Shameful Rowdyism in Afton
A few nights since a number of "roughs" in the village of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], led by a rumseller of the place, went through that lowest of all performances, "horning," As usual, it was for the benefit of a recently married couple, who, in this case, were staying at the house of the bride's father, Mr. Merlin Jackson, an old and much respected inhabitant of the above named town. During the "pow-wow" the "rowdies" threw missiles against the house, danced their war dance on the front-stoop, broke the fence pickets, and lastly loaded a cannon and placed it in front of the building. A poor drunken fellow was induced to fire the cannon, which exploded, knocking his front teeth out and nearly killing him. Pieces of the gun broke through the window, filling the face and eyes of Mrs. Jackson with bits of glass, leaving her insensible. A physician was soon in attendance, however, and gave relief. Such performances received the indignation of all good citizens, and ought to receive attention from the officers of the law. Binghamton Standard
