HIGHWAY ROBBERY. A young
farmer named Williamowitz, resident
Of the town of Mitllin, was attacked
10y two unknown men, on the high
way between this city and the vii
lage of Miillin, one evening last week
about seven o'clock, and after being
shot in the arm, was robbed Of over
$500 which he had collected during
the day from farmers for whom he
had done throshing The robbers
were desperate and clearly deter
mined to accomplish their purpose
even though murder were necessary
to do it. There is well defined
suspicion as to who the villains are.
and lively hope that sufficient evil
dence will be developed to warrant
their arrest. They are, no doubt,
part Of a gang well known in this
locality.

was SO many years a pastor, in the
Welsh Settlement west of this city,

monuments in the State. 1t is of
Scotch granite; III feet high, and
weighing 81 to 7 tuns. The cost,
Sl,l0o, was paid on delivery of the
stone. having been contributed by
the members and attendants of the
two churches which Mr.. Davis had
served with faithfulness and zeal
that reflected honor upon himself
ana his sacred calling.

this locality. When she had pro-

young gent, who sympathetically
seized the burden from the arms that
held itand gallantly conveyed it to the
proper place, lit the fire and in
words that would do credit to the
great Webster, promised her that
the like should not occur again, and
that he would make sure of a load
being placed at her door before the
sun set the next day. The above is
all well enough, but we hereby take
the opportunity to remind our hero
of his promise, for the sun has set
more than thrice, and the fuel many
miles away for aught anyone knows

season will be the lecture of Schuv-
