Can il be possible that our own
Honest? John was given TO lying be-
fore he joined the church? If so, he
certainly has not improved much ON
that score since his miraculous con-
version For evidence of this wit
ness his statement in the Guzette OF
June in which he says 1.-THE Pine
Hill hennery has gone to the dog S
and no reason assigned for the fall -
That "my connection with the PIKE
COUNTY Pass is the cause, land
that we have started a cattary -
Each one of these statements are
lies from the whole cloth, and Hon
est? John knew them to be such
when he sent them to the menda-
ciUus Gazette. Being written with
the evidently malicious inten-
tion of injuring my business,
it becomes criminal libel. If
there is anything honest about him
besides his assumed name he will
show it by making the correction
that any one has a right to eXpec
from an honest man, and a gentle
man. am not sure he is either.
but give him the benefit of the
doubt by allowing him a chance to
right wrong, without the pressure
l am justified in applying. As to
the "PIKE COUNTY Press ure" it
sets well on my stomach, and would
on his if he were man enough to ap-
preciate it. 1t is only cattle of his
! ilk that feel its Press -ure. Long
may it continue in the good work of
exposing frauds and huInbugs.
His reference to "cattary" is so
supremely foolish that even a per-
son like Honest? John with an up
per story to let should appreciate
the Stiffness of it. AS the 'cattary"
part was inspired by his silly assis -
tant, / will pay my compliments to
that oificious functionary by nam
ing in Il future article the person
! who renders Honest John such eff
cient aid when he has drought of
ideas, and that is pretty much all
! the year round. H.

trustees refused to grant a conces-

posing to build, which requested to
be relieved of "a miles of road in
the grant on the ground that it
would not pay to build it, The re-
representatives. stated they were will
ing TO build as much as would pay
but did not want to be encumbered
with a line which would not, as that
would prove disastrous to the whole
scheme. This seems reasonable, and
it would be supposed that no muni-
cipality would care to burden cor
poration with a load it could not
carry, and to make such an alterna-
tive as would prevent any building
at all. Any foreign capital in tro
duced in Il town and expended in
public works must be of great bene
fit, and the company would not be
slow to extend the line if it would
pay to DO So The Trustees may be
right, but ON the surface and to a
casual beholder it looks as if they
were right-wrong

ENCOUNTER Win rwo NEGROES.
Night Waterman Mcdonald Bitten and
Dlsarmed and the Negroes Escape.

Between 8. and 4 clock on Wednesday
morning Night Waterman John Mcdonald,
whose beat is at the West End, this city, frons
the railroad TO Bond street, was standing at
the gate at the Main street crossing. The
east bound freight had stopped just west of
the station and two colored men came from
the direction of he train. They stopped
eight or ten yards away from the officer.
CLOSELY behind them came Conductor Pierce,
of the freight train. He directed Mcdonald
to arrest the men. Mcdonald went over TO
the men and laid hold of the smaller one, and
told the Conductor to call Officer Mitten, who
was in the station The other negro started
to run, but quickly changed his mind and
came back. He was about to strike the Off
Ger, when the latter reached for his revolver.
In an instant the negro rushed in and got be-
hind Mcdonald and clasped him around the
body and arms Mcdonald got his revolver
ont, but could not use it.
The negroes then set upon Mcdonald.
During the senffle Mcdonald right hand was
slightly bitten by one of the negroes, and the
revolver was wrenched from his hand. The
negroes then ran down the railroad track, to-
ward the coal chute, and were followed by Of
ficers Mcdonald and Mitten but escaped.
In the encounter with Mcdonald one of the
negroes dropped a book which the officer
picked up. Ii was ulaFy Iof 1850 III ID
were number of entries Of expenses, kept in
a neat hand and evidently by some intelligent
person, and had most likely been stolen in a
midnight raid. A number of names and adj
dresses were written in the book also, no
doubt written by the eolored man who dropped
it. One was ERNEST Dean Pointdexter, 104
johnson street, Staunton, Virginia" Another
was-''Wait Hinkle, New Market, Vir mia.
There was also number of names of men
and women, probably all colored.
The diary may furnish clue to a robbery,
and Officer Mcdonald has written to the CHIEF
of police at Staunton, Va, making inquiries
rs to the persons whose names were written in
the book.
