in Fredonia, and said tha^t he desired to engage a two- seated carriage and a team of horses. H e would probably, he said, be ab sent until about ten o'clock that e-vening, and if he did not return at that hour, the proprietor need not b e alarm ed. T h e stranger tender ed the proprietor his pay, but the latter said it would be as well when h e cam e back, whereupon he coolly inform ed Mr. Cotton that he ought always to take m oney when he got a chance. Mr. Cotton then accepted the three dollars. T h e m a n drove off. Between two and three o ’clock n e x t m orning the b a n k o f T . Moss, a t Brocton, was entered by burglars, w h o blew open the sale an d depart- w ith $200 belonging to the Brocton W in e Company. Entrance was gained by blowing out a part o f the front with an anvil, and powder was used on the safe. T h e explosion was so loud that m any citizens were aw a k e n e d by it. Before anybody could discover the cause of the noise, the robbers had fled in the carriage that had been hired at Fredonia. T h e y were followed to within about thirteen m iles o f this cite, w h en all traces of them were lost. In due tim e , however, the liverym an at Fre donia received a postal card saying that his team w o u ld be found in this city, and yesterday m o rning the rig ■was discovered in a stable on L o u is iana street. It is possible that had the local authorities been im m e d i ately informed by telegraph of the robbery they could have given the thieves a warm reception on their entrance to this city. • ------------ <♦>------------- F a l s e A l a r m . 11 AH C O C K A N D E N G L ISH .

Last evening Attica witnessed one of tb*; greatest political dem onstra tions that W y o m ing county has know n for years. T h e first thing on the program was a street pirade by the hom e and visiting com p anies of the “ Boys in B lu e ,” and was witnessed by a large crowd of peo ple. T h e “ Boys in B lue” of this vil lage, in response to an invitativ>n, which was accepted at a late hour, sent a delegation of 140 men, ac com p anied by the Batavia U n ion C o m e t Band. U p o n arriving at the station in Attica they were met by the “ Boys in B lu e ” from Attica and North Java. T h e line of march was form ed on E x c h a n g e street in in the following order: Seventy horsemen, Batavia Union Cornet Band, Batavia “ Boys in Blue,” North Java Marshal Band and iorty “Boys in Blue” , Jeflerson's Comet Band and Attica “ Boys in Blue,’' 150 men. T h e com p anies paraded about an hour through the principal streets of the village and returned to head quarters, where they broke ranks. T h e enthusiasm of the republicans o f Attica was displayed by the very tasty m anner in which their resi dences were illum inated. A ll alon g the line of march the streets were lined with peo'ple. T h e procession was over a half m ile in length and the companies presented a very at tractive appearance, creating a dis play that will not soon be forgotten. At an early bour the capacity of W illiam s’ ope<a house was taxed to its utmost, ev<. ry available spot in the hall being occupied and the „ general enthusiasm w h ich prevailed, found expression in the rendition o f the “ R e d , W h ite and B lu e ” by the Attica G lee Club. T h e com p any from this village were to return hom e at 9:30 and the intervening tim e was occupied by an able address by S. E, Filkins, E s q ., of M edina. A telegram was read from H o n . Richard Crow ley, who was advertised to speak, re gretting his inability to be present. In his absence the H o n . F. P. B r u n d a g e o f Lockport was intro duced as the speaker of the evening, and the disappointm ent which the audience experienced in the inabil ity of M r. Crow ley to be there was soon forgotten in the very close at tention which they paid to the able and eloquent address of Mr. Brun- dage. H is discussion of political questions was replete with argu m ents sincere and convincing. O n several occasions during the evening the the glee clu b enlivened the meeting with stirring cam p a ign songs which were greeted with hearty applause. T o say that the m eeting was a successful one, ex presses in a feeble m anner the gen eral enthusiasm that prevailed. U p on the return o f the ‘ ‘Boys in B lu e ” to this village they marched up Jackson .street to their headquarters where they were dismissed.
