on the robber. He was then in the mid
die OF the road. He began firing either
at the horses or at the driver and pas
sengers upon the stage. The horses
became fractious and began to rear and
plunge about. He then seized the
leaders by the reins, but was compelled
to relinquish bis hold. A second at
tempt vas made, and he was forced to
let 90. In the meantime, Mr.. Carly
fred small pistol at the robber but, the
ball did not strike him. He then turned
aside and entered the woods. The stage
passed on. and went rapidly down
Spruce Hill, at the bottom OF which it
stopped, the leaders having broken the

state they saw two other men with
slouched hats over their faces standing
in the woods. ono on each side Of the
road, not far from the stage, aud they
supposed them to be contederates. As
soon as the stage reached Glen Station,
Mr.. Miliken. proprietor OF the Glen
House., was. notified by telegraph Of
what had happened. He gave orders to
let no team pass, and set watch at
every road, 30 as to intercept the rob-
Der, if possible. Many think he has q
large store OF provisions, 20 40 to enable
him to subsist for several weeks In the
woods. Gov. Bell has been telegraphed
asking for reward to be offered for the
apprehension of the robber. Tho driver
acted with great GOODNESS. and is entitled
