his manners were simple and unassuming He
introduced himself to the people Of Cumberland
bv exposing himself completely naked in the
streets Of that town. He VAS prevented from
proceeding far in this situation, aud forced to put
on his clothes; to this he yielded without n,ur
mer Having repeated this cnn'luct several
times. he was taken up and imprisoned, where
he remained short time, when he was dismissed
by the Sheriff with an injunction To return home.
He promised Ito use his own words, emphatical-
y expressed that fit were his Masters GW

The citizens finding that all coercive meas
