THE REIDSyTLLE MYsTERY.
More About the singular Case OF
Tnronf-Cutting.


REIDSvILLE. n. C., May ls.-'special)
A special from this place Saturday night
advised you Of the finding Of man on
the edge Of the highway two miles from

his throat otherwise badly cut. Upon
being carried TO a neighboring caDm ne
wrote his name as Charles Preston, OF
Patrick county, Va, and wrote, further'
that the day before ne had been inter-
ccpted on the road as he was journeyins
TO Burlington. where he was 10 teaCh
school, by two well-drossed men, VINO
forcibly carried him down into the Woo1S'
demanded money, and finding none. threw
hin upon the ground. cut his throat anu
left him for dead. lie afterwards crawled
20 the roadside being found by passef-
by.
FOUND THE SPOT.
These were the particulars then, and
nothing new is known to-day. except
that parties visiting the place designated
by him were able to trace his tracks to
a messy spot 100 or more yards from the
road. where there were found evidences
of a struggle. a bloody razor, and some
freshly torn leaves, that had been USED
TO wipe away blood. Much interest mas
been aroused here and while many
hint at attempted suicide, the old
man sticks to his story. but adds the
following interesting details to Sheriff
Wray. who has the case IN hand: lie
writes that before assaulting him the
young men made him a proposition to
ioin a band of firebugs. Of which they
were members. They quoted Snakes
peare and then unfolded plot to burn
ReidsviIe. which he resented.
NUMEROUS QUOTATIONS..
This information was given Mr.. Wray
to-day secretly. yet about the same hour
a deputy sheriff visiting the scene Of the
conflict found pinned to nearby bush a
sheet from a memorandum-book upon
which was written: "'Tis useless for you
10 attempt TO find out who did this deed.
We did it, and have our revenge Then
followed numerous quotations from Ham
let one would conclude at once that
this was a joke, yet the Shakespearian
Rotations had not been divulged by the
old man before. Your correspondent has
lust seen the doctor in attendance, and
he states that he never saw such case
of butchery The old man is living, and
seems intelligent and bright in spirit, yet
ne breathes through a large vent in his
windpipe and the doctor says the razor
was thrust through 10 the hollow Of the
throat. then twisted and slashed up and
down. inhicting the most horrible wounds,
and even removing portions Of the wind
pipe.

The truth oi the old saying that "the English people dearly love a lord" is shown by the pension rcll o! Great Britain. More than two hun dred years ago Charles II grarted a pension in perpetuity to the Duke of Portland, for no other reason than that he and the duke were jolly good fellows and on very friendly terms
 This pension is equal D Syj,G9O a year and for the past 22l years has been paid to successive dukes with Ou. a wo-d of protest from the Eng fish people. out of whose pockets the money comes.
