Death of a Noted Brigand.
The celebrated brigand Zuffa of Castle Guelfos, Bologna, died recently in the State Prison of Ancona, where he had been confined the last twenty-eight years. He was sentenced for life in 1856 for many crimes. He was one of the most daring companions of Passatore, the terror of the Romagna forty years ago. Among the exploits by which Zuffa and his companions made themselves notorious was the following: One night they entered the city of Forlimpopoli while a performance was going on at the theater. They went behind the scenes, and leveling their carbines at the audience, announced that every door was closed and guarded by a brigand, and that the audience had better give up at once all their valuables. One of the gang went around with a bag collecting jewels and money, and the band then leisurely retired.
