EXCITEMENT IN THE VILLAGE.

For months past, the village of Lucan has been brought into unenviable notoriety, mainly through the lawless product of a few of its inhabitants, the most prominent in the work being the members of the Donnelly family - five or six young men. Two of them have owned a couple of stages for years past, and we doubt not have amassed considerable money in running them between this city and the villages and towns to the north of us. The brothers fancied that they had an exclusive right to the brothers along the Proof Line Road, and endeavored to impress upon the minds of anyone, with sufficient daring to oppose them, by threats, insinuation and not unfrequently assaults, that they were "monarchs of the line," and intended to preserve the trade, at all hazards, the public had put force been compelled to accord them. [...] At a late hour last night two of the brothers, John and James, were overtaken by the exasperated villagers and placed under surveillance. Between twenty and thirty men from the neighborhood were in search of the others at last accounts.
