RowDYIsM.-In Northfield last Friday

RowDYIsM.-In Northfeld last Friday |
night, the residences OIL w. Avery, depu- |
ty sheriff. and Morrill, Gilman. town grand
jur IL, in Mortified were visited by some
rascals who had in them a fully developed
spirit of lawlessness. With them they had
supply of kerosene and lamp-black and
with Il mixture of this they completely
covered the front of Mr. Gilman's house,
daubing doors and blinds with the rest. On
Mr.. Gilman's door they posted the follow
ing notification:
Ar Gilman->iK:-It will cost you quite u sum
t. paint your house. Ii we hear any more from
VIG.LANCn COMMITTEE.
Mr. Avery's house was evidently visited
after their raid at Mr. Gilman's, for here
afEer smearing the house somewhat their
stock oflamp-black and oil gave out though
they evidently had plenty of malignity yet
in store. They also left a notice for Mr.
| AFer,.
Jhr. Arery SIR:-If we had more paint we would
! do more Tor !ou but we used most OF 1t on ola
| I'll lmln's.
Sych performances rs these are the leSl-
mate results of a teaching which makes
all law obnoxious by studied contempt
of that which happens to disagree with pre-
conceived notions but which nevertheless
st ands as the expressed will of the people
1t looks to us as though such arguments
asr this of the oil and lamp-black are few
81, &c
punishment in store for the perpetrators if
found that will teach them wholesome
lesson for the future.
