of the 16th of Fehruaq,

daughters were in. bed,. a yident.knOcking was heard
at the door, which was soon-after isunt in br several
men, armed with pistols, pick-ater, &c. who rushed
into her chamber: the defendants were among them,'
and Dawson encouraged the gang to beat the brains
out of anybody who should attempt to assist the females.
A boy who resided in the house came into the room,
whom they beat most cruelly, and then assailed the
eldest daughter, 16 years of 'age, who was almost
naked. One of the fellows knocked her down stairs,
another struck her with a crow-bar, and a third
'kicked her. Her sister, who is 19, was,tcented with
but little more lenity ; and one of them discharged a
pistol, loaded with powder, in the boy's face. A
series-of assaults of this kind took place. Thehouse
became a scene of the most frightful confusion. A
crowd gathered about the dt)or, but they were so
much amazed at the strangeness of the incident, that
