Daring and DisgraceIut Outrage.
--On the evening of the 4th instant,
Mr.. N. Thompson was escorting some
ladies' to their homes, one upon his
arm, and his wife and another lady fol-
lowing close behind. They had been
spending the evening at the house of
Mr.. Thompson, and proceeded as far
as the Washington Hotel, when they
were overtaken by wagon load of
drunken men coming up from the foot
Of the village.
When directly opposite, the wagon
halted in the middle of the street, and
two of the men jumped out and came
upon the side walk and rudely caught
hold Of and brutality insulted one OF
the ladies. Mr.. Thompson instantly
caught one OF them by the throat and
held him pretty tight, and called loud
ly for assistance. The ladies scream
ed, and as soon as they could free
themselves from the rude grasp of the
villain fled into the hotel.
Mr.. Thompson held his antagonist
tightly by the throat, till The villain
was joined by the rest Of his comrades
from the wagon, to the number Of
seven or eight, who had armed them
selves with clubs and brickbats. A
bout the same time several OF our citi-
gems came to the assistance of Mr.. i.
and a general melee ensued, in which
the rowdies would have been over
powered, had il not been for the dead
iy weapons with which they continu-
ed the assault.
In the al1ray, Mr.. Thompson was
knocked down twice with tremendous
blows from scythc snath on the
head, and also very severe blow
across the back of the neck. Mr..
George b. Kinney, the keeper of the
hotel, and James Lyman, were violent
ly assaulted and beaten with the same
kind Of weapon; w. Moshier was
struck on the face with huge stone,
damaging his eyes, nose, and smashing
his face in most shocking manner;
Mr.. S. s. Chapman was cut across the
head with scythe; and several others
Of our citizens were knocked down,
in endeavoring to secure the villains.
Three of the fellows were arrested
upon the spot and are confined in the
Jail. Officers were in pursuit of the
rest.-Penn Yam Democrat.

dence of the public and liberal share of patron
age. lie has devoted much Of his time to the
diseases OF women and children, and TO diseases
OF q delicate character. Believing that calomel
has been used in diseases OF the west TO excess,
and from long profession, practice and expert
ence, IN the east and west, assures him TO say,
that diseases of this country can be treated sue
cessiuly with a less quantity of calomel than is

n Fact.-The Richmond Enquirer
acknowledges that the infusion of a
little Yankee industry and capital into
the arteries Of Virginia will produced a
beneficial effect. How will some of
the sturdy old planters receive that
candid admission. IN. Y. News.
We should suppose they would re-
ceiye it well. Many of the old farms
in Tuckahoe Virginia, worn out by
slave labor, and rendered useless ex-
cept for growing dwarf pine; have
been purchased by New Workers and
Yankees and worked with northern in
dustry, and are now the most produc-
tive in eastern Virginia. The fact is
said to have been the most convincing
ever offered against slavery.
