Night before last, at the house of man
named Dixie, near Palmetto Cor Montgomery's
store). between Shelbyyille and Lewisburg,
a man presented himself, disguised in a black
half-mlsk, and demanded of Dixie fifty dol
lars i'll money. Mr.. Dixie replied that he
had nc money, when the robber drew pis-
tol and ordered him to - hustle round" among
the nei@hbors and procure it,
Dixie, glad OF an excuse to escape with his
lite, repaired to a nei9hbOr's and endeavored
to borrow the sum required by his uncere
monious visitor. His neighbor refused to let
him have the money for any such purpose.
" But what am l to do when ! 90 back to
him? - demonstrated Dixie. x Go and kill
the scoundrcl,' was the reply. Dixie said he
had no pistol. His neighbor told him to go
| round 10 two or three adjacent houses and
gather up posse, and When lie got back he
would have gun loaded with duckshot for
him.
Dixie assembled his posse, took the gun
and proceeded back to his house. As he ap-
preached it he was met by the disguised rob
ber on horseback, who halted the party, at
the same time eXclaiming % Is that you,
DiIke?' " Yes 8 Have you got the mon
cy ?n Yes" Bring it here then" Dixie
refused to DO this and told the gentleman i'll
disguise to come and get it. The robber
spurred his horse up for that purpose, when
Dilke fired. The horse wheeled with the
rider and galloped Il few PAGES down the
road, when the man fell from him and ex-
pired. He was shot through the body. When
the mask was removed it revealed the feat

A WITTY REroRr A pungent little Incl
dent occurred in an argument before the Su-
prcme Court, on Friday last-hetween Messrs.
H. b. Harrison and L. +. Doolittle, Esqrs.,
counsl in the matter of the Derby Railroad
injunction. MIR. Harrison was contending
that, inasmnch as the Legislature did, only
six days before the expiration of the charter,
execute important legislation, in reference to
the completion of the Derby Railroad, it was
ridiculous to argue that its charter could
be forfeited by the old terms Of non-comple-
ton at u certain period-or that the Legisla-
ture could possibly expect the railroad to be
completed in six days At this point, Mr..
Doolitlc, (who was making shaap-iight on
the other side,) suggested that possibly
brother Harrison had read OF little incident
in sacred history, in which u work of nearly
ine size and Importance of the Derby Rail
road was completed in six days? He referred
to the creation of the world"
