which turns out to be fictitious; and we give below
Card from DR.. j. S. Leach, in which he denounces
the william who .perpetrated the hoax. We regret
very much that our columns should have been the
medium, though of course unintentional on our part
of deception SO mean and despcabe in its charac-
ter; and We can only add that if the real name of
the creature who perpetrated this deception be
ascertained, will do part in fixing it on the
pillar of public nfamy. The manuscript containing
this notice not preserved and do not even re-
member the name which accompanied the fictitious
notice. Dr. Leech's Card is as follows:
MEssRs. EDIroRs find in your paper Of the 4th
inst, notice of the marriage of DR.. Jno s. Leach,
of Johnston county. If the author of tina; commu.
nication had affixed to it his proper signature, he
would have spared me the trouble of contradcting
the report. For his name, doubt, is sufficient
evidence Of his rascality, and by being affixed to
that any other communication would be sufficient
evidence of its fasity and forgery. If it be possible
to obtain his name | request you to put it n your
next ISSUE that the finger of scorn may be pointed
at the malicious and contemplate puppy. A man
guilty of the above would not blush to perpetrate
the darkest crime, provided it could be concealed
as his name has been in the present case. l am
not aware that he has been convicted of the crime
OF robbing his neighbours hen roost, unbuckng
the collar of his neighbours sheep under the curtain
Of night but from his rascalty in the present case
doubt not but he is a fit subject for the pillory
if not the halter. .-...
Yours, &c,
