CLAvERAcK, Columbia Co., JAN lS, lS45.
DEAR BENEFIT


After the sealing and departure of the hasty and
imperfectly written note sent you yesterday, our
village was in a tumultuous and turbulent state
The villains who committed the gross outrage on
Woph, have been taken, and are now lodged in
the Hudson Jail. They prove to be four brothers
by the name Of Jackson, and have lived in our
vicinity some time. On knocking Woph down,
they made tracks for place about two miles dis.
tant from the village, called Ketts Saw Mills, and
were there captured after some trouble by the in
trepidity of John H. Steekles and Hudson Lume-
rec, Esqs who would have hung them up without
law or license, had not some citizens nterfered and
stopped them.


There appears to have been some dozen or more
young ruftians in the same scrape, from the fact
that other outrages were committed the same day
The person who struck Mr. Stow, was pursued by
Mr.. A. Skinkle, but without success he informs
me, that the fellow thwarted and non plusd him
by splitting some tobacco juice in his eyes, which
think rather efficacious resort to avoid recog
milton.


Judging from all the reports that hear, Hudson
must be the scene Of many funny rows The wags
and loafers raised the ve-y devil with your Dutch
troops, sent here to guard our Jail, at the Hudson
House the other night. One was made TO drink
quartz of hot water from tea kettle, and then hired
to run four times from the ferry landing to the
public square, with two strings OF bells around his
neck the noise created all kinds of stories, some
said detachment had come from Copake to burn
the city, and rescue the prisoners. The city hall bell
Immediately commenced ringing, and the people
in much tribulation, especially the old ladies, who
whether there was going TO be any ravishing.
