fertile of comment. It appears that he was a

his followers possessed a weakness of mind

that ascendency ()ter them which Idl them to

found that it was the aline-house for the ,

Sharp's rifles, several bides of revolvers, and
eighteen hundred pike.. AU of them Are

the fulminated powder instead of percussion,

eight inches low!. and protected where it en-!
ters the staff by a strong guard and Ileacy

about six feet long, the whole forming a most
formidable javelin.
There was no person near the school house !

for the house of Capt. Brown, 4 tildes farther

about six o'clock in the evening with a wa,;on

ing up, the "Johnny Cross"ordor—we give the
public warning of it—and the Star a;,►ain,at ii i
old ganre, "don't know anytheag about" it!
Of course, not—because the managers 'are
