Mrs. Ritch'a maiden name waf Laura Susan Murr, and the ws hon. in Concord on February 12th, 1854 and was therefore in hr 43r.l year. On December 15th, 1874, she wat married to Mr. Mark L. Ritch, of Concord. She moved to Salisbury some five or six years ago, and hat livsd here eyer since. Unto her wat bo n Bix children, five girls and oli boy, all of whom are living and wen present, together with the husband and mother, when the end came. Iu early giriho d she connected herself with i ho Evangelical Lutheran chinch and leunined faithful to the tioctrims of the church until death she was a coaly woman and took pride in always being in her nccus tnmtd pew whenever she could. The way in which she bore her . fll ctiou was remark ible. She never murmurt.'d, but always looked on the b;i:ht tide, and, although she was cmfident of tbe eeriotisnecs of hi rente, the never lout hope and only jesterday taid that she f el better. She greeted each yisitoi with a sweet smile and u welcomt nod. Jutt beform she died shi wanted some stimulants and just a they were preparid and ready to ad minister to her she closed her eye? and passed into Il-aveu'y rest.

Oa last Saturday Mr9. Nuttal charged the woman, who was em ployed by her as nurse, with treat in the baby cruelly. The woman fldw into a towc-ting passion and told Mrs. Nuttall that she was a liar Mrs. Nutlali told her that she would discharge her and would inform Mr Nuttall of her conduct as soon as be returned home. Then the infuriated wench threw the baby, which she had in her nrms, on the floor and attacked Mrs. Nuttall viciously. She struck her on the head and fac time and again and, her hair com' ing down, caught her by that and beat her head against the wall un til she was forced to desist from aheer exhaustion, and, right here, comes in a most pathetic incident of this diabolical outrage. The lit tie child, just beginning to talk, begged the black w retch to pleasi not whip her mama, but even the piteous pleading of the little one hail noefTiciupon the woman. Mrs. Nuttall, as soon as it war over with, and the woman had left iho hourfe, sent for her husband, Mr E B Nuttall, a merchant of thi place, and her brother, Mr. Cameron M irrison, a popular youug attorney. These gentlemeu, when they learned the fiicls in the ca-c, went to the bouse of a negro in the neighbor lood, where the g r'. was, to see hei bout tbe affair. They found the house surrounded by a number of negroes, armed with cudb and pis tois, who defied them to enter. Neither of them being armed, they lid not at thn time bring the affair to an issue, and, on returning later, found that the woman had beeD spirited away. The negroes of the town gave it o':t '.lat the woman would be sent to Richmond, Va , and the trains a' both Rockingham and Hamlet were watched Saturday night, but a' neither place did she attempt te board the cars. SHE ia DRIVEN THROUGH THE STREETS SURROUNDED IIY A MOD. Oa Sunday morning the second chapter of thi-i, the most disgrace ful affair that ever stained thenn nals of this section of the S'nte, was enacted. On fhis, the Lord's day, when the good citizens of tho town were making ready to attend upon tho services of the sanctuary, this she devil was put in a buggy and, surrounded by a mob of at least 1CK armed nigroes, was driven through the principal streets of the town into the country and thence into South Carolina. All this, too, in defiant of the law, as a warrant, charging the woman with assault and bat tery, was in the hands of the offi cers of tho law. As showing tho uglv and dan gerous spirit evinced by the negroet ol Rockingham on this occasion, it is said that as soon as the affair bj camo known to them and they learned of it before it became gen erally known to the whites they went all over town and bought all the firearms they could fiud.

For the past Feveral years the families of "Robbie'' Littleton apd I F IMaylock, have been livirg peaceably side by side on the best of neighborly terms at Forest Hill. But things have changed. Oj las-Friday, June 19.h, Bob Littleton, a man Co years of age, gathered his vessels and etarted out to pick blackberries, in company with little Emma Blaylock, tbe 11 year old child of Mr. and Mrs. J F Blaylock, and when the two were some distance from town and thought to ba concealed in tbe briars and bushes, the old, hoary beaded man attempted to commit a nameless crime upon the little ohild. Her screams reached the ears of two women who were near and not until their appearance was observed did the old villian release his helpless victim. The old man and child resumed their hunt for berries and matters amicably smoothed over until Thursday evening, when news of the horrible affair found lodgement in tbe ears of the child's parents. Mr. Blaylock, when apprised of the matter, began lo investigate, tbe result of which is as stated above. Mr. Blaylock at first made throats of violence, but upon second thought, he retorted to law and had a warrant taken oat late Thursday evening for Littleton's arrest. But alas I too late. The old man bad fled, lie was last seen going in the direction of tbe depot and it is be lieved that be has gone to Salisbury, where he has a eon living. Littleton has been conspicuous about town for four or five years, churning to make wonderful cures among the sick and afflicted. He came here from Stanly county and has a family. He was pretty well thought of and his "cranky" ideas were always humored and he was regarded as a good citizen. Mr. Blaylock is also from Stanly and is well thought of. Officers are making a diligent search for the old man and they are confident that h will be appre hended. laken from Daily btand ard of Friday, June 2G. About Eitra CotltN.
