The late snow storm made it feel wintry in the Sunny South, so much talked of. Boards and slaves were nailed together, improvising tempo rary sleighs, dinner bells put on the horses and mules and snow balling, which the boys enjoyed while they found use for the mictens sent them from their northern home. Monday, the first day, was reception of visitors; Tuesday, squirrel hunt; Wednesday, quail hunt; at night opossum hunt; Thursday, rab bit chases; Friday, squirrel hunt; Satur day, wild turkey hunt. The weeks pro- gram was interspersed with other inter esting features, southern barbecue, pos som supper and banjo playing, dancing, singing, mouth organ and reed playing by colored men and women.

A BOLD STREET ROBBERY.


 Beers was returning from this village to her home in Coram, she was attacked by two young men, when short dis tance from her home, in a lonely place, one of them holding his hand over her eyes and the other seizing small hand bag that lay in the bottom of the wagon. She screamed and they jumped from the wagon and ran away. The hand bag, fortunately, contained but little of value and they threw it away soon afterward and it was later found by MT Beers. By description of the young men seen by several in different localities that after noon and especially coming from the direction of Mrs Beers route home, the rfficers were enabled to locate them as residents of Derby and Chief Tomlinson went over there and enlisted Chief Arnold and they soon secured William Galway. As the chief took hold of him he denied his name and twisted out of his overcoat but the chief was too quick for him. The other one, Thomas Walsh, gave himself up the next morning and told how the robbsry occurred. The prosecuting at- torney, owing to the favorable reports of Walsh, brought against him only the charge of assault, of which he plead guilty and was fined $20 and costs, which his friends paid. Galway also after finding that it was all known, plead guilty and was bound over to the Superior court, aris, fpaf I tof fss fyr I fault of bonds. Galway, although only F years of age, is reported to be one of the toughs and it is thought that some of the street robberies in Birmingham were the work of his hands.
 On Saturday the hearing of the men charged with the robbery of the Cotton mill pay roll was continued. The evi- dence was very direct against them, MT Spaldipg having identified three of them who were present at the robbery. The officers have failed to secure one man, the one who hired the horse at filings stable in Derby that morning. He and the four under arrest, namely Edward J. O'Hara, William Tassock, William Mo Closkey and Michael J. Ryan were traced to Hendricks saloon and of the three men who were present at the robbery, two were in the sleigh hired from filling an hour previous. The three were also identified by W. F. Askam, who met them as they were crossing the bridge. O'Hara was at the stable when the un. known man hired the horse and sleigh was afterward in the saloon with the other men, later was at the place where the men jumped out of the sleigh ane still later was seen with Ryan going to wards Derby with package under hi coat about the size of the missing one The defence put in no evidence, and pro pose to submit without argument whicl | was agreed to by the counsel for th, state and the court found probable caus' and bound them over to the next crimina term of the Superior court which will b
 held in May next. O'Hara gave bonds his father, ohm O'Hara of Derby ,becom l ing bondsman and the other three wer taken to jail in default of bonds.

TRAVELLING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
 The effects of the late blizzard are plainly visible and many of our roads are yet impossible. It is impossible to get out of town north by any of the main roads. People are obliged to go through fields, over stone walls and into snow banks and travelling by night is especial ly dangerous.
 The social given by the ''Junior Chris tian Endeayorers" at the church parlors was we'll attended, considering the in- clemeney of the weather. The children ente rtained their friends in an admirable manner and everything passed off satis factory, which was doubtless very grat- flying to their friends and teacher, Miss Sinclair, whose efforts are untiring in behalf of the little ones. The admission was one lemon. Cake and lemonade was served by the young members to their friends. The history, given by the children, of the different manner in which the money was earned for the work in which they are interested was quite amusing. The original poem by Miss Birdie Beardsley of how she earned 30 cents was worthy of mention. Mas ter Wilbur and Maggie Benedict sang and played duet which was very en- tertaining. A goodly sum was realized to swell the fund for missionary work.
 Mrs s. B. Beardsley is coavales cipg and will soon be able to resume her duties to her friends and family.

The three Donazettas made splen- did impression in their opening perform ances at the Wonderland. They are re- markedly shllful gymnasts, perform ing the most sensational and surprising feats with an ease and grace that are charming. They are remarkable pan tomimists, too, introducing the most amusing facial comedy into their act. Clayton and Jenkins, with their trick mule Jasper, would make a Quaker laugh, the funny antics they go through being most comically amusing, The pretty Washburn sisters sing some very pretty character songs in a sweetly att tractive way, and Daisy Mayors pick anninies dance themselves into every body's appreciative favor Harris and Walters, Griffin and Bryce, Allan May, and the charming little Ferguson broth CTS, round out an entertainment that compares favorab1y with the best given this season at the Wonderland.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion.


 This morning at o'clock the box off, | flee at the Hyperion will open for the advance sale of seats for "Trilby," |" which will be presented at the Hyperion on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by A. M. PaImer's unrvalled company "Trilby," that idyl of the Quarter Latin, | that enchanting romance of artist life | in Paris, wherein the truth is told and seen as only poet and painter can | see and tell it; a tale like the Greek | language as young Coleridge described | 1t, Ito which nothing was vulgar, from which nothing was excluded;" a vision of womanly gentleness, sweetness and varied charm, shown against a. back ground of triviality and sensuality; the single hint of the novel, during all the life of the characters in the studio, of Svengalls mesmeric power over "Trll- by," Is enlarged into boding ominous threat. Put into actual words and fra- quently repeated, and the relations of Little Billee and the heroine are finally made to be determined by Svengali's ex- | ercise.
 At the Hyperion theater on next Mon day evening, May 27, DeWolf Hopper will be seen in his latest and funniest of all comic operas entitled "Dr. Syn tax" The favorite comedian will be supported by a most excellent company, which includes his charming wife, Ed na Wallace-Hopper Bertha Waltzing CT, formerly a leading member of the fa- nous Bostonians; Jennie Goldthwaite, the fascinating soubrette; Alice Hosmer and Florine Murray, two capital come diennes, as well as Cyril Scott, Edmund Stanley, Alfred Klein, T. S, Guise and many others equally well known. Sprightly, tuneful "Dr. Syntax" will be presented here exactly as it was for eleven weeks at the Broadway theater, New York city. The engagement in this city will be positively limited to one night only, the reserved seats for which will be placed on sale on next Thursday morning.
