BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A PHYSICIAN

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A PHYSICIAN.
Friday night last. at II o'clock, Il
young man called at the residence OF
DR.. John Branch. Il physician residing
mile north of st. Adams. and told
him Mrs. Tullar WIS sick and wanted
him to visit her Immediately. The
doctor went to the barn. >addled his
horse and was coming out of the door.
when he WAS struck Il crushing blow on
the head with club. The blow WAS
repeated twice. cutting his head badly
and bruiSing the right shoulder and
side. Both robbery and revenge are.

i'll Il critical condition. \ reward of one
thousand dollars is offered for the AZ
rest of the assailant.

low his ear and came out two or three
inches from the place it entered. The
motive is yet unknown. but it is gener-
ally supposed it WIS robbery. as Viii
moth had sold some cattle that day and
had the money on his person at the
time. Wilmoth was not so seriously
injured as to deprive him of the use of
his limbs. which he made use of and
reached his home. short dis: ance from
the barn. DR.. F. Whitman was called
and dressed the wound and does not
regard it dangerous. although very
slight variation of the ball would have
proved fatal.
LATEk.-The condition of DR.. Branch
is quite favorable. No fever has re-
suited. and if he remains quiet he suf
fers little or no pain. He cannot move
his right arm, however. without its
causing severe pain in his chest and

is now out of danger. but it will probably
take him long time to recover from

While W are not among those who

Mistaken Clemency.

The clemency of our Governor some
months ago. toward one Parker, who
was confined in the State Prison, under
sentence for burglary, was exceedingly
unfortunate for all concerned. For his
wife, through whose agency, chiefly, it
was obtained, it was misfortune, for
it brought to her an exhibition of in
gratitude. and course of conduct that
has led her to petition for divorce.
For the people it was unfortunate, for
il let loose. before the time, an offender
that had served one or two terms i'll
other prisons. without sufficient reasons
for pardon. But. worst of all, perhaps,
it was fearfully unfortunate for himself,
since he is now in Western State
Prison. under Il life sentence for killing
a man. If he had served his time, he
might now have been Il free man, with
some prospect of usefulness and hap
pincsS. Clemency, in the right cases.
and at the proper time, is undoubtedly
cXpcdicnt and beneficial, but otherwise.
il is both Il misfortune and an evil.
The exercise of it is one of the graveSt
duties of the Executive. and from errors
in it, no State in the Union is probably
more free than Ncrmont.-Tt Chroni-

A MAYNARD LASS
A White Girl of Clinton County,

pany with Young NegrOs
They Take a Room at CO1ored
Hotel, and are Arrested Af-
ter Midnight.
From the Union and ,r,a.i.o..s =

From the Union and American.
The chief of police of this city re.
ceived telegram yesterday after.
noon from Wilmington, Clinton Couns
| ty, Ohio, stating that a liberal re-
ward would be paid for the arrest of
negro boy about eighteen years of
age, and white girl two or three
years his junior, who had left that
place in comip&ny last Monday.
Officers Foley, Pitts and Bolton set
about TO work up the case, and at
II: 30 this morning arrested the
pair at the Harding House. a negro
hotel5 on Cherry street, where they
had engaged q room and stopped
for the night. ..t.'
Upon being brought to the station
house, both the prisoners manifested
considerable uneasiness, and the
young lady at first shed tears, but
afterwards became more calm. Her
name is Hattie Budduck, and she is
apparently about sixteen years old.
She seems to- have been reared in re-
spectabls society, has a pleasant
countenance and converses intelli.
gently. She was neatly attired in
black silk dress, striped shawl and
set of furss She says her father is a
farmer, living near the town men
toned above, and in easy Circumstan-
ces. She met the negro at the house
of schoOl-mate, aud they started
for his home in Blount county, Tenn.
She left her parents with the inten-
ti0n Of marrying him, and says she
loves him as we'll as she could love
any man.
The negro, whose name is James
Bowerman, had lived with her father
for three years, and the family all
thought a great deal of him. She
sometimes thought she had done
wrong, and then again she would
come to the conclusion that she did
not care. She had been induced to
leave home on account Of treatment
received at the hands of her mother.
Her sisters had told their mother
things about her that caused her 20
be harshly treated.
The negro is near twenty years of
age, stammers badly in converse
tiOn, and does not seem to be much
enamored of his fair companion,
stoutly denying having had any in
tention to marry her. He says he
had nothing to do with inducing her
to leave home that she left of her
own accord. The girl and her col
ored attendant brought large bas-
ket and valise with them, which
were deposited at the police head
quarters.
A dispatch was sent to the young
lady s father notifying him of the
arrest.
