A Lively Fracas.

Horace Costin, Will Mock and John
Mock, three Young negro rowdies of
Onancock who have several times been
arraigned before the authorities OF that
town ana punished for their riotous and
disgraceful conduct, sailed down Oman
cock creek last Saturday afternoon to
clean out colored picnic i'll Sluthkill
Neck near Finney's wharf. They had
l.ardly landed before they egan to go
about the grounds in bullying manner
insulting everybody they met and try
ing to raise a row. The Neck negroes,
who are said to have had an old grudgc
against these three registering rowdies
determined to drive them from the
grounds. A furious fight ensued, both
sides were reinforced, but the Sluthkill
Neckcrs far outnumbered their oppo.
uents. Knives, razors and clubs were
freely used. John Mock was severely
cut about the arms, Bill Mock had his
throat cut from chin to ear SO seriously
that lis recovery is doubtful, and HOr-
ace Costin. the leader of the gang, was
knocked down, STAMP ed upon, and
beaten with clubs and chunks till he
lay in an insensible condition OH the
ground. lie managed 10 escape by
crawling into ditch where he lay till
late at night. The two Nocks tried to
escape to their boat which was lying in
the creek close by, but they were so
holly pursued outil the water by the
infatuated egroes that they had toseek
safety by swimming across branch of
the creek fully a hundred yards wide.
John Glenn was the only one Oh the
other side seriously hurt. He had his
throat so seriously cut that it is thought
that he will die. After chasing away
the rioters, the Infatuated negroes tore
their boat up. and cut to pitceS their
clothes, shoes and hats which had been
torn from them in the fight.
This was one of the most disgrace
Sui and lawless disturbances that ever
occurred in this county, and all the
guilty parties should be arrested and
dealt with according to the strictest re-
quirements of the law.
