girl of his choice down with q club, and
then carries her off which she is uncon-
scious. The ''hero'', of this story is Nelson
Moore, who lived on Williams river, about
ten mile, from HllstoIo. 1t scented that
Moore became enamored Of a beautiful
young gill of sixteen years, daughter OF
Mr.. NJ. W. Gordon, living in that reigh-
borhood. He wrote her affsctiopate ltt'ens
ard made proposals Of marriage to her at
different times, but she did not reclpro-
cate his affections and refused to
have anything to do with him. Fall
ing in everything be concluded 10 force her
10 take up with him, aud through tie in
strumertality of his own dsugher tuc-
ceaded in entiCirg the young lady from the

WANTED TO TAR AND FEATHER HIM.
The people Of Grafton came within n
of tsrring and feathering Isreal A. Bever-
lin a few days ago. 1t is alleged by the
presg CT that town that Bsyerlin's out
rageous and inhuman treatment Of his
wife, caus'dh er death. The Edgle-Ssntinei
ssys: mrs. Bsvellin gave birth to a
child on the 10Th inst. AID seemed to be
improving rapidly. Bsveriin had returned
before ard appearing on the streets de-
nOurCad her rs unchaste, uting her name
in the most wanton ann This COM
Jog to her ears greatly excited her and she
became delirious and wild and grew rspid-
" worse. This Beverlin we'll knew, yet
he never went near her, not even when
informed that abe was dying, but he walked
our streets, whistljng and grinning, while
lis poor victim wa1 writhing in the agoDies
Of death. After her death he went TO Mr..
Gocd's, took charge Of the body, and on
Saturday morning shipped it to Seneca,
Ohio, accompanying it on the same train.
A crowd collected on the platform at the
depot and TREAS of TAR and feathers and
lynching were freely made and it only
awaited a Leadership to have Carl d the
thIe alta ibto execution. The feeling among
our best citizens is inten'e against this
monster in human form, remembering hi]
life as he has lived it here Cor the past 25
years"
HIS CONSCIENCE TROUBLED HIM.
o. last Moudsv Aaron Tat ,rson, who
lived on Sssmsn's Fork Of Reedy, in
Roane county, became tired of life and left
the world by the strap line. 1t is reported
that he ard ole MacIin Cain had concocted
a Matchmaking scheme by which they
got into trouble with a young man named
Sciafer and another named Delaney. The
pan as we learn vas about as follows:
Cain would get one OF these young men to
go somewhere with him, and on the road
thsy would find q coat or vest and Cain
would tell him to take it and they would
have some fun. About this time latter
son would appear from behind some object
and demand his money Of ths young man
with q large bonus not TO report the mat
ter ID the authorizes. 1t was the forftits
of these Young men in the way of property
that disclosed their methods, and MI. Tat
t~erson's conscience troubled him 30 that he
committed suicide by hanging himself IN
til dead in a shed in the rear Of his stable.
Before he killed himself he tackled @ note
on tie stable door telling where he might
be foutd. He was q nau about 30 years
old, with q wife aud five children.
LOOKOUT FOB swIEDLERs.
There were several strangers selling O
patent wire fence in Monongslia last week.
They, we understand, employed some
agents, agreeing to pay them a certsin
psr cent. for every thousand rods CT the
fence sold, on condition that they would
execute their negotiable notes for a certain
SUM PAYABLE to the Strangers. The per-
sons who bit at this l~uscious bait took it
for granted that they would not be calle1
uron TO pay TIE notes un'ii after they had
cold enough Of the fence for their per cent.
on fame TO equal the amountof their notes.
Well, they were slightly mistaken in this
calculation. The notes, a~ggregsting about
eighteen hundred dollars, were discounted
by cns OF cur banks, and they will have to
be plii when due, Wheih or not the
agents ever sell an inch of the fence. The
strangers have, Of course, gene TO pastures
new.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
On Friday les, ss Mr.. George Eyler,
