Severe Dose Of s.IIen.Fruis." :"

Ii has been known to the people in this To-
cality for some time that certain character,
who is apparently able-bodied, has been i'm
posing himself against their will, upon y
mother and sister, who by their own ezer-
tions support themselves, and has been com
pellin. them to maintain him in idlentss.
Not only this. it is represented TO us that be
has added infsmy to disgrace by wantonl,
abus ng MS aged mother in the most out
rag ,ous manner, and has ill-treated and in
suited his sister, sntil they have been com
ipelled upon more than one occasion, some
call upon their neighbors for protection from
| his cruelty and abuse. Sometime since, upon
complaint to the township Trustees warrant
was issued for this party for his removal to
the Infirmary; he jumped the officers and did
not return until recently On Tuesday, some
thing occurred, of which we are not advised,
which caused some of the boys and young
men Of the place TO begin An onslaught upon
him, as he was passing along Main street near
Marietta, with potatoes which were gathered
from vessels 10 front of Shouse's grocery.
From this there appears to have grown an or:
ganized band of from twenty five 10 forty
young men and boys, whose mission it.wss to
punish the creature. Night came, and mean
men were victimized out of eggs ad infnitum,
and watch was placed over the movements
of migrate Thomas. AS soon as he showed
himself volley after volley of eggs was poured
in upon him, and he sought to escape throuy yh
flight into a house on Marietta street; thrust
out of there another shower came upon him,
and he hid again and again in house qfts
house, and as often was bespattered with eggs
until he had the appearance of prosecuted
Saint, aud finally fund haven in t ie hoi Q
he sought to distra' and des,late.
AS TO the boys and young men who took it
upon themselves to vindicate old age and
bring peace to disturbed family, we do not
suspect for moment that many of their feel
ings were lacerated by the stories of this
mans inhuman treatment of his mother and
9 ster, but that the lawless act of which they
were guilty, is little less than the outcropping
of a general spirit of mischief which is in the |
heart of the average St Clairsville youth. |
Talk about the abuse of APPARENT being against
the moral code of some of these youths! To |
mal-treat mother, father, sister or brother, or |
to insult a stranger, is the highest idea of !
some of these Young Americas. While the !
man who has been such a sore grievance to |
his highly respectable family, may have re- |
ceived little less than he deserved, yet these |
boys had no right to bring reproach upon the
good name and fame of this locality by in |
dnlging in pa-time which is relict of past |
age. We have law and law officers. and to
these should be submitted all grievances
which cannot be otherwise amicably adjusted. |
We regret exceedingly to have to chronicle |
this disgraceful affair, and we sympathize |
with the friends whose sensibilties are |
wounded. yet our duty as faithful recorder |
of events impels us to make this mention.
