doubtless partake of the indignation tina
now reigns solely in this village, upoI
their learning the details of most fiend
ish, v~illanous and tragic act, which trans
pired in our usually quiet hamlet.
On Wednesday last, one Of our old anC
formerly much respected citizens, VIM
Brisbine, was married to Mrs. DIR. Ca,
lista Lyons (ReeLucasl, who had previ'
ously made the residence of her now
liege lord the home of herself and head
quarters of spiritualistic prescriptions
and electrical h~umbuggery. combined
with psychomancy, soul-charming, etc.
ofcourse, the youthfnlness of the groom
C6s years. and the notoriety of the bride
called together the gay and festive boys,
for the purpose of ushering in their well
wishes to b now happy couple.
During the day Thursday the mar
shaling of the musical elements general
" used upon such occasions was attend
ed to. and the night brought forth the
crowd Of boys in full force for the grand
overture. After a short, grand flourish,
there came a silence both dreadful and
profound" The door opened and the
bride appeared a council was called, a
parley ensued, and conditions settled
The boys were called up, and a five dol
lar note rendered but n of the boys
knowing her, became suspicious, and
asked her if she intended m harm?
Upon being assured by her that she did
not intend them any harm, they adj
vanced toward her. When within a lew
feet of the door, she threw upor them,
and in their faces and eyes, sHlphurie
acid, burning the skin and clothing of all
that came i'm cOniAct with it. There are
3 number whose clothes were burned in
holes; but three, ]. j. Burke, David
Benjamin and Frank Collar, are danger
ously injured. Benjamin has, lost one
eve, aud Burke will probably lose both
of his. beside being badly burned on the
face and neck. Collar was burned in
the face, but is not SD dangerously,
although seriously, injured.
Upon the learning of the facts, the
frenzy of the pOpulAce was extreme, and
the younger portion OF the community
were for the Immediate administration
Of retaliation.
Wiser counsel of our sage fathers,
however, prevailed, and the majesty
of the Law was ~vindicated. But in
this township the scales of justice are
held by the brawny arm of Esq King,
who, upon being applied TO, thought
the latenesS of the hour sufficient
excuse for doing nothing, until con-
WINGED that ii was his imperative duty
To start the wheels of law.
A warrant was finally issued, and
with it bond for the woman's ap-
pearauce before this court " on the
following morning, when appearance
was made and recognized to appear
at court under bonds OF $1,000.
Immediately after another warrant
was applied for upon another affida-
Wit, but this effeminate justice exer-
his prerOgative and refused
Esq. Hamilton, of Brookfield, seat
one of his stirring documents down,
an invitation Ito come anu see
him" which was urgently accepted
and there was placed under bond of
81 900.
Deep sympathy is universally felt
or the sufferers. The people are fully
aroused and determined that the
majesty OF the law shall be thorough
y upheld. and the severityo of its JUS
ice be fully felt.
The mills OF the gods grind slowly,
But grind exceedingly nne."
Yet we intend TO watch this grist.
