1 MoSrrELrER TOO FAnous,-we copy the
following from the Boston Post Of Saturday
to CRAFTY the curiosity ofour readers, to warn
them against giyin adventurers too easy ac-

There has been no riotous mob in Montpelier,
though we fear, from what we have heard Of
the 3" Professors" conduct, there would have
been one had those most nearly concerned
appealed to the public in that way. The per-
sons Interested are quite willing to respond
to any suits the "Professor" may institute
in the civil or criminal courts, however it
may be asto counting suits. In fact, some of
them would like to institute a few suits them
selves, 1.-THE "Prof" has the means to re-

/ pears, has been teaching music in that city
for some time, was taken by mob from HE
lodging room and violently escorted to the
railway station aud ordered to leave the city
Immediately, upon penalty Of being shot il
he returned The pretence assigned for such
u dastardly outrage was to extort from him
the music leacher--a written contract of mar
rage made secretly, some time since, between
himself and wealthy young lady Of that
place, whose name we withhold for pruden-
ual reasons. Those who took part in this
/ high handed transaction had been bafled in
their efforts to get possession Of the docu-
ment for the purpose OF breaking up the in
tended union. Prof. Melchoir was not per-
mitted to remain in the place long enough to
collec, his dues. nor TO visit his intended
wife nor her parents. The marriage was to
have taken place the next day. The gentle
man who was thus unceGemoniously hustled
out Of town, had, it appears, succeeded in
wooing the heart and hand of respectable
young lady, one who had rejected the offers
Of number Of the gay lovers OF Montpelier;

ELS elandestinely agreed upon a plan to get
rid of the French man VINO had thus won the

is OF course exceedingly indignant at the
manner in which he has been treated, and
protests against such rough usage. Such
hagrant violation OF law should not be coun-
tenanced among those who pride themselves
upon being a law abiding people. and GER
tainly such high-handed proceedings should
not be winked at. The gentleman who was
SO unjustly dealt with will probably resort
to legal proceedings, and sooner or later as
CERTAIN whether he has any rights in Mont

spect. One Of the most prominent actors in
this outrageous proceeding was - cotton
speeniator. who. during the war, incurred the
displeAsure of Gen. Butler. We mention no
names in this matter, but quietly wait the re-
suit. 'a H VI Nrliri
