ANOTHER OUTRAGE.—Henry Decker and his bride, who were married in this city on Thursday last, returned from a short wedding tour Friday evening, and were insulted by the blackguard brigade with the usual charivari.
This kind of ruffianism ought to be suppressed, either by a liberal application of croton oil to the whisky exacted as tribute by the outcasts who render night hideous by their unearthly noises—or by shot-guns—and we hope the next young couple married in this city will apply one remedy or the other.
In this enlightened age and country, ignorance of itself is a crime, and ought not to be permitted to run riot and periodically disturb the repose of whole communities.
