.Beavare of the Villain !!

ESCAPED from this place on the
night of the 22d instant, a scoundrel
in human shape, who calls himself by
the name of WILLIAM DAVIS 10y pro-
lession Hatter.) He came to this
place about the End day of July last,
and commenced boarding at my house
on that day, and continued to do SO.
up to his elopement, for which he new.
er paid me one cent, either for his
board or washing during the whole
of this time. On the night above
mentioned, about 10 o'clock, he left
my house in company with a young
man by the name Of Alexander l..
Drayden, by profession printer. Da.
Wis left nothing behind him but an ins
solent letter directed to those whom il
nigh; concern, apprizing them, that
he had taken French leave &c. Davis
is about 5 feet 7 inches high, pale
complexion, dished face and pug nose |;
quite agreeable in conversation, and
rather intelligent than otherwise, dress.
ed in brown frock coat and pantaloons.
| think it necessary to caution the
public agains. this fellow, because
have been informed of circumstances
Of suspicious character, such as his
having large quantity of different siz
ed keys, and it is said he made pro-
posal to one of his acquaintance to
join in making fslonious use of these
keys. He has with him black lea,h.
er valice, with what the saddlers call a
bunch of pears at each end.

HAMPSHIRE County,, Set:

a
Samuel 0. Hendron, made oath ac-
cording to law, before me justice &c.
that he was born in Shenandoah coun.
ty, and resided in that county, and on
the borders of it, except two years til
January, 1882, and is now about q
years Of age. He knew BLAcKLEY
MARTIN we'll from bis boyhood, til
he ,(Mariin) left The county Of She.
nandoah. Martin bore then always
the character of an honest man.
Affiant well recollects the charge OF
steaing Corn preferred against Mar.
tin byJAMEs KAHN, the result. Of which
was the honorable acqui.tal of Martin
by the justices before whom he ap-
peared on the warrant of arrest. The
prosecution did net at all injure Mar.
tins character. The opinion of the
community was that Kahn had been
guilty Of perjury, and many thought
and since SAID, that Kahn himself had
stolen the corn, which he charged
Martin with having stolen. Aflianl
knew Kain and his character we'll un-
Ill Kahn left that part of the county
about four years ago-time not ex-
aclIy recollected. Kain is man oil
the most Infamous character, he has
been repeatedly prosecuted for char.
ges of stealing, &c. Warrants have
been repeatedly issded for his appre-
tension on all which occasions he
absconded--changed his residence and
eluded the prosecution. Atlantis well
satisfied that Kain would not be believ.
ed on oath where he is known, and
has heard, that Col. Carson swore in
court, at Woodstock, that he would not
believe Kahn on oath. 1t is only a
few weeks since that Affiant being in
Frederick was told, by magistrate of
that county, that Kain who now resides
near Middletown had recently been de.
tec.ed in an attempt as it was believed
to steal some fat sheep-he KAN was
seen to come out OF a thicket, un-
der suspicious circumstances, and on
search it was found that he had sew.
eral fat sheep which belonged TO a
neighbouring farmer pened up in con-
cealed place. Affiant knows that Kain
is now considered a rog ue ia the neigh
bourhood where he resides. In short,
Affiant had he been examined as a
witness in the cause recently tried be-
tween B. Martin and w. Dougherty,
would have testified and will at any
proper time testify, that Kahn is
wholly unworthy of belief on oath.

The value and influence of such

depend on the accuracy Of lis state

into its columns. Its object being the
dissemination oftruth, it can only be
obtained by securing the confidence Of

FOLLY.


[From Blackwood's Megazine.l
There is folly in all the world,
Or 60 we eat or west,
A folly that vexes the old,
And keeps the young from rest.
The miser has folly enough,
For his soul is in sordd bags.
And the spendthrift's folly, alas !
Brings him to sin and rags.
There is folly in the statesman's schemes,
For, spite Of their plotting and wit,
There's wiser hand above
That leads them with bride and bit.
There's folly in power and pride,
That makes full many to fall,
There's folly in maiden's love,
But that is The sweetest of all.
But ofall the follies, the worst
For it stings with constant smart,
The scorpion Of the mind =
Is that of "a thankless heart.
For the thankless heart is cursed.
And with blessings encompass,d grieves
For it cannot rejoice with the hand
Andt gives nor YET receives.
To be thankful makes better the good:
And if Heaven should send US i'll,
There is kindness in him that gives
So let US be thankful still.
o let US be thankful in youth,
And let us be thankful in age
And let US be thankful through life,
For there's pleasure in every stage.
Youth has its own sweet joys,
And he must be blind as bat,
Who cannot see loves sweet smile,
And will not be thankful for that.
There are friends the dearest to cheer,
Ere half our sand il run
And affection makes wintry days
AS bright as the summers sun.
And when from the dearest on earth
We part, let us hope tits given
A boon to be .thank'd for still
To meet them again in heaven.
