THE DAILY APPEAL
ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY

About ten o'clock yesterday fore
noon, ~ Mr.. Spoouer was coming to
town in buggy, accompanied by his
brothers wife and sick child on their
way to consult a physician. and when
about mile beyond Swift's Station on
the Lake Bigler grade, a man came
down the side of the mountain into the
road, presented pistol and ordered
Mr.. Spooner to halt, and get out of the
buggy. The command was obeyed. The
horses then taking fright, ran away,
capsIzed the buggy, throwing the woman
and child out and breaking of the top
of the vehicle. AS they started to run,
the highwayman snapped his pistol at
Mrs. Spooner. Tue horses ran q con-
siderable distance, and meeting team
aud endeavoring to pass between them
and the bank were stopped and secured.
Meantime the robber 60 went through
Mr.. S. and finding no coin released him
and took up the side Of the mountain
and disappeared. The interrupted party
then came into town. The man who
stopped them is described as about six
feet high. wearing grey shirt (no coat
and canvass pastaloons. He had
handkerchief tied over his head. Sheriff
Butler and Policeman Lewis started in
pursuit, with what success we have not
learned. The affair occurred about 10
miles from Carson.

WHY SHE DIDN'T MARRY HIM.

No, she wouldn't marry me. You were
misinformed. 1t was broken off, and in
the saddest way. was not in the least to
blame, upon my word and honor, though
neither the girl nor her father, the deacon,
ever believed, or ever fOrgave me. 1t was
during the big election canvass, when
Lincoln ran the first time. Two-thirds |
of the deacon's honest soul were in reli-
gion, and the other third was in politics
Lincoln man. | never was a scoffer at
religion in my life, but he half believed |
was. Well, there was to be political
pow-wow in the village church where he
lived, on Thursday nfght, and he was to
preside. l never thought anything about
the matter, but Williams hailed me one
afternoon, offered me seat in his buggy,
and away we started. 1t was Wednesday
curse the almanac-but we never
thought of it. Going into town, some
devilish instinct put it into my head that
it would help my case along if | marched
into church with rail on my shoulder,
seeing that the deacon and the girl would
both be there. So got rail, and we
came into town shouting and making
grand TODD generally. As | went by the
church windows l caught glimpse of her
bonnet and plenty of other bonnets, and |
was happy. shouldered my rail and
marched in. The houseful of men and
women were all quiet, and the old deacon
was standing up in the altar saying some
thing. Splendid! I went booming up
the aisle with my rail, swinging my hat
and whooping:
"Hoo-ray for old Abe-hoo-ray for the
Illinois rail splitterE'
But never yelp out of that audience.
Iquit, right in my tracks. The deacon
said
"Sir, we are engaged in addressing the
Throne of Grace. This unseemly exhibit
ton is ill fitted to the solemnities of a
prayer meeting"
I never felt so sick in my life, John.
never felt so much like taking walk
And don't you know, I'd have given Q
million dollars for somebody to take that
rail out for me. But no, had to sneak
out with it myself. threw it down, and
went up to where there was board fence
and practiced climbing backward and for
ward through knot-hole for as much al
apbonr. But my goose was cooked, yor
know. u WIS all up between me ana
that family. : ,-sr,s--s---

A Prisoner.

The township of Lafayette, Sussex county,
New Jersey, is considerably excited at the pres
ent time over some revelations made by wo-
man named White just previous to her dissOlu-
ton, which took place last Saturday. The par
ticulars Of her confession are horrible in tile ex-
IRENE, and, if true, would indicate that the fe-
rocious spirit of Lucretia BOrgia has found an
other shocking parallel in these latter days.
Our correspondent writes ms that the woman
White, who was widow, fell victim to con-
sumption. Being member of the Methodist
Church, she sent for some of her fellow members
to attend her in her dying hours, and stated to
them that about seven years ago she poisoned
her infant child SO that it died. A year or so
after she administered poison to her husbands
father and he died too. Later still, on the re-
turn Of her husband from the army, she dealt
to him also fatal potion, and he, too, passed to
the spirit land The miserable woman has
borne good character, as also do her relatives.
they are poor people. The only reason assign
ed for making this dying declaration is that she
desired to rid her conscience Of this immense
load of crime prior to her death. She was per-
icctly sane up to the time of her deccasc.

THE SONG OF THE PRINTER.

Pick and click
Goes the type in the stick,
As the printer stands at his case
His eyes glance quick, and his fingers pick
The type at a rapid pace;
And one By one as the letters 60,
Words are piled up steady and slow
Steady and slow,
But still they grow,
And words oil fire they soon will glow:
Wonderful words that without q SQUAD
Traverse the earth to its utmost bodnd;
Words that shall make
The tyrant quake,
And the letters OF the Oppressed shall break,
Words TINT can crumble an armys might,
Or treble its strength in righteous fight.
Yet the type they look but leaden nd dumb,
As he puts them in place with finger and thumb (;
But the printer smiles,
And his work beguiles
ny chanting a song as the letters he piles,
With pick and click,
Like the worlds chronometer, tick tick tick
0, where is the man with such simple tools
Can govern the world like |!
With printing press, an iron stick,
And little leaden die,
With paper OF white and ink Of black,
support the Right and the Wrong attack.
Say, where is he, or who may he be,
That can rival the printers power
To no monarchs that live the wall doth he give
Their sway lasts only an hour;
While the printer still grows an Col only knows
When his might shall cease to tower.
