We learn from the Bangor Wing that a
place called Hogtown, about four miles from
the city, for long time has borne an unenvia-
Bile reputation for disorder and lawlessness,
and of late has been the scene of crimes of
more than ordinary magnitude. 1t was here
that the robbery of the pedlar occurred, which
was spoken of last week. On Thursday last
river driver named Cunningham, who had
been recently paid off, was got into the house
OF Mrs. Davis one OF several disrepntable
h )uses in that locality, and got intoxicated,
and was afterwards beset By man or men,
enough to accomplish their purpose, they beat
and stabbed him until they lett him for dead
In the road. He recovered sufficiently to crawl
to nelgnDorlng mouse, and DIR. Fisher, of OrO-
no, dressed his wounds and he was removed to
Upper Saltwater, where it is reported that he
died Sunday On Saturday evening the citi-
zens of Orono-indignant at the DISGRACE
which their town has suffered from this den of
corruption in their midst, and which had cul-
minated in this last affair-held a meeting at
which 1T was resolved to wipe out the concern
by fire, and two hundred persons signed pa
per, agreeing to hold themselves responsible in
any suit for damages which might grow out of
it. Believing if "twere done at all 'twere well
'twere done quickly" crowd of men number
ing one hundred and fifty-two, with a chosen
leader, started on the same evening to carry
their resolutions into effect. Arriving there
about IL O'Clock, they visited the house of Mrs.
Davis, and calling her up gave her five min
utes in which to remove her goods, if she had
any she wished to save, at the expiration of
which time they set fire to the house, burning
it to the ground, leaving not stick unconsum-
ed. Only black spot of ground shows where
it stood, Then they went to another house
and notified the proprietor that he could have
until Tuesday next in which to clear out his
hAS.i 'i'Sy Wouiu w
1t for him, as they had already done for his
nelghoor. The reputed murderer of Cum
