Two men, Thomas and Davis, wood-choppers,

knock at the door. Thomas lighted candle
and asked who was there. A voice answered !:
"Let US in We want something to eat." )"
Thomas opened the door, when two masked
men strobe in. One of the men put the muz-
zle of six shooter close to Thomas head,
and commanded him to keep silent. The
other man picked up a hatch 1t, and, advan-

was marched from the cabin an; made to stand
for an hour in his night clothes, with his pis,

brush and clothes upon the corpse and burned

clue to them or to their object, for Davis was
an old and highly esteemed citizen of Port

taxes, gives notice that his books will be
closed on the 4th of April. Up to this date
be has received $4,94S0 90, which was paid in

payers would respond, the showing would be
much better. But few more days now remain
for the reception of the contributions, and we
would urge upon all who have not done so, to
make their payments at once. The people
who supported Hampton at the ballot-box,
should support him at the tax-box.
