person who will give such information
as will convict some outrageous villain
or villains, or some unprincipled, noc-
turnal incendiarics, who wantonly and
.fellcnious!y cut the cover of our wagon
on Saturday night, and on last Sunday
night, 3oth inst. at the same place, cut
and destroyed the spokes Of the afore-
said wagon, to the total destruction Of the
same-also the tongue Of the same taken
entirely off. This act of violence com
mitted by some unknown person, whose
principles must be worse than any pi-

becomes the duty of every, good and
