We learn that for some time past mar.
ried man named D. W. Myers and young
man named John Smith, have been keeping
company with two fast young ladies in
Hampton, and carried the thing so far as
10 walk out together every evening during
the last week. On Saturday Myers wife
left him with two little children and went to
Davenport. The people of the town, about
fifty in number, met last night and resolved
to rid the place of the rascAls and clean
them oat. About nine dozen rotten eggs
was procured and two fence rails, and the
crowd went to the house and found the four
together. They took the two men out and
fastened them on the rails and marched
them all over town, pslting them with the
rotten eggs. At last they let them down
with the understanding they would leave
town forthwith.
This summary manner of dispensing JUS
tice may not have been eggsactly correct,
but it was eggs Actly and rsil-ly what was
needed. Heneeforth Hampton will :be free
from offences of like character, for the cIti-
zens have vindicated their wounded honor,
and have shown to outsiders eggsactly how
they do it. Myers and Smith, the last name
is mythical, propsbly may have rallied q
little at their prosecutors, but they took q
clear and unprecedented view of affairs and
left town.

wright as a song and dance man cannot be

by a minstrel troupe. The play originated
in 1867 in San Francisco, where it had q
run of 240 nights. 1t has been running fol
the past two months in all the leading
cities of the East, and is alone worth the
price of admission. Go early tonight, and
secure good seats.
