A Scoundrel's Work.

Recently some constituencies scoun-
drel has defaced the tombstones Of
the cemetery. The discovery was
made the other day that some un
known parties had taken sledge
hammer and mashed large pieces of
marble off some Of the most expen-
sive tombstones in the cemetery.
Half dozen have been thus in

the perpetrators of the outrage. In
another column the Wright estate
offers $50 reward for the apprehen-
sion of the PARTIES.
The citizens should also add good
coat of tar and feathers.
