here and looked round the house; the woman
fastened the door, and two men came up, but

thought there was but one man; we were
going out, and l said to the old man, placing
my hand on his shoulder, "Neighbor, 1
wouldn't go into house where | wasn't
wanted, if were you" then the young man
jumped from behind and stuck me- he then
stuck Long, after cutting me; he then ran
little more than halfway down the stairs,
and came up again as fast as he could and
whacked it into me the second time. The

"Neighhor, ! would not 60 into a house
where ! wasn't wanted !" but after that
was stuck and struck then struck the old

the proceedings were such as were calculated
to convey high opinion of their character
and culture. After the substantials had been
disposed of, the following toasts were read
and responded TO by speeches, many of which
were characterized by more than ordinary
