improper proposals. The letter fell into the
hands OF the father, who kept the appointment
In place Of his daughter. Going to Howe's
room at the Beaumont House, and locking the
door behind him 80 that there should be no es-

dous thrashing. Howe first drew q pistol, but
this the angry father seized and threw away.
He then jumped on the wretch and pounded
him, threw him down, knocked. kicked and
flung him around in the most terrible manner

doubtful If he could recover. He is, however
