and windows will be barred. while within
will stand resolute men, ready to lay down
Their lives before seeing their wives and
children thrown out into the snow, which

with foreigners, preparing for a siege,
which they expect to open tomorrow.

of provisions, trudged homeward through
the snow, carrying provender which is
generally purchased by the females. On
the operators side there have been numer-
Gus conclaves and private consultations to-
day. When bluntly questioned as to the

give any information. Thirty Hungarians,
fresh from Castle Garden, arrived at Ston-
ervilie on Saturday eve, with bundles,

assistance, Captain Searles, with twenty
two men, left here at 2 A. NJ. and arrived at

well known negro barkeeper, on Saturday
evening, by the enraged citizens of that
place. Fowler, who was a married man
about 10 years old, of rather ungainly APP
pearance, pushed his attentions upon
white women whenever he could
make 1t convenient 10 do so. On
Saturday last he wrote and delivered
note to a married woman whose hus-
band was absent, making indecent pro-
posals, and the lady delivered the note to
her husband on his return. A meeting of
citizens was called. and the proposition
made to tar and feather him: but II was
decided TO confront him with the lady her
self, and Fowler was arrested He made
an effort to wrest pistol from the hands
OF one OF his guards, when the weapon was
discharged, the ball missing the Mayor and
burning his hand badly. This infiamed
the crowd, who, without mercy, riddled
him with bullets. The excitement has
now abated, and no further apprehension
of trouble exists.
