ton county have mil with oposition mtw i .
annoyances and bet n made (<• feel that
they and their flocks were not w anted tin it*,
but up to a few dsvsago no serion* trouble
had occurred. Previous to Frida) iii^hl
of last week a sheepman, who i« a British
subject, but whose name we eould not
learn, was molest* d and wauled I" have.
He has laid his ease before the British eon
sill, and more will be heard of Inin ln,re
after. On Friday night, however, * igid
masked men went to the »het p pen where
Ed. Ft ndleton’s flock was quartered, and
after blinding the herder and threatening
his life, opened the gates and went to
killing and maiming the sheep. Eighty
eight sheep were killed oulii'.dil and fifty
wound'd. The balance were seatiered
that of and the herder told that his lift* should
coin - ! P»y the forfeit if hi* left his place before
morning. After being untied, however,
he went out and herded the Mock until
morning, ami then drove them t" I'endle-
ton’s house, about a mile from the pen,
aud told him of the night’s work. Phis
was the iirst intimation IVudleion had <-f
the outrage that had been perp»trated.
A consultation was had among tin* sheep
men and aud a meeting called to assemble
sit Carlton on Tuesday. When Tuesday
came sum twelve sheep men were at tile
place of meeting, and about one hundred
not owning sheep. These latter, styling
themselves n< n-shei p men, took pos.-» s
sion of the hall and proceeded to run the
meeting, inviting tin* sheep men to n ti*e.
A committee then waited upon the sheep
mi ll and inquired if tle v would abide by
the, action of the meeting, and endorse
any resolution, passed. Tin* ?heep men
said probably they would if they knew
vvlmt tin* resolutions would be, but de-
clined to commit themselves. 'Phc emu-
mit’ee returned to the hall where, foi
soiin* time, nothing was done, but finally
the sheep men wet** invited up Then a
resolution was passed to the elTYel that the
•dieepTucn should be protected in their
persons and property. One of tin* sheep
men then proposed to send a petition to
tlie governor settiter out tin condition of
a lairs a i I asking aid and protection.
While this was i eing di-eusse 1 the "non
sheep owners,” u* they styled themselves,
left the hull and only about thirty signa
lures were secured to the petition. V\ c
further learn that Mr Jones, a son of tin*
hotel keeper ill. Clifton, rcecutly drove a
tloek of sheep into lla'iiH’oti county mid
went, with Ids family to live there.
Notice was served on him to leave oi**he
would be killed. The threats, we are
told, weld so far a«> to inelu !< tin* women

from our town of Mrs. Masson and her
fair daughter, Mrs, J. 8. King, more
familliarly known fo Alexandrians as Miss
May Thorn. They came here about four
months ago, and about two mouths since
became proprietors of the Alexander
house, where they have suceesfully en-
deavored to pander to tin* tastes »»f the

coiliitcaame. Although she has been
with uslmta short time yet her fascinat-
ing ways have so Won the hearts of our
good people and especially of those among
U8 who have hoarded with her, that we
will long hold our atfepiainta’ice w ith her
a.s one of memories’ brightest gems. But,
like many other blessings, she lias taken
her flight. The very qualities which ho
endeared her to our hearts were the means
of taking her from us. One of \N hitney’s

How to Stop Your Paper.
You have an undoubted right to stop
your paper when you feel disposed, upon
the payment of ail arrears. Do not lies!
late to do soon account of “tenderness"
for the editor. Mcai't you suppose he
would stop buying of you sugar, meat,
dry goods or clothing, etc., if lie thought
he was not getting Ids money's worth,
/else tile si
privilege with him? Am! when you dis.
continue your paper, do so manfully.
Don't bo so spiteful as to throw il Im* k to
the postmaster with a contemptuous, “I
don’t want it any lunger!" and have wrlt'en
'•refused" on the margin, anil have the
paper returned to the editor. No gentle-
man ever stopped Ids paper in that way,
no matter If Ids hood is cov - '
