MOONING
SUDDEN REVENGE.

The Albany Argus of the 13th bee the following
—"Crossbar& was the scene of great excitement yseter.
any. We have given before an account of the raps of two
girls in that oeighboorhood by two ruffians. The girls were
out in the field picking berries lint Friday afternoon, whim
they were cruelly beaten and outraged by four villains.,
tee of whom-4 father and son—have been arrested. They
were arraigecd yesterday afternoon before Justice Butler
for aid. The excitement in the community was v
cset,. and seemed to increase se the trial
ts of lynching the prisoners were freely made
by the indignant populace, and the feeling against
thsea appeared to mauve every moment. ffir
the examination was in progress, the prisooers,
a mu named Major and his eon, sitting beside each other,
sae the Justice, Patrick Burns, a brother of the girls, ap-
peared at the door. He was armed with a revolver and
knife, and had come with a determination of taking sum.
mazy vengeance upon the destroyers of his two sheen. He
opened the door a few inches, and, taking aim, fired at the
old man, the bell taking effect in the fleshy part of the
forearm, about three lochs from the elbow, coming out at
the wriet. Major jumped up, and cried out :—" I ern shot!
catch that man r pointing towards young Burns. The ex
element was cow intense. The crowd rushed in, while
Bursa was more fierce then ever to finish the work lee had
determined to accomplish. To add to the frenzy of the
cooed, the mother of the girls now made her appearance,
es en accomphee of the son in the work of vengeance. The
two then rushed toward the prisoners ; the eon with
a revolver and knife ; the mother with a hatchet,
which she had until now concealed about her person. She
aimed a blow at the head of the elder Major, already suffer-
ing from his wounded arm, cutting him badly ; it might
bus proved fatal but for the interposition of ex-Caostabla
John Scanlon, who interposed in time to break its farce.
Determined to complete the work now begun, young Barns
fired another shot at the same man, taking aim between two
officers who were standing near him, the ball this time
poising through Major's thigh. The crowd had now largely
Screed, all deeply sympathising with the mother and
eon. A rush was made for the prisoners, with the
intention of lynching them as the spot. The cry
for vengeance from the frenzied mother and in.
lodated brother was taken up, and it was with
the utmost difficulty that the officers removed the
prisoners to a place of safety. In the oriefusion young
Borns got at the younger Major, and some say made an
attempt to stab him. John Scaoloo caught Burns, sod
accused hint of having the knife, which he denied, but
it was afterwards taken from hie pocket. Seeing that
the force there was insufficient to guard the lives of
the miaow', word war sent to Captain Hagadero, who
immediately proceeded to the emu with three officers,
and speedily restored order. The younger prawn:
bad fled for safety, and now rent to the polioe to say
where they cauld find him. He was arrested, as also
was Mn. Bars the mother of the unfortunate
girls, and her son and the two Majors were taken
to Troy at 7 o'clock. The mother of the girls was
in so crazed a state that it was deemed necessary to
handcuff her, and even then she had to be placed in a
cart and held by three men. Patrick Burns, the brother of
the girls, war accompanied to the depot by soother sister,
who seemed fairly heartsick ; end her weary lamentations,
so she trudged bareheaded over the dusty road, were
mournful indeed, and scarcely one saw her but pitied her.
Her Osten had been beaten and outraged by the ruffians,
and were suffering in their lonely homes ; her mother and
broths, who had madly attempted to wreak vengeance upon
the destroyer of their happineee, were handcuffed and bores
off to gaol in company with the hated villains. The unwise

family were suffering. The mother and brother, who
sought to vindicate by force the good name of daughters and
sorters, were borne to the same prison with the wretches
who bed deliberately plotted and executed a hellish
