they did with iona than Gregson on last
Wednesday night, as he was coming from

upon him and held his arms, one
putting his hand over Mr.. Gregson'a
mouth. Mr.. Gregson struggled with
them, and supposing they we're oaly at
tempting to frighten him, said ooh quit
that fooling," and never once suspected
anything wrong, until, on hearing some
one coming, one of them said to his com
rade, "Be quick" when they began feel
ing tor his pockets. His struggles and
the approach of neighbor caused them
to flee. Mr.. Gregson had fortunately lef,
his watch for repairs and had but $40 on
his person, so that had they succeeded in
robbing him they had not got much. Mr..
Gregson surely is not easily frightened.

quent it. Some of those who are roped
in and done for at its board, are men OF
reputation and good fame in our midst.
We do not desire to disgrace them by
giving their names. But the parent, the
keeper of the place, and the one who
aunts them and keeps them at it and
furnishes the temptation, and who is the
cause of al the trouble, deserves no such
consideration at our hands. And we
write this short preparatory lecture as a
warning to those who do not deserve pub

stand from under, for if they keep still
they won't get hurt. We know whereof
we affirm, and we expect to be compel
led to give this establishment blast, and
as there is no honor in its keeper, he may
unless forewarned, draw others into his
disgrace. If we do speak of this, and are
put to any trouble about it, we shall of
course, expect to put upon the stand,
those who know all about it, and then
they will help US out, or comnit-well, il
we were charging grand jury, we should
call it perjury. So for your sakes and
our sakes, we advise every one to keep
still until he gets hurt. Th"se who are

this present kind attention. For the
opinion of those who are not ashamed
we care not. For the feelings of one de
