From the Huntington vindicntor.

IEHn Tue
We don't think there has been a
tramp in town since the immortal
Hand left-two weeks ago.
JAS Lipe, saloon>keeper at Hol>
low Rock, shot a man named GroOmes
in that town on last Saturday night.
We have tried hard to get the real
truth of the matter, but there are so
many contradictory rumors aflOat as
to render such a thing impossible.
Last Sunday morning some one
stabbed a horse belonging to Mr. John
Il. Simpson, of this place, making a
wound about four inches deep and
three long. No reason can be assign
ed for the act. On Monday morning
a fine mare. the property of Mr. Cole
man, living five miles west Of here,
was found in her stable with terri
ale cash across her belly and with
part of her bowels ont on the ground.
This was as much of a mystery as the
first. We further learn that on the
same morning one of Mr. Henry Clay's
tenants, who lives near McLemores-
vile, while on his way to work, dis
covered fine mule lying dead, with
Its th oat cut. This was the proper
| ty of Mr. OF Williamson.
