The Calvert (Texas) Tribune says:


On Saturday night(last, old uncle" Ned
Butler, well-known colOred preacher, went
out into the country to marry q couple, but
came very near falling victim to the hate
of some cowardly scoundrels who live in
this county. He was interrupted during
the marriage ceremony by the entrance OF
a crowd Of rutfans (white), all OF whom
we're armed, who threatened, with many
oaths, to murder him. Uncle Ned is very
old, but the danger he was in made him do
some very active work. Slipping. out OF
door, he ran into the woods and secreted
himself, followed by the crowd Of villains,
more determined than ever to take his life.
They passed his hiding place, making the
most dire threats and swearing most fear
fully because of their fruitless chase. Uncle
Ned waited until after midnight, when he
returned home, very much scared by the re-
ception had while performing one OF the
Almighty's most sacred ordinances.
