MI. johnson, OF tnls city, lS anxlously IN
quiring as to the whereabouts of an agent by
the name of Dodge who travelled for the
firm of McCarty q Donnelly, selling book
called sour Country" Mr.. Johnson re-
ceived the numbers of the book, and at the
request of Dodge gave them to him to have
| them bound, accepting Dodge's receipt.
This was Septemb r 90, 1879, since when
| no word has been received from Mr.. Dodge.
The impression is that Dodge came the
dodge over Mr.. johnson in good shape, and
perhaps others have had a like experience. 1t
would be we'll for the firm of McCarty g.
Donnelly to look into the matter.
w. j. Leslie. a lawyer Of this city, and q
Sunday school teacher, has been in the habit
for some time past of inhumanly whipping
his step son, a boy aged about 10 years. The
boy was compelled to live in the woods to
escape from his unmerited punishment.
On Friday he whipped the boy SO severely
that the nsighbors interfered, and Mr.. Cover
took the boy to his house. We are inform
ed that Mr.. Leslie made the remark that if
he could get hold of the boy again, inter-
ference from the neighbors would be un-
necessary. The boy bears the marks of his
cruel punishment. If the facts are as stated,
and we believe that they are, the law should
deal with Mr.. Leslie as he richly deserves. :,
