Ho took his arrest philosophically, and
said ho proposed to see tho thing out
with tho parties who were at tho bottom
of the a (lair. In a conversation with him,
it was learned that he, in company with
Miss Borsha O. Wood, has been giving
elocutionary entertainpients for somo
time past in a number ot tho towns in
tho interior of tho Stato. Miss Wood
hails from Cleveland, O., and is "on tho
list" as assistant teacher at tho Rusk
School of Elocution of that place. Sho
claims also to bo "Kentucky's brilliant
reader and commediono," nnd that she
has "just returned from a tour of fifteen
States, in which sho has been most favorably
received as a lady of culture and refinement."
Sho takes tho leading part in
tho entertainments and is followed by
Hill in his"greit specialties, tho 'Rum
Maniac' "
Hill attributes his arrest to two preachers
of Nopton, Fleming County, lie and
Miss Wood arrived there yesterday morning
from Milleraburg, whore ho claims
they had given an entertainment the
night before in the Millorsburg Female
College. Tho Misses Vonholtz are conducting
a meeting at Nopton, and tho fun
began when ho entered whore the
meeting was going on and announced ono
of his entertainments to ako placo at the
Nopton Seminary at 4 o'clock. Somo of
tho people remonstrated with him, but
ho wont on with preparations for his
"show."
A short time beforo the entertainment
was to commence, Hill noticed tho people
whispering mysteriously to each
other and concluded that something was
wrong.
