other wounded, simply because the
gentlemen did not halt promptly when
told to do so by some one in the dark.
They must have had the intention to
kill the gentlemen, otherwise t hey
would not have aimed so well as to
kill the horses. We cannot imagine
how much longer the y. S. asthori-

Radical party generally looks on all
these things with the utmost oompla'
cency and inward delight, heartily
enjoying the distress, woe and grief
caused by such acts Of barbarisu, and
