HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-WhileM Mr.. Orr
Formerly major was on his way to
Poultney from Pawlet by way of Lake
Austin, on what is called the lake road,
at O'Clock p. m, Tuesday, in secluded
spot, he met q man walking towards
him in his shirt sleeves, and when up
to him the man caught the horses by
the bits, and before Mr. Orr had time
to think what to do, blanket was
thrown over his head from behind by
another person. He was then dragged
into the bushes close by, and there rob
bed of So, 200. Mr.. Orr thinks he must
have lain in the bushes about an hour
when he woke up, as if from natural
sleep, and found his coat taken off and
his papers scattered on the ground. No
clue to the perpetrators. An another
pocket he had 500, which they did not
find. Mr.. Orr is collector for the town
of Pawlet, and was on his way to make
a deposit in the National Bank of Poul-
they.

PASTORAL COLDNEss.-A lady, recen-
tly, in giving her views of the preach
ing of minister to whom she had lis
tened several times, said II thought
it was the business of the minister to
feed the sheep. The man don't feed us;
he only throws clubs and stones at us,
and sends us bleating and hungry
home" Many one might gather a
useful hint from this, as the proper mode
of dealing with the flock of Christ.
Harshness, severity, fault-tinding, ac-
complish but little good in the family
the church and the world. True, it is
the pastors duty to admonish and re-
form sin, but always in the spirit of the
Master, a scolding minister never yet
succeeded in anything but scattering
the flock, and weakening the hold upon
the affections of his people.-There is q

spirit and kind words.-Spuryeon.

A grand procession of all the

idea of the number of clubs may

and Mobile has been laid under
contribution to furnish bands, and
possibly Memphis and Louisville
also.
The following resolution was
introduced in the Legislature yes
terday:
Whereasitis currently reported,
and generally believed, that Gov.
Yarmouth has received compen-
sation for signing bills and with
holding his signature from the
same, and that he has also receiv-
ed pay for making appointments
to high and important official
position in the State government;
and whereas, members of the Leg
islature are charged with having
received money to secure their
votes for the passage of certain
bills designed for the benefit of
individuals; therefore
Be 1t resolued, That committee
of three, on the part ofthe Senate,
be appointed to investigate these
charges, and report to the Senate,
with a view, to an impeachment Of
the Governor and expulsion of
the guilty members, if found
amenable to the charges.
Resolution tabled by 16 to8.
