THE fact has been made public through
the prints, that the Rev. G. ". Honey.
was seized by band Of men at Bolton the
other day. and subjected to decidedly rough
treatment. We regret to record this fact.
Lawlessness is just now being carried d.
eidedly to an extreme. The matter was
yesterday represented to the Governor who
expresses a desire to have the outrage in.
vestigated.
Mr.. Honey is here, and has kept the mat.
ter to himself. We hope he does not con-
ceive that he is in danger from making an
exposure Of the manner in which be was
treated. Ee is in community which We
would be ashamed to say does not frown

By The kininess Of ladF friend We are
permitted to use the subjoined extract from
letter received by her from Lamar, Aran-
sas county, dated June 20, 1874:
oThis country is in dreadful state Of
excitement at present. The Mexicans bru-
tally murdered man and his vito last week,
about twenty miles from here, and the
whole country is in arms about It. There
have been several Mexicans hung aud come
shot since then, and there ID great excite
ment existing, both among the wlito poo
pie and the Mexicans. There d trouble
ahead, am afraid, as the 1Ieucan1 clear to
the Rio Grande swear vengeance against
the whites. The white men are aIFaid q
leave their families for minute. Tor fear
they will be murdered. Several families
came to Lamar yesterday for protection,
and don't know but what we may all have
to leave here, though at present this s.
thought to be safe place, as there gro no
Mexicans here and none nearer than liiean
miles. KATE

Too Dignifled for a Fire.

The Washington Capitol relates the
following laughable anecdote of the Hon.
VIM. Dennison:
He used to afford us much amusement
in Ohio by his intense dignity and free
use of dictionary words. We suppose he
has toned down the dignity and mellowed
the hard words, for all who have business
with him seem pleased.
We used to say of him that his head
was so far up in the clouds that he could
not see familiar fact or realize a situa-
ton. In illustration of this, the story is
told that on the night the Neil House,
at Columbus, was burned, Gov. Dennison,
not believing the hotel to be on fire,
mounted upon the balcony to address the
crowd. 1t was an immense concourse,
for the alarm was given at very cOnve-
nient hour, Immediately after supper,
and it was too tempting for William to
resist, so he sang out in that clear, clarion
voice of his:
"My fellow-citizens, the confagration
is not here; it is elsewhere. But it has
been suggested to me by friends that, in
view of your promiscuous, unexpected,
and, may say, startling assemblage on
this occasion, it would be well, while the
conhagration, wherever it may develop
its lurid torch, is manifesting itself, to
discuss a few of the momentous issues
now dividing the people of this ensan-
guined land"
Before William could reach the said
issues, the fire scorched his coat-tails ana
he was knocked over by trunk.
