JOHN alias JACK RIGnT-This fellow, ai'ei
lurking about our village for several weeks, leH
on Tuesday evening, taking with him inc u"io'-
lunale and degraded victim oil his seduction.
Hc came from Knoxville, Tennessee, where
he has a Young wife now living and suffering
the unspeakable pangs of his reinorseless anu III
human conduct. He spent the summer al .he
Grayson Sulphur Springs Il Is understood ,;a '''a'
he is professional gambler and blackieg.
The poor and infatuated young girl, whom
this destroyer mas thus made The dupe oil his MI
SCRABBLE brides, and articles, and lailhless prom-
ses, is Margaret f. Curry, The daughter OF nos;
Gary. of this village, ard about ID or 10 years oil
age. We have understood they are making their
way towards Lyncbburg or Richmond and VIII
probably change their course aud pass ihrough
Franklin county and The State Of North Caroli-
ma 10 the South They represent they were mar
rird in This place statement which Is utterly
false They are travelling in 4 two horse ba-
rouche, with cover 10 il, driven by likely mu-
lalto man.
Thus whilst this unprinciped, unleeling and
depraved wretch is decorating the heart oil an m
nocent and confiding wife, and robinS her nome,
which he had pledged himself on The marriage al
tar 10 render vrluous and happy, in wiclchednes>,
sorrow and disgrace, he is conducting young,
credulous and unconscious girl from her patents
roof 10 lnger out a living death in The charnel
houses OF prosluiion!
Thus has he invaded with pestilcnce The Co
nestle hearth and torn from her sacred domic'l
the iavorile daughter of deiencclcss and dlscon-
suac mother By this otrocly, he mas filled her
house with desolaton, and stamped everlasting
inamy on her family, by the ncilablc ruin oil her
daughter We know Of no character 50 vile, SO
dcrslable He is the riest of robbers, Tor he
plumbers happiness; The worst OF murderers, Tor he
murders innocence; his appelies are OF The brute,
his ans OF the demon; The heart OIL The child, and
the curse Of the ,arcnt are The foundations, OF the
altar which he rears 10 lust whose fires are The
fires OF hell, and whose incense is the agony oil
virtue
We have made Ibis painful exposure, from
sense Of dnly moi only TO the public press but 10
The community, whose virtuous sentiments have
been outraged by the commission Of The crime.
The citizens had no know ledge of il until il had
lranspireI. But they do not intend that such nla
nous conduct shall escape their severesl censuIe,
and they desire that the perpelraor .hal be held
up 10 the public gaze, i'll The lulid glare OF his de-
lestable vice
Let This be warning 10 all not TO admit into
their society," or 10 countenance stroling vasa-
bend who exhibits no passport except that Of
professional blackleg and debauchee
We wish The papers Of Lynchbufg, Richmond,
Danvic, and everywhere else in Virginia, y.
Carolina and Tennessee, 10 insert this notice IN
their columns.
