Phenomenon.-On Friday afternoon, just
after the time of high water, sudden and
unusual elevation of the tide was noticed in
the northern part of this harbor, followed by
ns rapid depression-the cause Of which
remains unexplained. 1t was remarked
that in less than ten minutes, the water rose
perpendicularly two feet; and sunk again
I'm about the same space of time. Upon
some parts of the beach, presenting but a
gentle slope, the tide extended some forty or
fifty feet beyond high water mark. The
weather was remarkably mild, there was
very little wind, and there had been no very
recent storms. During the progress of the
above phenomenon, thick cloud arose in
the northeast, and the wind suddenly
changed to that point from the West; but
as quickly returned when the water fell to
its original level. In the evening there was
moderate shower, with some thunder and
lie h,ing, though the air was qnite close and
sultry. Will any one favor us with an ex-

Another Operation Of Lynek Law. A
correspondent Of the Newark Daily Adver-
tiser gives an account Of another disgrace
ful outrage committed in Georgia, upon a
young man belonging TO New-Jersey, on
the supposition that he was an emissary Of
the abolitionists. The following is an Off
cial account of the trial.
At meeting Of the citizens of HILLSIDE
rough. Geo. on the Slh June. 1896, Cuth-
bert Reese, ESQ. was appointed chairman,
and DR.. r. A. T. Ridley, Secretary. Will
liam Phillips, Esq. having stated the object
of the meeting, committee was sent for
DR.. b. X. Thomas, who was said 10 be in
possession of facts to confirm the intelli-
gence that Kitchell had beeu holding COM
munication with the black population. DIR.
Thomas accordingly came forward and
confirmed the statements set forth in the
letters. Kitchell was then taken and ex-
amined, and failing TO gipe any satisfactory
account of himsslf, on motion of Col. +. N.
White, the following committee Of IL was
appointed 10 report a course of proceeding,
viz :-Isaac II. T.Moreiand, William Phillips
wilkins Jackson DR.. r. c. Clayton,
Thos. J. Smith, Col. White, Joseph G.
White, Major Weekes, A. Alexander, John
G. Morris, E. c. Butt, james Johnson, Esq.
The Committee retired, and after deli
beration made the following report, which
was unanimously adopted, viz:
The committee to whom was referred the
case of the Rev. A. w. Kitchell, report
That upon examination, they find sundry
certificates and other papers of suspicious
and spurious character, and have thought
proper to retain the same in the hands of
the secretary until farther information Is OBJ
tanned concerning them.
The committee would advise that the
said Kitchell should be rode around the vii
lage on rail with band Of music, playing
the Rogue's March-that his head should
then be tarred and teathered, and again
rode round the village as betore--that he
should also leave this State within ten days
from this time, under the penalty of Lynch's
Law.
Upon motion, it was resOlUed, That the
proceedings of this meeting be published in
the public gazettes Of Milledgevile, with a
request that they be re.published in all
papers opposed to the iend-like purposes
of The Northern Abolitionists.
CUTHBERT REESE, Chairman.
ROBERT A. II. RIDLEY, Secretary.
The recommendation of the committee
was Immediately carried into execution !;
after which the young man was permitted
to depart. The Newark Advertiser states
that Kitchell is ga member Of one of the
most respectable families in the State of
New-Jersey: graduate of Princeton Col
lege; licentiate of the theological semina-
ry, and young man of distinguished worth !;
amable, unassumiDg, and we hesitate not
to believe, UNOFFENDING."
