About three o'clock this afternoon q
couple of young bloods. crazy from the
effects of bad whiskey, started east
from the Center in a buoy, the horse
galloping at full speed. They still kept
putting the whip to him and yelling at
the top OF their voices. They got
about one-fonrth oi Il mile at that rate
when they overlook DR.. Ferguson, and
run into him. His buoy was badly
broken and himself thrown violently
10 the ground. However, old Doct.

his horse and in appearant serenity
smoked his meerchaum through the

be hurt. The young men who caused
the smash-up above alluded to, are
"generally speaking" good, and res

expected when the brain is maddened
with intoxicating drink. We have no
objection to man buying drink, nor
to men selling a drink. We are not

lately than we like to see, and we take
this opportunity to notify the parties
responsible for the grOacing erH that if
it is not stopped, the good citizens of
this place will take it in hand. We
are sorry to hear it whispered that
there was a report made at the last

attended to. We are somewhat jcal-

Tuesday morning. The villains had
succeeded in cutting out two lights of

a back window, when they were dis

Mr.. FIath coming down stairs and
they jumped from the platform. After
a while all was still again and they
returned to their work. when young
Flath discharged a shot at them from
