Daring Robbery.

A gentleman residing in Monroe OF
Montgomery county, had sold farm for
the suns of two thousand dollars, and the
money was deposited in his house. After
the sale had been made, he went some
distance from his home to attend to some
business matters, and upon returning,
found it necessary to stop for the night at
a house some two or three miles distant
| from his own.
At late hour In the night, he awoke
from his sleep very much impressed with
dream, in which he imagined that bis
wife and children were in distressed
condition and needed his presence. He
related his singular dream to tiie gentle
man with whom he was stopping, who
dissuaded him from the belief that any
serious consequences had befallen his
family, and finally prevailed upon him to
go to bed again. 1t was not long. how
ever, before he awoke-having dreamed
the second time that hiswife and children
were supplicating for help.
He Immediately dressed himself for
the purpose of going home, notwithstand-
ing the entreaties of his host to remain
until morning.
There was also German pedlar stay
ing at the same place, who proposed to
accompany the man to his own home,
les. he might be dreaming, and meet with
some accident on the way.
The two started, and in short time
came to the house, in which light was
discovered. This unfavorable omen, al
that hour of the night-it being about 8
o'clock-confrmed the husbands worst
suspicious. They approached the house,
and, looking through window. saw five
men, surrounding table, busily engag,
ed in counting and dividing the money
they had secured. The first impulse oi
the enraged husband was to give the
alarm, but the German bade the man be
silent. He then instructed him to go tc
the back door and knock, upon which the
robbers would attempt to make their es.
cape out of the one at which he, the Ger.
man, was stationed.
The man accordingly made an alarm al
the back door, upon which the midnight
robbers endeavored to make their escape
Right manfully did the German maintain
his position, while with a revolver he
killed four of the robbers, and wounded
the fifth, who was afterwards secured.
Would that this were the only bloody
spectacle which presented itself at that
dead hour of night. The most heart
rending part remains yetuntold. A wife
and two OF three children had been butch
cred, and lay weltering in pools of blood.
The feelings of a husband, and father
can be better imagined than described as
he beheld this horrid spectacle.
The wounded man, having been secu.
red, made full confession, in which he
stated that an organized band of robbers
was in the country, and that the ring
leader lived in Lincoln or Pike county

The Chinese Rsyolnt,onsrY Leader


Rey.sJ.F r. Roberts, q missionary 70
China, recently delivered lecture ct
Louisville, on the insurrection. He al
lR4ed particularly TO the leader, and said
that he had first visited the house Of Mr..
Roberts in i649. He was then Iitera-
ry man, engaged in teaching school. His
visit was superinduced by q desire to
learn from B. what he knew concerning
the new faith, as he termed the Christian
religion. With him,-an inmate Of his
house, close student, strict in his at
tendance on worship, and iiligent in pc.
rusing the Bible-he remained over two
months. Then he presented himself as
an applicant for baptism and church
membership, but at the suggestion Of one
Of the members, deferred being baptized
until some means of livelihood could Be-
obtained. This was necessary, Is the
instant he left his native religion he
| would lose his caste. Alter that Mr.. T.
heard nothing further of his pupil, until
the insurrection broke cut. As il tri-
| umphed, the leader sent word 90 his old
teacher, and has demonstrated, 50 Mr. r.
thinks, by his acts and words. that the
lesson tanght by the American mission
ary were iseffAceable. ~ 80 = q
Among his pablic acts are lawsordsr-
ing the Bible to be taught in schools; the
destruction of idols; the prohibition of
lopium, and other reforms, that have al
ready had = happy effect upon the revo.
lutionaFy districts. OF the ultimate sue
cess of the revolatiea there seems 10 Be
