was honored in this place with the oust°•
mary observance on the part of our citi
lens. The stores, manufactories and work
shops were closed, and business of all .
kinds, for the most part, suspended. Reli
gious services were observed by a union of
the German Reformed, Presbyterian, Me
thodist and Baptists in the morning in the
Presbyterian church, and at night in the
Methodist church. The attendance was
large.
Two Pwisosicas ESCAPED.—Two of the
prisoners who were sentenoed by the Court
at its last session, to a term in the peniten
tiary, escaped on Friday night last. They
were named George Smith and John Am
brose; the former was the man who rob
bed the Spruce Creek warehouse ; the
latter broke into a store at the same place.
They effected their escape by means of a
key, which they had made. They are
still at large. though $lOO have been of

Rogues about agam,--On Monday night
a flock of ten geese were stolen from
Mr. George Thomas.
Ilir'During the sitting of our Court on
the 15th inst., William A. McGtilliard,
Esq., after passing a creditable examina
tion, was duly admitted to practice as an
Attorney in the several Courts of Hun

THE RAILROAD SAFE ROBBERS ARREM
TED.—A few days ago the boss painter in
the railroad shops at Ft. Wayne, named
Rivera, was arrested charged with being
concerned in the late robbery of the Rail
road safe, at that place, of a large amount
of money, as has been heretofore announ
ced by telegraph. Twelve thousand dol
lars of the money was recovered. He at
so implicated a German named Chrest,
who being arrested, delivered up $5,000
of the stolen money. The valuable pa
pers, tickets, &c., that had been stolen,
were found in a corner of a fence, in the
the field in which the prisoners had hid
the money. Both burglars are now in
jell at Ft. Wayne.
Worth more than the Presides ey.--The
California papers state that the Supreme
Court of that State unanimously concur
in giving Col. Fremont possession of the
Josephine vein on his Mariposa estate.—
In Biddle Bogg's case in which Col. Fre
mont's right to the gold on his lands was
questioned, it is understood that the Su
preme Court of California will give a de
cision fully sustaining Col. Fremont's
claim as the rightfnl owner of all the gold
on his territory. Thus Col. Fremont, if
he did not win the Presidency, will be en
tirely victorious in sustaining his exclusive
right to, undoubtedly, the most valuable
property in Ole world.

Terrible Tornado—Loss of Life.
A terrible tornado occurred, in East Nils
sissippi, on the nights of the 29th and 30th
ult. The Mobile Mercury has the follow
ing particulars of its destruction of huntan
life:
That of Tuesday night occurred about
4 o'clock, P, M., and passed through the
western portion of Jasper county. In its
coarse it struck the plantatation of Josiah
Moody, and the report that reaches us is
that every house was swept completely
away and the fragments scattered far along
the whirlwind's path, and with them al
most the entire families swept into eterni
ty. Of thirteen persons who were in
the house at the time, the lifeless and man
gled bodies of nine were picked up by the
neighbors who assembled the next morning
Some of these were carried a groat dis
tance along its track, by the awful power
of the storm. Two others. the wife of Mr
Moody and his little daughter, were found
alive, but so severely wounded that no
hope was entertained of their recovery.
But on• of Mr. Moody's family, a little
girl, escaped, who is expected to survive,
but with considerable injuries. A man
who seems not to have belonged to the fern
ily but was staying there, escaped with
so little injury that at daylight he was a
ble 'o proceed to the house of Mr. Dickin
son, who lived the nearest by, with his sad
message of death and destruction, and in
quest of assistance. There he found the
houses all blown down, but uo one killed.
Mr. Dickinson's house being just upon
the verge of the storm and not receiving
its full force. The neighbors gathered to
the scene es fast as the news spread, and
after search found all the missing—the
nine dead and two supposed to be mortally
wounded, as stated above. A sou of the
old man, with a young wife and infant, had
arrived en a visit to his father's father's on the
evening before. They were all lost. Of 1
the further progress and ravages of that
tornado we have heard nothing, but tear it
is not all told. On the next (Wednesday)
night a hurricane passed through a portion
of Clarke and Lauderdale counties. It
seemed to have 'teen less violent, but not
unattended with loss of Ilfe. We hear of
the death of a negro belonging to a Mr.
Brewster in Lauderdale county.
THE ALLEGHENY BONDS.
Pennsylvania requiring Lie commissioners
of Allegheny county to levy a tax for the
purpose of paying interest on the railroad
bonds, has caused some excitement in that
community, where a contrary decision was
hoped for, if not expected. Some of the
property holders threaten resistance to the
decree. Thu Pittsburg Dispatch says
that two members of the Board of County
Commissioners are pledged to disobey the
mandate of the Court, and continues :
“What the result be we are unable
to predict. Wore the people of Allegheny
county the whole State, we should say the
tax would not be paid; but they are but the
twentieth part,. while the United States
Government is bound to sustain the Exec.
utive in enforceing the laws of the State
and the decrees of its courts against any
rebellion or insurrection. Under these
circumstances, it is nonsense to tal k of
armed resistance as likely to ridour people
of the burdens complained of, grievous
'though they may be. The property-hold.
er dreads taxation much, hut he dreads
anarchy more„ and will closely calculate
whether armed, or even an unarmed, re
sistance to what has been decided to he the
law--the -shooting of tax collectors,' and
other remedies now proposed, are not
'worse than the disease;' whether such a
course, by pl urging a community into an
archy and staining our soil with blood
not only render life unsafe, but depreci. ,
ate the value of property to a much great
er extent than the imposition of such a
tax, however unjust or h owever hard to be
borne."
This is certainly the most sensible view
of the case. An indignant correspondent
of the Gazette relieves his excited feelings
by attacking the opinion of the Court, and
declaring that he won't submit. "•As de•
scendants of those who wrung from King
John the immortal Magda Charts, we de.
mead a jury trial," says he. Well, they
have got a jury decision in the United Sta
tes District Court, sitting in Pittsburg,
wherein a verdict has been obtained against
the county of Washington, establishing
the liability of that county for certain bonds
i issued in payment of a subscription to the
Hempfield Railroad, Judge Gates. in his
charge to the jury, said the law authori
zing municipal subscriptions was constitu
tional; it had so been declared by the Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania, and he must
take their decision as law. In accordance
with his instructions the jury found a ver.
diet for plaintiff• The repudiators thus
have a jury decision, but it does not help
their case.

A LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY.
Two Men Elting—one Suicide.
Some eighteen months since a wealthy
farmer of Kentucky, living near Camp
bellsville, was murdered and robbed of be
tween $5,000 and $6,000 by parties who
entered his house at midnight, and accoin-
/dished die double deed while he was sound
ly alee7jpg in his bed. Mr. Simpson was
wealthy and highly respectable, and of
coutse the cowardly murder caused a great
excitement in his community. Soon after
the guilty culprits were discov red and
arrated, and an attempt . was made by the
populace to hang them, which was frus.
traced. Afterward they were token from
the jail at Russellville to that at Greens•
burg. Now the second awful tragedy
: opens on the 10th (Wednesday last,) as
Ireported to The Louisville Journal of the
!Nth.
This morning, according to a previous
understanding, men from this and the ad
joining counties commenced gathering at
this place, and at an early hour took up
their march to Greensburg, meeting with
accessions at different points along the
road until the crowd numbered two or
three hundred men, including a cousidera-
Ws number of spectators. The mob
proceeded to the jail, which is built of stone
and very strong, and found the door s '
locked and the jailor gone. A number of
men immediately seized a large portion of
heavy timber, and, with several tremen
dous blows, bursted the door from its hin
gee. An inner door was speedily broken
with crow-bars sledge-hammers, and a por-
tion of the mob stood in the debtor's room
fronting the cells in which the miserable
men were confined. The locks of the
cell doors were broken and the doors pri.
ed open, when a roost horrid and sicken
ing and revolting sight met the gaze of
those present.
One of the men, Elias Scaggs, a man
weighing two hundred pounds, was found
weltertng in a large pool of blood spirting I
from a ghactly and self-inflicted wound in
the neck, having with a razor cut his
throat from ear to ear. Hia body, con
vulsod in death, was dragged into the
debtor's room, and from thence down a
' flight of steps on to the street paving.—
The remaining three men, viz Bill Saul
Thompson, Sloan Despono and George
Hunter, were.then brought from the jail,
bound and mounted behind men on horse
back, when the crowd, in double file,
amid throngs of spectators, took up their
return march to
ur this pl wnaceAn a distance of
uingi two to
miserable men displayed considerable.
firmness, asserting their innocence in the
most positive terms. Thompson wept
and prayed audibly a good part of the
way, calling on all to witness his inno
cence. The crowd having arrived at the
place, determined to lynch Beko also, a
negro, belonging to the murdered man,
who had been implicated by Scruggs as the
real murderer.
At this juncture, amid the yellings and
howlings of the crowed, the expostulations
of the Sheriff and our excellent jailor, and
"amid confussion worse ~ confounded,"
Robert Colvin, esq., a prominent and in
fluential citizen, having succeeded in
gaining an elevated posaion awl in catch
ing the ear of the crowd, addressed it in
a abort speech, which, for point, appro
priateness and goad sense, I have hardly I
ever heard excelled; and it was as effectu
al as it was sensible, for atter en unsuccess
ful effort of one or two inex z wrienced orn.
tors, the mob left the negro in jail ant , con
ducted the three men a short distance to
an elm tree, and began making prepara
tions to hang them. At 'Phompcon's re
quest a prayer was offered to their behalf,
he praying and weeping aloud during the
time. Ho was then mounted on a horse,
and after again asserting his innocence for
the last time, a rope was put about his
neck, the end thrown over a limb, the
horse driven from under, and Thompson
was launched into eternity. He seemed to
die easy—one or two spasmodic jerkings
of the limbs, a shudder, and all was
over.
Despano soon shared a similar fate, dy
ing much harder. At this stage Hunter
gave evidence of making a clean breast.
after some delay and a goon deal of reluc
tance he did, conleaeing to the guilt of
Scaggs, Thompson Hunter, and implica
ting five others as being concerned in the
murder. Teir names are as follows :
Henry Scragge, Jerry Scraggs, Lloyd Mc-
Daniel, John Underwooa, and a son-in-law
of Sympson, the latter is under arrest,
but in, I belive, generally considered in
nocent, The Sheriff with a posses, is out
to-night to arrest the others. Beko was
also implicated by Hunter, and brought
forth, and the two confronted. Nothing
of importance was elicited, and they were
both taken to jail—both of them making a
narrow escape .

Suicides in November.
The popular notion that more suicides
are committed in the month of November,
than at any other period of the year is
founded on erroneous data. Taking the
average number of suicides i n each month
from the years 1817 to 1826, it was as fol
lows :
January,
February,
March,
April
,
May,.
June,
July.
August,
September,
October,
November,
D.cember,
8133
Total
It has been clearly established that in
all the European capitals, where anything
like correct data can be obtained, the max- i
imnm of suicides is in the months of June
and July, and the minimum in October
and November. It appears from this, that
the disposition has most to do with high
temperature ; fot it has been proved that
when the thermometer of Fahrenheit ran
ges from 80 to 00 degrees, suicide be
comes More prevalent.—Winslow.
THE DEATII OF A Kansas PRO SLAVERY
MAN .--TllB Lawrence correspondent of

dead rrear his residence, in Western Mis-1
souri, a few weeks since. He was killed
Ly some person or persons unknown.--•-
The avenge of poor Brown has been on
his track for some time, waiting for a fa
vorable opportunity to punish him In a
a summary manner, and at last succeed.
White was a member of the territorial le
gislature in 1857 and during the session
made a speech, in which he pub:icly boas
ted and "thanked God as a minister, that
lie killed the Abolitionist Brown." Ile
