Four miles west of Arcadia. on the Mount
Lebanon road, the stages from this place TO

about one o'clock on the eighth instant the
stage bound west was halted at this point
by four armed men, each having handker.
chief over his face. The men were on foot.
and were armed with shotgurs. The driver
halted. The disguised robbers quickly
opened the mail bags and went through the
contents, making small pay ont OF the effort.
They kept this stage at a halt, until the
rambling Of the stage coming this way
was heard. when they hurried to nee:

line. informs US that the robbers told the
driver TO halt; asked him if he had any
whisky. 10 which he replied no: if lie
had any arms and that ne said no: and
then demanded his mail bags. when he told
them to take the bags at their peril. Three
of the robbers approached from one side of
the road and two from the other. the fifth
man coming up out OF the woods. They
required the passengers to come ont one by
one, and searched their pockets as they
came out. A passenger from Weatheriord.
