A Daria Cm at layna aad Aaatfcar Kaar Coaataatiaapla A daring case of brigandage recently occurred at Smyrna, In which the victim waa the son of Mr. Whittall, one of the richest and leading British merchants of that town, says the London Gtandard. Young Mr. Whittall was driving with three ladles from Smyrna to Bumabat, one of the suburbs, when the carriage was stopped by six men, four of whom seemed CTbe Bulgarian or Greeks from Bulgaria, and two native Arnaouts. Leaving the ladies to report the occurrence, the brigands carried off their victim In. evening dress, sending word by his compan1,500. Mr. ions that they demanded the on receiving Whittall, Immediately news, started in pursuit, taking with him the sum required in gold, being In great anxiety on account of the Inclemency of the weather and the scanty clothing In which his son was clad. His fears were the more justified. as It Is not very long since another of his sons was similarly abduct- ed, and, I believe, ultimately died from the effects of the exposure. - After three days hard traveling the brigands were found and the ransome paid, the men escorting the two Whlttalls on part of their homewaid journey, and finally parting with them with many kiBses and protestations of gratitude.

Bronzo and the young lady, and told her mother that they wanted 10,000. They also reassured the old lady, saying that she need have no fears for her daughter, an exceedingly pretty girl, who should be returned safe and well. The money was quickly paid, and the ladies, who had really been very well treated, were released, the captain of the band making each of them a present of 100 on parting. The government then commenced a ruthless search after the men, scours, ing the whole countryside with who were quartered on all the villages, so that the villagers themselves joined heartily In the chase In order to get rid of these, unwelcome guests. Finally nine of the band were caught and eithqr killed or put away. Being mostly Greeks, they hid principally with Greek shepherd far and high up In the mountains near Ismldt. and scarcely a single shepherd escaped being put to the question.
