HIGHWAY RoBBERs-Two MEN SHOT
We published, on Saturday, an account
of a mysterious meeting of robbers, and
warned the marketinen to be on the look
out for them. This morning, between
three and four o'clock, these knights Of
the Road stationed themselves about two
miles from the market house, on the State
Line road, and halted every one passing,
and succeeded in robbing about ten per-
sons before they concluded to stop ope.
rations All the parties robbed were on
their way to market, and did not have
much money with them. Mr.. Loeb was
one of the unfortunates-in fact, the most
unfortunste-for they took his money
and watch and chain, and one of the
robbers admired his new hat, and another
his boots, and possessed themselves of
both, he arriving at market hatless, boot
less, watchless and moneyless. One of
the wagons not stopping quick enough
for the robbers, was fired into, and
white man and negro were wounded
slightly Something should be done to
clear the roads Of these robbers, who
appear to get more daring every day,
and we should not be surprised if the
various gangs were to unite and make
raid into the city some night

RELIGIOUS REvIvAL.-The meeting last
night at the First Baptist Church was
characterized by the same deep interest
which has attended theseries of meetings
from the beginning. Several persons
united with the Church, and there seemed
to be an earnest engagement both on the
part Of the Church and congregation in
the objects of the meeting. Rev. Mr..
Miller viii preach tonight on a subject
appropriate TO the occasion, and the
meetings will be continued morning and
evening as heretofore, Some express
surprise at the determination Of the
Church to continue them, but why should
they not be continued as long as the past
success attends them ? A similar meeting
is in progress in Richmond, Va, which
has now continued three months. No
more appropriate time, in view Of the
leisure enjoyed by our business men gen
orally, could be selected for such series
of meetings, and so long as those who
attend them are benefited. so long the
community will manifest that concern in
them which the all-importAht subject Of
the Christian religion demands, so long
should Christians keep them up

The ENTERTAINMENT last night at the
Greenlaw Opera House was attended by
a large and select audience of our cit
liens, many being relatives and friends
of the young ladies appearing in the va
rious scenes The costumes Of the dif-
ferent characters were chosen with
a tasteful regard to propriety, and
the delivery of the various long
speeches was successfully overcome
by all In the first part Miss Katie Van
Pelt as Queen Calypso, and Misses Flor
ence Patrick, Julia Willifred, Eva Lava
lette, Virgi Ward, Cora Noel and Lizzie
Howard as her attendants, looked charm
ing, and acted and spoke well. After
this there was the Four Winds Pre-
coded by Aurora" Miss Libbie Guyton
being Aurora, and Misses Efie DeLoach,
Julia Morgan, Katie Harris and George
Mehaffey being the -Four Winds and
executing dance in very graceful
manner. Part second introduced Miss
Lucie Mcclure as the Fairy Queen, there
being dance by her attendant fairies,
and then came the Gypsy Queen, Miss
Fair Harris, with her band of gipsies
who also performed neat dance Part
third was the most interesting one of the
evening, the gipsies and fairies singing
two choruses with degree of excellence
that charmed all present They were
very prettiy dressed and classified, the
gipsies being mostly dark-haired little
witches with tamborines, and the fairies
little sprites that could not fail to move
the heart of even crusty old bachelor
and cause him to exclaim how beauti-
full, how angelic are these little girls r.
Accompanying the gpsies were Mentor
Miss Bette Pulliam, and Teemagne-
Miss Maggie Graham, each Of whom de-
livered speech in very clear and
forcible manner At the conclusion of
the third part there was tableaux, in
which were about thirty young ladies'
queens, gipsies and fairies-arranged in
beautiful and graceful groups of lowell
ness. The entertainment concluded with
dialogues and conversations in French,
which the young ladies spoke with
fuency and accent highly crsditable to
themselves and their teacher-Professor
Villehulin. Every one present appeared
satisfied and delighted, evincing their
by applauding judiciously.
We heard many favorable comments on
the Lee Academy, and Mrs. Morgan may
