Mr. Lewis Sadtler, of our town, had some pota- toes that sprouted from the ground, and. b: the time the vines were visible the bug was on them, and seemed to have come from the ground at the same eo. A Gross Outrage.—On Friday evening last the wife of Richard Williams, colored, living about two or three miles from this pla outraged by a negro man named Jol who is married an: county for some years past, working for va- rious farmers until a short time since, whe he removed to this town, where he has been lying idle. His viciim, in company with a small boy, had been in this place dealing, and on her way home called at the (whieh is on one of the back streets) oceapic by this negro man, and, upon leaving, w followed by “Jack.” and after passing yond the limits of the town he committed ihe fendish crime. The boy screamed to the utmost of his voice, but there being nobody in the linmediate vicinity the fiend eluded detection until an early hour Saturday morn- ing. when. after nearly an all-night’s search he was caught by an officer and brought t trial before Justice Bouic, of this town. Af the identification of Lyles by the wom: was committed to jail to await trial. A Child Burned—On Thursday night, the 6th inst., the second child, a little girl about eight years of age, of Mr. John Sheppach, residing about three and a half miles east of this p was so badly burned that she ex- pired a few hours after the sad occurrence. It seems that It had always been the custom for all the children, three or four in number. to retire at-a certain hour. On the night of the accident they all had taken leave of their parents and were on their way to the second story of the building, the little girl being the hindmost one with a coal oil lamp, which is supposed to have exploded or was brok: the swiftly closing of the bedroom di Rockville Sentine?.
