Later in the evening she gave “Tom,” also a humorous piece, with even better effect than the former, the humor being more subtle and requiring a finer touch.—[Evansville Argus. The leading paper of the south says: Mrs. ltoszcll is an accomplished lady and gifted elocutionist, and her readings are always characterized by an intelligent appreciation and a faithful interpretation of the text.—[Louisville Courier-Journal. Louisville, Ky., June 26, ’83. It offords me pleasure to contribute my cordial testimonial to a lady so accomplished and worthy as Mrs. Allie Itoszell. I have known her from" her girlhood to the present, and can with confidence say there are few women of such rare talent. AVith her accomplishments, she has linked a life of Ufcautiful character full of the nobilities of a true women. She is worthy the confidence of all true men and women aud worthy of success in her profession. Geohue AV. Bain. An associated'Press dispatch says that Dubois, Crawford, Orange, and Pike counties have for a long time had lawless bands whose crimes have given much annoyance. The country is remote from railroads and telegraph and facilities for the detection of crime are not good, Occasionally the people have resorted to Vigilance Committees with good effect. Four disguised men entered John Pliek’s house In Orange county recently aud demanded his money. He refused at first, but after being beaten until he feared worse treatment, he gave up $1,000. The same night the same party frightened a widow in the same locality into giving them $300. At another place in Crawford county another similar gang attacked Mr. George Patton while at supper. The family fled for their lives, while Patton endeavored to save his money. The gang threatened to kill him and did nearly accomplish it. For a long time Patton refused to tell where his money was. AVhen almost dead he gave tip $500. Demanding more, he told them that was all, but they knocked him down, dragged him to the barn aud took $400 in gold, which they, by some means, discovered was concealed there. The same night they robbed Alexander Brown and wife, an aged couple, of SI300, all they had. The entile country is agitated over the crimes. In speaking of the above the New Albany Ledger of a few days ago says that the band is supposed io consist of four men, who were l ast seen in the neighborhood of AVinslow, Pike county. Look out for these desperadoes.
