tW-T The Boscobel Dial gives an account
of knock down which occurred on the
road between that place and Highland,
Tuesday morning of last week. The pro.
prietor of Chapin's circus had engaged
the services of JAS. McCord to pilot them
over the road. He missed it, taking them
some five miles out ofthc way. The "hoss.
canvassman" had some words with McCord
which terminated in blows. The canvass.
man struck McCord, knocking him down
and brutally kicking him causing . rup-
ture. The convassman came to Boscobel
but went away fearing arrest.

faith in the sincerity of those newspapers
that make professions of being in favor
