sad .famine in Greenland is received. The
fisheries have failed, and the people have
thus been deprived of their chief source of
food. In one village one hundred and
fifty pemons.linAre starved to death. If
the calamitpians great as indicated, it
will be the duty of other countries to come
to the relief of these stricken people. The
long`and severe Arctic winter is lefore

with empty store-houses, and no prospect'
of replenishing them • until spring opens
the icebound waters to the fishermen. If
they are not assisted from abroad, there
must inevitably be still greater suffering
than has already occurred.

lards has every where eaused great indigna

-.troubles may grow out of it. The Virgin

not in Spanish waters, and it is reported
that the United States government designs

IMA singular case was tried at Mount

the St. Louis and South-eastern Rail
road was defendant, and Chas. Myrtle,
&that place, was plaintiff. Some time
last,. summer Myrtle took passage on,thc
defendant's road to go to Evansville. He
was not provided with a ticket, being un
able to procure one by reason of the ab
sence of the local ticket agent. - He took
his seat in the cars, and when the conduc
demanded his ticket, he promptly ten-

the Company did not:allow him to take
money, and that he would be, compelled
to put the plaintiff off the cars, and he did.
The plaintiff brought suit for $2,000 dam

were delivered denouncing in unmeasured

of the murder of Abraham Lynn, •in

he might be cross•examined touching his
knowedge of the case, - and that witness
having left the State, Governor Whyte
has refused the application for pardon or
commutation of the death sentence, and
has directed that the execution take place
early in January. The Governor, it is
learned, did not consider •there was suffi
cient in the record of evidence laid before
him to justify his interference in the mat
ter, so after.a tong delay and almost in
terminable legal obstacles, Davis will be
banged early , in the first month of the

was most atrociously murdered and
thrown down a grain bin in his own
mill.

Prom Quincy.
About one hundred years ago there
lived in Lancaster county, Pa., a preach
er who was in the habit of using the ad.;
age, Big du toes, so mitchst ,du yea; bist
du schwartz, 80 machst du ochwartz ; which
in english is about as much as to say,
Are you white, so make you white; are
you black so make you black.
On the question of crime having been
committed in Quincy, men differ in opin
ion ; but it is very certain that the vil
vale is divided into two' parties, and that
the one:party is using, black paint and
the other white. It con also be proven
that, in the estimation of some persons,
black. paint bas been kept on hand for a
length of time, to be used
b _ in any 'emer
gency or when any,favorable opportunity
should offer.
About two and a half months before
the alarm took rise about poison,• a Doe
tor.aud a farmer were one day riding to
gether on the public road, The Doctor
remarked that.his wife's ,health appeared
to.b'e failing, and he had apprehensions
that, she might one day die suddenly.--=
Yes, said • the farmer ;• and if she does
they'll say you poisoned her.
Just at this time, when so much is talk•
ed.about poison, it probably would prove
interesting to the •public to have a certain
doctor's analization of a kind of poison
that don't run up a, tree, or gmws in a
fence cornet; nor does it readily enter in
to the human system, but is found in the
depraved heart of man. This doctor be:-
ing none other than Riehakd M. Johnson',
Vice-President of the United States from
1836. to 1840, will be intmduced by au
extinct of his report made iu 1830 : •
,"The Christian religion made its way
into the world in opposition to human
governments. Banishment, tortues, and
death ~were inflicted in vain to atop, its
progress.. But many of itsprofessors, as
soon as clothed with political power, lost
the meek spirit which their creed incul
cated, and began to inflict on ether reli
gions, and on dissenting, sects of their own
religion, persecutions more aggravated .
than those, which their, own apostles had
endured. The ten persecutions of pagan
emperors were exceeded in atrocity by .the
massacres and murders perpetrated' by
Christian hands; and in vain shall we
examine the records. of imperial tyranny
for an engine of cruelty equal to the Holy
Inquisition.' Every religibus sect, how
eger meek in its' origin,,,corrimmiced the
work of -persecution as soon as it acquired
political power.", ,
Some seventy, eighty or a 'hundred
years ago there were found in Quincy
township a number of people licho believed
in'witchcraft. About one mile from
Quincy resided,a deacon of a church, who
was said to, be the ,witch master.
..Some
where_ in the surrounding country was
found a physician by. the name of Fin
frock; and this man, believed intensely
in witches. ,
In those days the ~peeple, not having
much money to spend, werein. the habit
during the summer. time to gather up all
manner : of herbs, and with a string tie
them up to the rafters, on the : garret.—
When tutrone.took Fick-they used such
.remedies as, were at hand, and once in a
while if the, case was, seripue,„they sent
for the doctor.. The ,doctor• in making
his examination under ,certain ,circum
stances would render the decision that,
the patient vOtts bewitched. Then &flowed ,
the., mode of treatment. r things
first required was a half inch auger. This
secured,. the doctor now," with a 'great
deal 'of •seriousness, selects a particular
bed pint for his purpose. , Then With atl
the dignity of a professional, character, he
'sets the of the auger and 'coalmen
ceit boring a hole. The bole being finish
ed:a small plug of wood is next required,
which is nicely dreSsed up to fit the en
trance of the hole.
Tim doctor now reaches into his pock
et and brings out his bag of asafcetida;

The Spanish Massacre.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The Times has •
a special dispatch from Havana, dated
last Sunday night, which says:
- ' -- The most remarkable - feature of the
capture of the Virginius is the absOlute
non-iesistance of her ; rew when overhaul-,
ed• by 'the Tarnado. But one account of.
the chase and capture has
• been made
public, and that the readers of the Tim
• have had. through your • • correspondent.
mere, These_fA t 9 were-gleaned-from-
Spanish sources, for men ; on the, Vir
ginius were not allowed to speak, and it
is a question for ,the • future to .idecide
vhetherthe few who P .- - the,Sry 7fi-
w.tieLWr.tfie few who survive • the; pawl.
butchery will ever have
,an opportunity
to give their vernioa of the gloomy, tra
gedy to the world. Some additional facts
have come into the possession of your cor
respbudent.
The Tornado, which made the capture,
was cruising on the 31st of October,' un
der sail, about eighteen miles from the
Cuban coast. In the afternoon she sight
ed a steamer about six miles distant bead
ing toward her. The captain at once or
dered steam to be got up, and soon ob
served that the strange steamer had al
tered her course and headed for• the coast
of Jamaica, distant about one hundred
miles.
The Spanish captain at once suspected
from this unusual proceeding that the
steamer was the Virginiud.: He ordered
the engineers get up all the steam possi
ble, even if they burst the boilers, and , to
drive the.engines at their utmost speed
The Tornado, under full headway, show
ed such speed thiit it was clear that in a
long chase she would certainly overhaul
the stranger. She gained steadily on her,
byt us night drew on;the Spanish captain
feared he should , lose sight of the vessel. ,
The moon rising E however, be was enabled,
by keeping all hands ondeck. ; at. the
masthead and in the rigging, to keep a
sharp look Out. The steamer was kept in
sight until the corvette had neared her
sufficiently to bring her guns to 1 bear on
her.
The scene on the deck of the Spaniard
was one of intense excitemeitt, The fug
itive steamer, for it was now:evident that
for whatever reason she was very anxious
to escape, was observed to throw cargo
overheard, and , empty boxes arid other
material floated past the Spaniard.
' A shot was fired, but the strang:or made
no reply, and four others
was
fired in
succession: The last shot was fired at 10
31., and immediately the steamer, which
had 'led the corvette a chase of nearly
eight hours,' hove in. '
Two . boats were lo w ered' and manned
and pulled alongside. They'inet with no
resistance on boarding the'steamer, which
they had now discovered, beyond a doubt,
to be the Virginias. They took posses
sion of her by hair liijg down the' Ameri
can flag, which the 'Virginius had
dis
played throughout the chase, 'and' hoisted
the Spanish flag instead.
Captain Fry, of the Virginius, in the
usual manner handed over the steamer's
papers for the examination of the officer
zn' cdin Mand'of the boarding party, and
that officer at Once' thok charge of them
and both v6sSeis headed for Santiago de
Cuba,
Orrthe Ist of November, at 5 &chick
in the afternoon, they'arrived at Santiago
de , Cuba. Proceeding were immediately
begun against the captixes as pirates, and
notwithstanding the protest of the United
States Vice , Consul at that - port, were con
demned, and on the morning 'of the 4th
of November were shot.
A. naval court-martial was then organ
ized for .the trial of Captain Fry and the
crew of the Virginias. They were of
course condemned after a most expedi
tions trial, and " - on the 7th the Captain,
first-mate, second-made .and thirty-four
seamen were shot. • • •
• On the Bth twelve of the so-oalled."es
peditionarists'! were shot, and on the 10th
fifty-seven more were put to death.
The latest report from Santiago de Ca
ha is that only eighteen of the entire
ship's company, consisting otiginally of
169, will be saved. Some of these are
engineers, and it is assumed' that they
were' not aware of the nature of the voy-'
age, and the others are boys.
Only four, it is now stated, will escape
without suffering some form of punish.'
ment, and the remainder of those not shot'
will be condemned to the.chain gang.
