ANOTHER HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-
Our town was thrown into a state of
excitement, on Tuesday evening last,
by the news that Mr.. Geo. C. Scott,
a resident of this county and highly
respected citizen, had been robbed of
% dollars and q gold watch, about 4
miles west of this place on the Bedford
turnpike.
Mr.. Scott was returning from this
place where he had come in the morn
ing, and when on this side of the old
Toll Gate heard some one call him to
stop. Seeing man with mask on
his face, Mr.. s. started his horses at
full speed down the pike. The robber
seeing Mr.. Scott's intention, ran and
jumped over bank in front of
him and caught hold of one of the
horses. Mr.. S. jumped out of the bug
gy when the robber presented revol-
yer. The horses became unmanagea-
and tore loose from the buggy after
breaking it considerably. One of the
horses got away and was not found un-
til Wednesday morning. The robber

ANOTHER BIG SNAKE.-On We'd
nesday evening week, Mr.. Robert v.
Campbell put an end to the existence
of one of the largest rattle-snakes ever
killed in this county. His snakeship,
it appears had gone into quarters for
the night under the steps that lead in
to the kitchen. Mr.. C.'s attention was
drawn to the spot by the barking of
his dog when his snakeship was dis
covered. He measured feet 6 inches
in length and Y inches around the bod

THE CROPs.-From all parts of the
county we hear the most fattering
news of the wheat crop, now being
gathered in. All admit that the yield
has not been better for years. Oats
were never better, while corn, under
the late genial showers, promises
to give very fair crop. All this
is good news for the poor man and
the farmer, and, but for the financial
depression caused by the reckless poll
cy of the radical party, labor would be
in better demand and the producer
would find a reader market for what
he has to sell. AS it is, labor lies idle
and wheat lies unsoId in the granaries.

ESCAPE OF ONE OF THE CATTLE
THIEVES On last Thursday morning
one of the cattle thieves confined in our
county Jail, scaled the walls of that in
stitution and made good his escape.
The prisoners were let out in the prls-
on yard, as usual, that morning, and
during the temporary absence of the
Sheriff, this fellow managed to break
off his hobbies, and by the aid of few
poles and a rope that happened to be in
the yard he got over the wall easily.
Just few mornings before, these same
chaps were caught attempting to cut
their way through the prison wall.

tured at Cumberland.
