by the sheriff of Tunica county, who I.Le a vick chiokeo ou a rainy day, hut
hud broiiuht him from I ndianu a few ; hold up ynur hand uud make believe
luys ago. On Wednesday uioriiini; a
largo number nf men gathered uround
tho jail in Austin, took tho prisoner
out by foree, brought him dowu lo tho
river's edgo, placed him in a skiff, and
rowed hitu up tho river tu FuVorite
Island, an I liangod him to 4 tree over
tho spot whero tho nucd Goodcs fell

months before. A proper investiga

if tho man was guilty. When will
peoplo learn to havo confidence) in nod

couut, from what nppesrs to bo a reli
able source, says that there was no
lynching, properly so called, but that
the nieu took Buck out of jail, manned
a fleet of skills, as a sort of guard,
an 1 tho prisoner was rowed across the
river by tho waning light of tho moco
oo Weil lies lay morning about three
o'clock, to a sand bar on the Arkaosns
Shore, and there, under the long shad
ows of tho tress, tho crowd gathered
around their victim and fcasleJ their
drunkon eyes upon bis pallid face, trem
bling lips nnd tottering limbs, while
our-es and blasphemies disturbed tho
quietude of the uioning oir. As tho
first gray stroaks ol dawo shot upwarJ
from the eastern sky, n gravo was
scooped out of tho sand by n lot of men
who appoarod at that moment, more
like demons than human beings.
Minding tho wrttob's Lauds and feel
together, thoy threw him iuto tho hole.
Two or throo of the stoutest stood
upon his body while tho hole was boiag
tilled up, lifting, thoir feet every now
uod thon to beep ou a lervol with the
rising sand. As the sand weut ia
tho-io men actually ditooed upon the
smothering victim beneath, and the
whole crow! broke out in aa uuaarthly
song. At length, whto the bolo wat
lillud up and bespod over, a "stag
daooe" was improvised, and the twenty
vlgulantors carried on the revel u pt il
the tun rose above the horizoa, when
tbey hurried to thoir skiffs and disap
peared u p and down the river tlong tht
Mississippi shore.

farmers to gather their teed corn for

into his field, aod, aeleoting the beat

thoroughly dry before freesing weath

play ho hard a-in you. I've lived
und truvelel mound sumo, Boh, and
and I've found out that as soon us fulks
thought you hell a weak hand, they'd
all buck n,'io you Blrmig. So when
you're sort'r weak, keep a bold look
but play caul ious ; bestitisflel wilh u
point. Many's tho hand I've seen 'em
cuuhro cause they played for too much.
Keep your eyes wjll skinned, Hob;
don't let them nig you ; recollect the
game luys as much with tbo head ns
with the hands, lie tempera's, nover
get druuk, for then, no mutter how
good your hand, you won't know how
to play it; bulb bowers and tho eco
won't save you ; for there's certain t
be n "miss deul'' or something wrong.
And another thin, li ib, ll.U was
spoken in a low lone j, don't go t'
much on tho wounn ; queens is kinder
poor cards, the more you have of them
tho worse for you ; you might have
three and oury a trump. I dou't buy
discard 'era all ; ifyou get hold of one
thut is trump it's nil good, and there's
sai tin te be one ont uf four. And,
above oil, Hob, be honest; uevor tuke

nor slip cards or nig, for then you can't
look your man in the lueo, and wh.'ii
that's tho cae there's n fun in the

now, Hob, farewoll ; remember what
