and Return no More

Washington, n. c.. June oo.-(Special)
This morning just before the morning
train left for Parmele, considerable
commotion occurred in the neighborhood
of the depot, caused by the horse-whip-
ping of one j. +. Woodward, who has
been in this city buying and soliciting
shipment of potatoes to G. NJ. Snyder
& CO., of 207 Duane Street, New York
City.
The facts in the case that eliminated
in the horsewhipping accompanied with
the order to never place his foot in this
city again are about as follows: On yes
terday one of our most accomplished
young ladies was passing down the street
when she was overtaken by Woodward,
who made repeated improper proposals
to her and persisted until the young
lady threatened to call for protection.
On the young lady arriving at home, she
reported the facts to her family and
gave an accurate description of her as
sailaM, and from her DESCRIPTION of the
man and the kind of clothes he wore
Woodward was Immediately suspected
as being the person.
This morning on its being learned that
Woodward would leave on the train a
party Of gentlemen repaired 70 the depot
armed with a couple OF whips and a
rope and after Woodward had been posi-
lively identified by the young lady. who
had previously been instructed to be at
the depot, proceeded to administer the
horsewhipping, after which he was or
dcred to board the train and never
return.
We hear that Woodward is resi-
dent Of Warsaw, has a family and is
highly connected.
The universal sentiment of the com
munity is the scoundrel got what he
deserved, and the parties who admins
tered the threshing served him right.
