EXCITEMENT AT DENTON, MD.-ANorHER woLr
m SHkEP's CLorHiNG.-The quiet citizens Of Den
Caroline hava Wit faxU Iovc
been in state Of no Ii tie excitement. Il appears
from the Denton Journal that in March last young
EDglishman twenty ve or thirty years Of age, made
his appearance there and through letters Of recon-
mendstion purpo, ting to be from Abel stevens, Of
New York, editor Of the National Mdgasine, and
from John Giles, Principal Of Bergen Academy.
N. j., be pro, ured the situation Of teacher In the
male school in that village subsequently he inform
ed the members Of the Methodist Episcopal church
that he was O regular licensed preacher, and pre-
sented license dated ut Richmond, Va, signed by
the Rev. Thoe. @. Hayes. He was thereupon in
ved to preach and by his eoquence attracted large
crowds. A vacancy occurring, be was appointed
to I'LL the place Of "youhg preacher" when he
procured q handsome sulkey and $l65 horse, and
soon be came favorite with the ladies. All went
on well, until 1t turned ont that he was engaged
to be married to two respectable girls. One Of
them, however, unfortunately for him, wrote to
Mr.. Stevens, to ascertain something about him,
and ree eved for answer that he knew no such per-
son as John Howard, the name under which Il is
alleged he had passed himself off. When this letter
reached Denton, the Journal says he attempted to
elope with the other girl to whom he was engaged
but fortunately her friends saved her from his grasp.
The gentleman who sold him the horse not having
been paid, Il en- pursued him and found him mile
from Denton with the horse, which he gave up,
hitched in the woods. In day or two he started
for Baltimore, and returned in about week, but
being threatened with lynch law by the citizens,
again left for this city. On Wednesday last, how.
ever, he vert down again, and stopped at the
house Of gentleman seven miles from Denton,
where he was arrested the same night by the sheriff
and posse and committed to jail In default Of bail
for his appearance at the next term Of the Caroline
county circuit courts The yourna! states that let
tiers have been obtained within few days, showing
that he s the same person who figured last year at
South GIoton, Mass, under the name Of James
Cooper, or Cowper,, where he married Miss
Rockland Lake, Mass, and in January last came
near securing the charge Of the Clay street chapel
at Richmt nd, Va. The facts were published In the
Sun at the time Of the fare up af Richmond, to-
gether with certain charges preferred against hi n
In relation to the death bf his wife, in England.
