A stranger was assaulted and robbed near the Pittsburg depot in Plymouth on last Monday evening. He was unconscious for some time and according to last accounts talked in a rambling manner due perhaps in part to his injuries although it has been learned that he had been in the M isconsin insane asylum from June to August and was discharged as cured. He says he was robbed of S7OO. Efforts have been made to find his friends and to find out something definite as to his business, etc. as his account of himself is unreliable. He claims that he was on his way to consult a physician as to the failing state of his mind, and that he was brutally treated and robbed is certain. _ CARD OF THANKS.
