Not Of the Hurricane.


THE HERALD:-In your issue of July
10Th, your Potosi correspondent reports
the bad boys of the Hurricane pro-
vided themselves with peck of added
eggs, for the benefit of the Rev. Can
croft, who has been bcsmircking secret
societies. 1t is perhaps the correct
thing for your Potosi correspondent to
report Hurricane news We only ask
correct statement OF what transpires.
The fact is that an old man, whose
name was understood to be Bancroft,
delivered discourse here In the inter-
est of an association, styling themselves
the National Christian Association. and
directed against secret societies. Du-
ring the meeting, pack of hoodlums
sought to disturb the speaker by talking
and boisterous conduct, and by firing re-
volvcrs short distance from the church.
When remonstrance was made, they re-
tired a short distance, and there re-
manned till the meeting adjourned.
The only acts of bravery performed by
this valiant host, was to fire their pistols
and make the Sunday eve hideous with
their yclls, as they rode off to their
haunts. Those haunts, my dear HER
AID, are in your Potosi correspondents
own township, and by no means in the
Hurricane. Not a single Hurricane boy
was connected with the ? fair, and we
have vet TO learn of anyone who resides
! here that justifes them in their acts.
The only thing which the people of the
Hurricane are to blame for, is that they
have failed 10 prosecute the law-break-
crs to the full extent of the law.
Now, Mr.. Potosi correspondent,
please to look into the matter little
! further, find out where the boys do hail
from, and have it correctly stated in The
HERALD. II this thing of extending the
bounds of the Hurricane keeps on, your
village will yet be reported as a Hurri-
caie suburb. 1t is probable that The
bad boys" of another locality men,
toned in the same column, know some
thing of the affair, and that the peek of
added eggs said TO have been provided,
were the orphans embryo of Preacher
Smiths chickens. Hunt up the bottom
facts, and let us have them through THE
| HERALD. In the interest of Hurricane
boys. }.
