An Indignant Farmer.

The GAZETTE is in receipt OF
the following heated article from,
a justly indignant resident OF
Granger, with the request that it
be given publication:
EDITOR GAzETTE:-If there
is anything more fiendisl, than
the desire to annoy others who
have done nothing, to merit it,
who are perhaps in their beds
and asleep-in fact, that is a
favorite time with such mis-
creants-it would be difficult
to say what it is. This spirit,
probably leads to every crime,
yet the indulgence in it to a cer-
tain or rather uncertain extent
is excusable as playsulness.
A dozen or more young men
and women aroused us from our
slurnbers about 10 O'Clock Tues
day night, by yells at each house
they passed until they reached
our place, at which they stopped
and gave us old tolks-old
enough to be grandparents of
any of the11l-all Of the various
yells. and screeches interspersed
with smart aleck calls, which
their small brains could COM
mand for ten minutes or more.
They wanted nothing but to in
suit, disturb and annoy all per
sons living on the road If coun-
try people would do that way in
town they would be arrested and
fined, and justly, too; but be-
cause an. officer is not at hand in
the 1country, such things can be
done without fear of punishment,
because the. law would not take
cognizance Of such conduct, we
will try and see if we cannot de-
fend ourselves some way.
