HIGHwAyMENi--On Saturday night, the
9th inst. as a gentleman residing in the
lower part of this county, was riding along
in his buggy through the woods between
Blackbird and Smyrna, where the camp
meeting was held, last Summer, man
suddenly sprang out into the road and at
tempted to seize the horse by the bride,
but the horse jumped aside and qniokened
his pace, and tho villain missed his aim.
The night was so dark that the gentleman
could not see whether his assailant was
white or black, but being well armed with
revolver, he felt no fear whatever, and
contented himself by simply saying to the
rnffian as he passed him, that he would
shoot him if he stopped his horse. 1t is a
pity that he did not pierce his head with
bullet. Another gentleman was assailed
some weeks ago, about mile west of this
town, in the night, and large stone hurl-
ed through the curtain of his carriage from
the roadside as he passed. He did not see
who did it as it was too dark.

quested some one to pass around the
hat and take up collection. A young
man, stranger in the place, jumped
up and commenced circulating the
hat in such way as to finish the job
at the door and pass out with the pro-
ceeds. The preacher, eyeing him as
he went out, observed: "If that young
man runs away with that money, he'll
be damned" A deacon sitting by the
window, seeing him make of down the
