Murchnl ClnrK nnd «Tnme* Sh©U©n, two Irishmen named Darby Carney and John Brady, and an Englishman named Thomas Ellis, on and near the corner of Milwaukee and Michi gan streets, Milwaukee, about half past seven o’clock on last Friday evening. Early Saturday morning the negroes were arrested, and that day were lodged in the jail, having confessed the deed, but claiming, we believe, that they were in liquor, and that it was the result of n drunken fight about a couple of girls who were passing along at the time. About half past ten on Saturday night, Carney died of his injuries. Immediately after the fire bells were rung, nnd the friends of the de ceased, two or three hundred in number, repaired to the jftil where the prisoners were confined. Not being admitted peaceably, they “stormed" th© place, and took one of the prisoners named Clark out, and after putting him through an examina tion, they hung him on the nearest tree. The other negro, named Shelton, escaped during the row, although he was once in the hands of the infuriated mob.

A third boat, in which was Mr. Joseph Jackson, who also went to their relief, was likewise capsized, but Mr. J. managed to swim to the shore.

WOOD’S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL AND BLOOD RENOVATOR Is precisely what its name indicates, for while pica* sant to the taste, it is revivifying, exhilarating, and strengthening to the vital powers. It also revivifies, reinstates, nnd renews the blood iu all its original purity, und thuß restores and renders the system invulnerable to attacks of disease. It is the only preparation ever offered to the world in a popular form, bo as to he within the reach of all. So chemi cally and skillfully combined as to be the most pow erful tonic, and yet so perfectly adapted as to act in perfect accordance with the laws of nature , and hence soothe the weakest stomach , and tone up the digestive organs, and allay all nervous and other irritation. It is also perfectly exhilarating in its effect?, and yet it is never followed by lassi tude or depression of spirts. It is composed entire ly of vegetables* and tfioso thorougldy combining powerfully tonic anil soothing properties, and con sequently can never injure. Such a remedy has long been felt to he a desideratum in the medical jworld, both by the thoroughly skilled in medical 'science, and also by ull who have suffered From de jhility} for it needs no medical skill or knowledge ’even to see that debility follows all attacks of dia jcusc and lays the unguarded syntem open to thei attacks of p-tiUiy of tho most Jangerons to whieh poor humanity is constantly liable. Such, for ex* simple, as the following: Consumption, Bronchitis, indigestion, Dyspepsia, Loss of appetite, Faintness, Nervous Irritability, Neuralgia, Palpitation of the Heart, Melancholy, Hypochondria, Night Sweats,!
