Daring Highway Robbery A Han
Robbed of S28. 600

From the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal, Sept. IL. ]
One Of the most daring and successful
highway roboerieS that we have ever been
called upon to record, was perpetrated 10
this city on Tuesday night, by which Cap
tain Webb, late Of the Fortieth Indiana,
was relieved of $2S,0 900 in greenbacks and
Government bonds. Captain Webb lives
near Stockville, in this county, and was
on his way to purchase land in Illinois
Previous to leaving home on Tuesday
morning, he had made himself a belt to
wear around his body, into which he placed
his money. The whole amount, twenty
eight thousand dollars, as above stated, he
put into different envelopes, so that it could
be equally distributed around his body
That sum comprised every dollar he was
worth in the world. He says he was not
aware that living soul knew that he had
the money with him. He was in the city
a portion of the day and between nine
and ten o clock started alone for the Wa
bash depot to take the train West, which
leaves between ten and eleven While
passing along the walk, beside the railroad
track, about half way between Main and
Ferry streets four men sprang from be-
hind some frelglJ cars standing on the
side track. One of them put handker-
chief over his mouth and around his neck
another grasped his hands from behind
and drew him into the shadow, while the
others rlicd his person, taking his belt
and contents, and everything else of value
about him. He had small m emorandum
book with him containing the numbers of
the Government bonds In his belt; it was
taken, SO that he has no means Of stop
ping their negotiation or payment After
the villains had completed their job, they
took to their heels and he saw no more

RUSSIA CoRN.-A Washington dispatch

RUSSIA IoRN-A Washington dispatch
says:
The Commissioner Of Agriculture has
jus: gathered a crop Of Russia Corn, sue
ccssfully grown in the Experimental Garden
here The corn is a small deep-rcd ker-
mel, upon an ear averaging ) inches long,
and q thick. The stalk does not exceed
six feet in height; the ears set low, two on
a stalk They ripen in forty days, and in
usual seasons two crops can be grown. The
Commissioner proposes to introduce this
variety as an article for use, when in the
early months the seed corn planted, from
unfavorable weather, predicts failure in
crops. The shucks contain six per cent.
more nutrimcnt than those Of the Indian,
and the portions usually gathered for bed
ding and mattresses are believed to be more
elastic while as fine.

IGNORING THE RADIcALs.-A correspondent Of
a Memphis paper, suggests that the Southern
Press ought, for the present, at least to say as
little as possible about political affairs, in that
case the Ra licals would be deprived of their
political pa5ulnm, and, having 10 capital to
labor upon, would soon become bankrupt. Upon
reflection, we are rather. inclined to think that
the foresaid Washington Correspondent is just
about right We say too much. We give life to
the Radicals by noticing them. By''letting them
alone severely" we destroy their power.
Now, there is no paper in the South that takes
more pleasure in speaking Of our neble soldier
boys and our gallant officers and of the glorious
cause for which we struggled SO long and Sc inef-
fcctaallyi but all this is only gratifying to our
pride 1t can accomplish no good for our down
trodden section and it is, perhaps, best after all,
that we should say as little as possible. Perhaps
we may have said too much already; but we
can't take back anything that we have said here
tofore, we can only suggest more reticence here
after and suspension of expressions of opinion
as far as we eaR consistently submit to. Let the
Press of the South try it a while and We really
believe that it will assist very greatly in fastening
the downfall of the Radical junto at Washington
whose destruction seems inevitable, if the op
positionais only properly and cautiously con.
ducted. Wbylnot try the experiment.

No little confusion and annoyance was mani
tested on Monday, by the non-arrival of the mail
1t was reported left at Frog Level, and the New
berry Office thrown out; that we would have no
mails for an indefinite time So serious an in
convenience must be-rnet, and subscription was
at once made to defFay. the expense Of sending
to that important point for it, which was done
Subsequently it was ascertained not to have been
l # there, but taken up the road until meeting
the down train, and turned over to the mail agent
who considerably dropped it here some hours
beyond the usual time. The difficulty is that the
old incumbent had not capacity sufficient to take
ard retain the required cath, consequently the
Office was ordered thrown out in the distribution.
1t is believed that the difficulty viii be adjusted
shortly candidate having been found equal to
the emergency. In the meantime the mails will
be delayed an hour or two beyond, The usual
time, until brought from Frog Level, where we
understand they win be left for the present. p

Speaking Of fashions we find place for a sug-
gestive incident, which it is to be hoped will
prove warning to others similarly situated The
scene took place at Detroit, during the baptism
of young lady. TIE minister requested her to
assume the dress peculiar to such occasions, but
she declined TO take off her hooped skirt; the
zaiaiste. told her of The inconvenience that would
result from her obstinacy, but like true female
she persisted; but when she came 10 descend into
the bath the inflated skirt touched the water and
rose up around her like baHoon-her head was
lost to the congregation, she was swallowed up
in the swelling skirt, The minister then tried to
force her down into the bath, but she was kept
above the surface by the floating properties Of
crinoline, and wes buoyed up so successfully that
it was after much difficulty, ana many forcEble
attempts to submerge the lady, that the minister
succeeded in baptizing the fair one. 1t is said
that the amount of 'Iarftcr" done in the pocket
hankerchiefs of shat congregation during the
ceremony was "immeasuTably immense.

than the dropping of pipe stem. Spaceeot ad-

only principal features, and that briefly. A pret-
ty fair sprinGEng had already arrived. Unfor-

A party was finally prevailed upon to take water,
but having deliberated so long tne fish had taken
to their heels, and were out of the way, for only
half dozen were caught. Luckily baskets were
plenty, and we'll filed, and though every one had
expected the first course would he fish, yet when
dinner was ready and the tempting spread dis.
played to the hungry company, no, adisappont=
ment was felt. The dinner was capital, and as
various as it was excellent, and abundant, and

gentlemen than the ladies however because Of
its high seasoning, being perhaps a tFife TOO
strong for the latter. The musical star which
arose int East, and set amid a. brighter con-
stellation Of stars, was set off to the ladies' for
the gentlemea's soup. Dancing in the old mill
terminated the days frolic, so far as we know,
