HroHwAY RoBBERY.-For the hrst am'
since our connection with this paper Us
local, we have to record a case of highway
robbery in our neighborhood. AS MT
Inrbam, connected with the Kelsey Mil.
Silver City, was coming up to Gold hui
in a buggy a, Q o'clock last evening IN
with his wife and child, and
having passed Devils Gate" short
distance, he was overhauled by four
"road agents." who commanded him TO
disburse. Phe suddenness Of the transac-
ton, his being unarmed, the presence OF
wife and child, made il q matter Of neces-
si,y to him, and he placed $3.50 in coin
in the hands Of these gentry for safe keep
ing. He was in the act Of passing over
his gold watch, when he was told, "go
to hill with your watch, we don't want
it." Mr.. Ingham came immedi ate up
to Gold Hill, informed the police and
others, who started out IN pursuit, but up
TO our present writing we have not heard
Of any arrests being made.

zens for the time being, who are pretty
hard up for matters of excitement.
REDUCED PRIcEs.-We saw q load Of
hay offered for sale yesterday, and as we
had something to do with this article last
year, we inquired the price. We found
the article ranged from $50 to $40 per ton.

$50 10 SO. We then started out to make
other inquiries and found this difference
in prices in regard to other leading articles:
Potatoes that were ceiling for s cents per
pound last year, now fetch but q cents.
Flour that sold readily for ga per hun
dred now sells for 81. Barley that sold
for IL cents per pound, draSs heavily in
sale at ( cents, So much and so far have
prices changed.
