A HUMOROUS DARKEY.-Last Sunday
a negro named John HUT wac lodged 10
Jail at this place, for attempting to set
fire to Mr.. Jas. Owens house, about Eve
miles from Troy. He had grudge
against Mr.. Crouch, who was living IN q
part Of the house, and in his absence
put Goals of FIRE in one Of tho beds,
which was entirely consumed, but Mr..
Owen, who lived in another part Of the
house, discovered the fro and succeeded
in subduing the flames and saving bis
dwelling. John is q humorous darkey,
and says be only did it "for fun"
Prompted by the same fun loving dispo-
sition, be on former occasion beat one
Of Mr.. Ovens best milch cows to death,
having at the timo q spite against him.
And We understand that about two years
ago this spirit Of "fuu" 80 possessed him
and made him SO hilarious, that he cut too
fingers off of one of the hands of q little
child Of Mr.. Armstrong Kennedy, to
wreak his vengeance on the father Of the
child. Really he is . very humorous
individual, and ought to be placed under
treatment in the state prison. Perhaps
his hilarious spirits might there be
