couple and residents of this town, Mr.
Wood being an upright and esteemed cti
zen, were treated in dsgraceful manner
by several of his neighbors and THEN
hired men, who, in the style of mol
attacked the house, pelting it with rotter
potatoes that We're found in the barn
stones, clubs, etc, breaking windows and
otherwise dlsil9urng the house. What
might be an innocent serenade is on,
thing and a hOwling mob is another, ant

quiet disposition that the whole party are
not prosecuted as they should be.
