Some persons in the room objected to this reason, and seemed to think that negro evi dence io such cases was as good as gospel. Cnpt.

Wallace to Atkinson, “now, slrnnger, to save trouble, off with your shin.” “Wiih imperlurable coolness, and without opening his lips, the prisoner doffed his linen and flannel. As ho wore neither vest nor coal the ceremony was soon concluded. “He’s obedient,” said one of the crowd; "it’s best for him.” “He’s got off 100 d d easy,” said an other. “That’s a fuel,” said a third. By this lime the prisoner was naked from the loins upward. "Come out here,” snidCnpt. Wallace, “we don’t want to smear the floor with tar. “Silently and carelessly Atkinson followed him. Messrs. Bird and Hughes then cut two pad dles—slicks about a yard long and broad at one end—and proceeded slowly, amid the laughter and jests of the crowd, which At kinson seemed neither to see nor care for, to “lay it on at least half an inch deep, from the crown ofhis head to his waist; over his arms, hands, cheek, brows, hair, arm-pits, cars, back, breast and neck. As he was besmear ing Atkinson’s cheeks, one- of the operators jocularly observed that he was “touching up his whiskerswhich of course produced great merriment among the crowd, All this while ihe only outward sign of mental ngita linn that Ihe prisoner exhibited was an extra ordinary activity in chewing and cxpectora tme “Guess you've got enough on—put on the feathers,” said an idle member lof the com- millrc “You are doing it up brown," said a voice lo The operators flallerinnly. “Yes,” said one of the operators with a laugh, as he look hold of the hag of feathers and threw a handful on the prisoner’s back. "Pour them on,” suggested a spectator. “No, it's better lo pul them on in hand- fuls," said a voice, Messrs. Bird, Hughes, Boydon and Sam uel Johnson then took hold each of the end of tno long poles, which they placedso as to form an extempore St. Andrew’s cross. “Sit on there,” said one of them, I forgot who, lo the tarred and feathered person. “Why, they’re going to ride him on a mil,” said a voice beside me, “Serves the d replied Ins companion.” “He ought to be Jianged,” rejoined (he first voic “Tie's very right ]to do as he’s bid,” said a person near the prisoner, as Atkinson calm ly pul his legs over the poles and sal on the pan where they joined. The four citizens named, then raised him in the air—placing the end of the poles on their shoulders —and carried him through the street, which was thronged with people, down to the wharf and hack.

Ackroyed, of Burkinsbaw Bottom, in sinking a pit at Morley near Leeds, recently found a live frog in the centre of a large coal, two hundred and thirty feet below .the surface, considerably below the Morley tunnel, to which uis close adjoining. The frog is still very lively. When found it was very dark in color, but it is becoming like the common every-day species. The eyes of it are very bright, and surrounded with a gold ring, it has four claws on its fore feet and five (web footed) on the hind feel. Its mouth ij closed, or firmly shut, but it has two vents,- apparently nostrils, on the top of its nose. The seam of coal from which it was disinterred was saturated with water; and probably from this circumstance, com bined with close confinement, it has been en abled to sustain its half torpid life through countless ages. —Letdt {England) Mercury, Quite an extensile Indian war in now pre yailing ia Texas and on the Great Plains, and several bloody engagements have taken place between.the savages and U.

Your forcfallier seems to have exhausted the parent stock of Modesty, so it is not one of your tailings. So many limes a day you peep out from the by ways and contend masterly for a bad precedence in Hie highways, that one caunut possibly be 100 fa miliar with you. It giads us to see that the rising generation is not very unwilling lo mako a hasty bundle of alt the cures and responsibilities of practical life which have vexed and perplexed the gray.liaircd genera tion now tottering down Life’s decline, and to swing it upon shoulders not yet bent with less than six nor more than sixteen years of a rather uneventful life. Experience used lo be cried up as “the best teacher,’ but you have demonstrated tlie fallacy of that. You evince a precocious wisdom in kicking Experience out of the schoolhouse and installing Assurance in her stead. This is in harmony with the commonly received doctrine that, “it is belter lo be born wise, than to gain wisdom by every-day experienceand “it is more respectable to inherit, than it Is to ac quire.” To he willing , is a great tiling when it lias 7b be competent , for a backer. Of course you know all this without being told. It may be regarded as an evidence of unusual fil ial regard—this voluntary assumption of the rights and duties of muturcr age so early in life. This is but a supposition, of course. It is likewise pleasing to note that you occupy (he plane of successful com petition with y our progenitor in lire use, abuse and enjoyment of “all and singular," .the things (hat a past generation did not attain to until the down of adolescence had given place to the bristly moustache of manhood. This goes to show that Nature is al ways true to the great law of Adaptation.

Friend Bcardslce, of lire Woyne County proslave, ry pro-rum Herald, tales our version of the recent Democratic victory in Dial County, in high dudgeon. This is not right. If we magnified the victory be yond the credulity of the skeptical Ilowkin, let him reprove us with that Christian candor for which he is so celebrated, and not fall to calling names tike a lubberly schoolboy. Wo lake tliid occasion to assure our indignant riend that his estimate of the strength of the Re publican party in Tioga county would be hooted ol by men of his stripe in this section. Last fall the campaign was not made upon local issues in any in stance, while this fall no less than four minor issues contributed to distract the Republican forces. As fur Canal Commissioner, had Passmore Williamson been in the field he would have received not less than 2000 majority. This is notour privato estimate but that of men from all ports of the county,well ac quainted with Die stale of the public.mipd. . Alt. these things considered, the election of our entire Dekel by an average mojority of 400, this fall, is pencrally conceded by foes and friends to be a great er triumph than the average majority of 600 which elected our county ticket last fait. The aggregate vote this year fulls some 600 and upward below Dial of last year; and in every district where Die vole came up to Die last year's range, the Republican ticket was found to have gained aver last year. We assure our Wayne County friend that wo look with great pleasure upon the result of the campaign just closed. Our friend calls the Agitator a Know-Nothing sheet. He knows better and intended to lie when ho wrote it. This paper never was, is not,- end nev er will be the organ of a secret society.

MurviefT says: “A.i the beginning tlie attack was success ful, but the position and numbers of the ene my forced us towithdiaw. Nutwitbslanding this and a heavy loss, our troops took four teen banners and a star d of colors. The block ade of Kars is reestablished.” The account via Trebizond gives more particulars, and slates that the Russians were determined to raise the seige. It states that at one time the Russians succeeded in taking two. batteries, but before they had lime to turn round the guns, or even to spike them, the Turks rushed upon them with such vig. or ns to regain possession of the batteries, and decide the fortune of the day. The Russians, furiously repulsed, fell back upon their comrades, who were thrown into con fusion. The Turks then rushed out of the fortress and massacred an enormous num ber. This account states that, though a large nuber of killed and njounded Russians were removed, 4,000 were left dead under the wajls. Two hundred were taken prisoners, and pieces of ordnance captured. Several Rus-ian officers of high rank were killed wounded early in the action, which lasted eight hours. On the P4th Scpte inter, five days before this event, 4>poo mei of Omer Pasha’s ar my, sent to raise the teige of Kars by threat ening the Russian provinces of Abasia, Min grelia, Imerilia, Geor'ia, and Tiflis (the cap ital) landed at Sauceiim Kale, in Abasia.— Their active,operalio( s, however, it is under stood will be much re larded by the lateness of the season. Bnrning (bo Bond. A large portion of the community has been recently very much shocked by the attempt made by a Russian, residing in Milwaukee, to burn the corpse of his wife, according to the Eastern custom-, instead of giving it what is termed Christian burial. The funeral pyre was prepared, but, before the torch could be applied, the Sheriff and his posse interfered, and the consummation of the man’s design was prevented, he narrowly escaping lynch ing by the infuriated inhabitants.
