Editors Intelligeneer:
Ia there no law to protect the peaceful
citizen from the prosecutions Of those
bowling mobs who term themselves ser.
enading parties, and under the W. Of
darkness steal forth to destroy the peace
Of their felloWman, and render his life a
curse and his sleep a hideous nightmare ?
We are led to this inquiry by the dem.
onstrations OF a band OF these unieeling
wretches near the bridge corner, between
the hours Of two and three o'clock Wed.
nesday morning. Armed with a base
viol, every rasp Of which sounded like
the wall OF a lost soul, an old wheezy
fiddle which harmoniEed we'll with the
vocal efforts Of one Of the mob who had
Il voice like a cross cut saw, they took
peaceful possession Of this part Of the
city, and for more than one hour did
these arch fiends render the night hide
ons BY their abominable bowling and
squeaking, while the unfortunate beings
for squares around had 10 submit 10 this
villainous persecution without having

would like to know il the police have
not the power 10 suppress these disturb
ances? II such riOtous and disorderly
scenes are TO be permitted, u city will
soon become q bowling wilderness, while
no citizen will feel safe at night unless he
has a gatliug gun securely anchored in
his sleeping apartments.
Deploring any such revolutionary move
menls as this, we trust u friends with
the sadly perverted musical talent, will
restrain Themselves in the future. By do.
ing so they will not only confer a favor
on many OF the late unfortunates but
will thereby avoid rendering themselves
an intolerable nuisance to society in gen
eral. One OF THE VICTIMS.

BRLIAIRE LocALs.-Yesterday morn
ing at an early hour the streets com.
menced filling with people anxious TO
witness the interesting programme which
had been laid out for a proper observance
Of the day. A light rain commenced
falling about hllf.paSt seven o'clock, but
1t was thought It would aoon clear up,
and the preparations went on. But very
few people assembled at the City Hall 10
march TO the cemetery. What few there
were however, started at the hour pre-
Scribed in the programme, and after
getting part oil the way up town, their
number was augmented by 4 goodly
crowd Of school children who had gath
cred at the Fourth Ward school house.
The Benwood band, which had been en-
ployed by the Gre department, arrived
and proceeded through the streets,
trying TO infuse enthusiasm into the
crowd on the streets, who by this
time began to think that the rain
would yet do q great deal TO mar the
pleasures Of the day. Col. Baron and his
staff were out early in the morning TO
look after the military operations. The
Bonneville and 81. Clairsville compa-
nies arrived about 9 o'clock, and were
met by Company D and escorted to
the q Up. depot TO await the arrival Of
the Cadiz and Steubenyilie companies.
By this time the rain commenced in
earnest and 1t wa decided..to hunt dry
quarters. Some Of the troops were sta.
TONED At City Hall, some at the armory,
and others at various places IN
the city until about II o'clock
when they proceeded 10 spite Of the
weather 10 review. After the address BY
Col. Poorman, the troops passed In re-
view, and presented quite q wilted APP
p~earance. II may be that the rain had
something 10 do with Il, but Il does seem

with DIR. HasbrOok. Mf. Conner said
~ was away in the afternoon, and af.
ter coming home went to- the picnic
to meet Mrs. Conner andtlae children
| We came home just after 10 o'clock.
| When / unlocked tile fnOn6 door IL felt
something pushing against it, and
when / forced il open j saw the nakei
body of a woman lying there, with
| the lamp shining full upon it.
| thought il was n corpse. j ran across
the, street to get the neighbors out,
and while | was gone Mrs. Conner
thought she heard some one getting
out of back window. But We heard
the girl moan while we were, at the
door. She qay on slier back and her
feet were raised up and braced against
the doOr.oI took off the towels and
the sponge, threw my wife's shawl
over the young lady, and carried lIer
into our paIlOr.'
ado you know that the girls had any
enemies about here who might haH .
committed such an indignity to humil1
late the young ladv?' --r,5rfsr-.
81 "NOt that / Know of, although
there was some jealousy on the part
of some of the young people here.
Miss Heuser is very lady-lfke in her
behavior so far as | hive ever been
able to Judge. She is modest girl,
and too proud to assOciateiwith every
body. The young people about here
are in the habit of indulging in what.
are called kissing games,i and Miss
Heuser, although she never held
aloof from the rest of the company,
showed that she didn't care to go so
far as some, others went, remem-
bered that at little party at my
mothers house last winter the young
people were playing a forfeit game,
and when a young men went to,
claim'his forfeit from her she held out
her hand, saying she would not allow
the man to kiss her face This seemed
to put some Ofthe young pc ople against
her, and although it was never said to-
her face, l have heard people say
that she was to proud and stirIsh."
Mrs. Connor also said: ''rhe first
words Miss Heuser said VIXEN she was
coming to were, don't touch me, don't
touch me- l thought the girl was
dying, and / kept asking her whether
she knew me. It asked her ever
so many times to tell me her name,
thinking she would tell me
that if she had her reason. After a
while she looked at me and smiled,
and then | saw that she WAS conscious.
Sle also said: kill me, but don't dis
grace me- Then she turned over,
with her face too the wall, and began
to cry"
DIR. Hasbrook said he didn't know
where the sponge could have come
from, and thought it must have been
procured by the perpetrators before
hand. No strange bottle was found
on the premises;..but a'glass stopper was |
picked up by Mr.. ParrOtt near the
gate.
The united opinion of DIR. and Mrs. |
Hasbrook and Mr.. and Mra. Conner is |
that the perpetrators of the outrage |
had for their object simply to 'humili-
ate the girl by causing her too be |
found in an exposed condition, and
that they left her lying i'm front of the
hall door in order that the first person
to enter would be sure to discover her |
and raise such an alarm as would |
bring a crowd of people to the house.
AS for the rest of the citizens, there |
are almOt "a many opinions as there
are names of Ofinhaitants.
