ESCAPED from this place on the
night oftbe 22d instant, scoundrel
in human shape, who calls himself by
The name of WILLIAM DAVIS (by pro.
tession Hauer.) 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 tine. On the night above
mentioned, about 10 o'clock, he left
my house in company with young
man by the name Of Alexander L.
Drayden, by profession a printer. Da.
Wis left nothing behind him but an in.
solent letter directed to those whom it
nigh; concern, appriEing 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.
I think it necessary to caution the
public against this fellow, because |
have been informed of circumstances
Of suspicious character, such as his
having large quantity OF different siz :
ed keys, and j, is said he made pro-
posal to one of his acquaintances TO
join in making felonious use of these
keys. He has with him black leath.
er valice, with what the saddlers call a
bunch of pears at each end.

HAMPSHIRE County,, Set:

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 or
the borders of it, except two years ill
January, 1882, and is now about q
years Of age. He knew BLAckLEy
MARTIN we'll from his boyhood, till
he (Martio) left the county of She.
nandoah. Martin bore then always
the character Of an honest man.
Affiant we'll recollects the charge OF
stealing Corn preferred against Mar.
tin byJAMEs KAHN, the result OF which
was the honorable acquittal Of Martin
by the justices before. whom he ap.
peared on the warrant of arrest. Phe
prosecution did not at all injure Mar.
Tins character. The opinion Of the
community was that Kain 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. Affiant
knew Kahn and his character well I'M
til Kahn left that part of the county
about four years ago-time not ex-
actly recollected. Kahn is man OF
the most infamous character, he has
been repeatedly prosecuted for char.
ges Of stealing, &c. Warrants have
been repeatedly issued for his appre-
hension !; on all which occasions be
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, al Woodstock, that he would not
believe Kain 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.
tected in an attempt as it was believed
to steal some fat sheep-he Kaia was
seen to come out of a thicket, I'M
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 a con-
cealed place. Affiant knows that Kain
is now considered rogue ia the neigh
bourhood where he resides. In short,
Afiant had he been examined as q
witness in the cause recenAy tried be-
tween B. Martin and w. Dougberiy,
would have testified and will at any
proper time testify, that Kahn is
wholly unworthy of belief on oath.

THE FADING OF THE WOODS
Splendor is on the Dough.
The whitening leaves fall fast;
Yet wilder beauty crowns the forest now
Than through the summer past.
A more respondent, blaze.
Ofrich and radiant bues,
Cleans through the autumn haze,
Than mid the summer dews.
So is it nature loves
In all her power to part );
So with her passing splendor nievcs
The severing human heart.
Calmly through pleasant years
We love some kindred mind;
But It's only through our parting tears
lis full delights we find.

In every act and tone,
Beam forth the tenderness and grace
That melt US, and are flown!

mongt those who will support the arbi-V
trary measures Of the President. All
single number Of the "PoLITfcIAN"|
placed in The hands of one who will
promise to read it, and then hand it ov.
er TO another, may be the means Of
opening the minds Of many to know
ledge Of the serious dangers which
threaten to crush, under the ruins Of the
constitution, the rights and liberties Of
the people.
The value and influence of such a
publication as the POLITICIAN, must
depend on the accuracy Of lis state
ments, and the candor and fairness of
the arguments that may be admitted
into its columns. Its object being the
dissemination Of truth, it can only be
obtained by securing the confidence of
its readers. The blunders and in,r.
CUES Of the present administration are
glazing enough; and those who believe
that the public mind requires only to
be properly enlightened to turn in dis.
gust from the melancholy spectacle Of
political corruption exhibited in almost
every department, Of the government,
will be content TO spread before the
people simple statement of the truth.
The PoL1TIcIAN will be published
every other week, and each number
will consist Of eight quarto pages of
close matter. 1t will furnish the most
important statistics connected with the
history Of the government-synopseS
Of public ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF the
principles and conduct of public men
and popular and argumeolative illus
trations of all matters connected with
The practical administration of the gov
eminent.
The design OF the present pnblica-
ton is to embody in the cheapest pos
Si5le form the greatest amount of useful
political information; and to do this ii
is indispensable that payments must in
all cases be made IN Advance. The
idea Of collecting a subscription of fiji.
ty cents, is preposterous and even
though fifty or hundred copies may
be ordered by single individual, the
subscription price is cot down so low
that ii cannot justify either the risk or
delay of trusting to future reimburse
ment. No paper will, under any cir.
cumstances, be sent, unless paid for in
advance.
The publication will be continued
until the 4th Of March, 1887, at which
time the administration of the federal
government will pass into other hands.
Communications must be addressed
"to the Editor Of the Politician. Rich
mond" .-and the postage must in all
cases be paid, or the letters will not be
taken from the Office.
Subscriptions will DE received for a.
ny length of time, and for any number
of copies. Gentlemen wanting large
number Of Peoples, at any time, can pro.
cure them upon remitting fifty cents for
every twenty six copies-the number
that would regularly appear in the
course Of The year.
