bushels of corn and 70 hogsheads of tobac

The officers, abotit 109 in number, started
Tor the spot, and when the)' arrived at Ken

Under their surveillance, tho workmen
proceeded; but were soon distuibed by ihe
populace, opposed to tho Road when they
were repulsed by the Police, who took 15
or 18 of the rioters prisoners, but, an attack

only able to retain 8 men and one woman.
In this melee, six or soven of tho police
were much injured, and two. Messrs. Dai
