A BRUTAL AcT.-On last Monday
night Messrs. Ashby and Robert
Sherrard met with heavy loss BIZ
having their valuable blooded mare.
Brownie, poisoned by some brute in
human form. while hitched along the
sidewalk in Gerardstown. The mare
was one of the best bred animals
that has ever been IN Berkeley coun-
ty, having been purchased at the
famous stock farm of Isaac Staples,
Saltwater, Mimi, and brought here
by Mrs. Clark, who formerly lived in
the old Sencindiver farm near Bun
ker Hill. 1t is to be hoped that the
good people of Gerardstown will not
rest until they have found out the
villain and melted TO him the penalty
whirh his inhuman acts deserve. No
man in the neighborhood can rest in
security SO long as it is infested by
such a character, for he will not hes
itate to commit arson or MURDER
