Tone of the MONITORS Wheelock
friends writes us that those parties
who were reported to be looking after
a Sheffield gentleman some nights
since were there at the request of
Sheriff Sulloway, who was looking
for man, against whom the states
attorney had issued papers, for a
crime which newspapers say very
little about. The other party, a
woman, has been indicted and awaits
trial. On the other hand we are in
formed that nineteen persons consti-
tuted the posse who were looking
about the village, peeping into win
dows, tramping down garden stuff
and frightening timid people, in
search of one who found it inconven-
lent to be present on that occasion.
Some of the sheriff's assistants were
inspired, doubtless, in their noe
turnal adventure, by other than con-
scientious pangs for the alleged
violation of law and the breaking of
the seventh commandment. Ed
