HighwaymeR at WOrk-ThTee Citizens
RObbed-The Robbers Pursued.

Three mounted robbers were on the beat
last night about three miles from the city,
on the MurfreesborO pike. 7. S. Simpson,
of the firm Of Woods i Simpson, while on
his way to the Asylum to see about some
work there he had under contract, was met
bv three highwaymen who presented cooked
pistols and demanded his watch and money.
Seeing it were useless to attempt resistance,
Mr.. Simpson readily complied with their
request so far as giving up his money,
which was only eighty-fye cents. The
peripatetic villains we're not very well pleased
with the small booty obtained, and insisted
upon getting Mr.. Simpsons watch, which
he fortunately did not have with him.
After permitting him to part,
minus his small change, the trio
proceeded a short distance down the pike,
and soon bounced upon Mr.. VIM. Estes,
who was returning from this city, where he
had sold a load of wood, to his home, about
four miles out on the MurfreesborO pike,
and not oyer a mile from where he formed
the acquaintance OF the robbers. He was
also introduced to a brace of pistols, and
told to fork up, but as he had
expended the proceeds of his wood,
sale Elm cheese, sugar and coffee, he had
DOIllll8 III Jllt SlldlIC VI luOllSy W COiIIAOuyS
to his captors. Being again disappointed
in their expected spoils, they confiscated
Mr.. Estes groceries, and by way of a part
ing memento struck him over the head with
a pistol, babe him pleasant good night and
left him to go home. Net being in
the most pleasant mood, and feel
ing none the more grateful for the blow
on his head, Mr.. Estes went to the nearest
neighbor and soon formed a party to pursue
the robbers. The party came into town
last night, having followed the three mount
ed men through the toll gate nearest the
city. Up to a late hour last night no
traces had been found that
would lead to the identity of these
men, who it seems were dOisg a general
robbery in Mr.. Estes neighbOrhood last
night. A gentleman named Murray was
also robbed, but in what amount we are
not informed. 1t is reported that the rob-
bers visited several farm houses, and the
citizens living on the Murfreesboro pike in
the vicinity Of the rObberies are determined
to ferret out the guilty parties. The police
last night were on sharp lookout for them.

BLUFFING A BORE.

Two gentlemen fell in together, both
travellers on horseback and strangers to each
other, when the following conversation took
place: "Raw evenin', sir rather" observed
the one, with an Aberdeen accent. "Yes,
rather" replied the other. "You will likely
be stranger in these parts?" continued the
Aberdonian. "IfI can, laconically replied
the other, looking neither 20 the right hand
nor the left. ''Perhaps, like myself, you
may be going on to Banff2" "Perhaps," re-
spond the other, yawnlng. 'In that case,
perhaps, you will put up at the Cullen?" 81
may or may not" answered his companion.
"Pardon me the liberty of the question, sir;
may 1 ask if you are bachelor" 'tNo.'
"Oh! married?' 'No, no" "Str, 1 beg
your pardon, 1 may have unfortunately
touched upon painful subjec'; your black
dress ought to have checked my inquiries,
beg pardon sir; widower?" mo, no, mop
''Neither bachelor, nor married man,
nor a widower! Then what can you be?"
ga divorced man, since you must know."
exclaimed the stranger, clapping his spurs
to his horse, and dashing out Of sight in an
instant

AN EFFECrIVE APPEAL.

An eminent Western lawyer once made
the following rather remarkable speech to
jury, in a case against railroad corpora
ton, where he appeared for the defense.
He was sure that, upon point of law saw
ed for the upper court, his clients would
get verdict in their favor. He addressed
the twelve somewhat as follows:
"Gentlemen of the jury, my clients have
fought good many cases before jury, and
always got whipped! They always expect
it. We don't look for verdict in our favor;
and in this case, we don't care whether you
give us a verdict or not. We have got you
now, gentlemen. Yes, gentlemen, we don't
care picayune whether you bring in YER
dict for or gainst us; for we've got you.
Do just as you please: it don't make any
difference to US; haven't anything more to
say"
And they gave him a verdict

Cotton SpIinters.

The late disastrous decline in cotton
brought about by the war news, has demon
alised the fraternity, and the call for a
class meeting was duly issued yesterday,
based upon the fact that the Big Injun was
operating on early information, and had
gone in ahead of the boys, gobbled greeny,
and got his crop half cent above the prices
paid by others. The meeting assembled at the
coon menageriG. Present-the old War
horse. Big Indian, dealer in fine grades,
Hicks, Bevins, jenkins, the Bird Fancier,
InnOcency and the Tycoon. The gay
masquerader and old frailty were conjuring
of by themselves how to cure the asthma.
The meeting was entirely harmonious
until the yigilant quotation maker aP-
peared, when there was loud and
uproarious applause, as it was well
known that he had persuaded his next
friend to enter the ranks, despite the many
threats of the Grand Jury. The quotation
