A young lady who hves in the neighbor-
hood of the county poor house, whom we
know to be worthy of all confidence, tells the
Intelligencer that = few days ago an old wo-
man named Goodhue, started to leave the
poor house. Mr.. Howsare was absent, but
. hired man he has there followed the old |
woman, and overtsking her got . lsree,heavy
switch ind gave her IN unmerciful beating, |
wearing the switch out, and that he procured
q second switch but did not use It. Mrs. |
Goodhue is said to be about 70 years of age.
We should not print this charge without
what we think to be the best Of authority. If
there Is any reply to make to 1t We shall print
that. But whatever the provocation was,
nothing can justify tho beating of IN old wo-
man. Thu poor house Is INF secluded place,
away from general observation, but it is not
SO hidden that its conduct can violste tho
Of humanity. The people sustain it be-
cause they are humane. They do not pro-
pose TO have any fewksbury longs in their
midst. Mr.. Howsare, the keeper of the poor,
owes it to himself to investigate this matter.
He should promptly file All information
sgainst the man for assault, and then dismiss
him from his service
"Observer" writes from Aallvills:-"Capt.
John Ardinger left us ON the 9Th inst, for
Lexington, which placs he expects to make
his future home. We are sorry to lose him
and his most eslimable lady. Eugene Will
liams, Of Williams 4 Bro, returned to our
on the 9Th inst. He, as was announced
in last weeks paper, was married; he and his
wife have como among Us to live; we extend
to them q hearty welcome, wishing them 4
long and happy life. May NO cloud of sorrow
across the horizon of their happiness to
mar the eternal felicity thu: should reign su-
preme all through their married life. .Messrs.

Major b Greer will next week begin the cree
ton of an addition to their already large
mill. 80. u correspondent heard itreported
On the streets this week, that three large
brick buildings would be erected here soon;
this is true, for men have got hold of the en-
terprise who generally do what they say they
will. There are no births, marriages or
deaths to. report this week....It is now so
here that the farmers cannot pillow their |
corn, Consequently it is getting very bad.

'redit. We have not learned the exact ]
