LYNCHERS LYNCHED.
Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 6, 1886.
Our city is excited with the occurrences
OF the last few days, especially of the last
night There are many differing relations
of the facts in the case.
1t appears that party of from six TO n
dozen persons, proceeded to the House of
Judge Bermudez last night about nine or
ten o'clock, as it is supposed, for the pur-
pose OF assaulting the Judge When the
Judge, and some one or two friends within.
were apprised Of their entering or wish to
enter his house, the Judge appeared with
those within, armed with pistols, and dirks,
and swords, and in the afIray three young
men of those without, were stabbed, and
two died almost instantly the other has
died since, it is reported this morning. The
Judge lost two fingers in the affray.
This horrd affair grew out of the case
ana trial OF Giquel This young man had
killed Mr. Brux, week ago, and a con.
siderable excitement prevailed during his
trml Tor bail He was committed by JUDGE
Prevail, and then brought before Judge Der.
mudez, on writ of habeas corpus, and bv
him admitted TO bail. AS this decision be-.
came known, excitement prevailed in the
community generally and among the friends
OF Mr.. Brux particularly: and this, it seems,
is what brought out the friends of Brux last
night and their object was, as il is supposed
TO assault or Lynch the Judge. The feel.
ing oil the community appears to be opposed
TO the Judge; | know not whether Justly or
not. But they generally think that Giguel
was bad fellow. 1t is reported that he
whipped little orphan boy to death, few
weeks ago, for some trfling offence.
The names of the young men killed, were
John q. Eagan, John Baily, Jr of New
7 ork' and the others. name is as yet un-
known to me. They are said 10 be of our
most respectable young men.

SAGAcITY OF HIoRsE-At the sitting
Of the committee of Plymouth and lamar
Humane Society in this town, on Wrdnes-
day last, a singular instance Of brute saga
city or instinct, call it what You may, was
brought before the meeting in connection
with case in which a mans life has been
preserved by two other persons going to his
rescue in damaged boat 1t appeared that
man was driving cart, loaded with lime,
from the kiln near Deadman's bay. Coxside,
and the lime SET fire TO the cart. The man,
TO save his property, with great promptitude
tilted the lime into the road, and FASTENED
back TO the beach TO Deadman's bay where
he drove his horse into the water TO extin-
gulsh the flames, but the cart coming into
contact with heap OF stones lying under
the water, turned over and precipitated the
driver into the sea. A man and boy see
ing the accident, instantly put of in an old
leaky boat standing on the shore but when
they arrived at the spot, the driver had just
sunk for the third time Neither of the
parties could swim, but the man in the boa,
seeing the body about three feet under wa
ter, with great presence of mind fixed his
feet under the thwart, and BY throwing his
arms and shoulders over, succeeded in
catching the poor fellow by The hair of his
head, and held upon him while the boy
sculled ashore, the boat by this time being
nearly full Of water. Meanwhile the horse,
in his alarm, had made seaward with the
cart, and he was given up for lost, when,
strange as IL may seem, another horse stand
ing on the beach, with harness on. who had
been aitentively surveying the scene, plunged
into the water and made after his friend in
distress, whom he soon overlook, and apply
ing his mouth 10 the affrighted animals
ears he seemed 10 whisper something; he
then turned about neighlng loudly to en-
courage his companion, when the latter also
turned and followed his gallant leader to the
beach, where they both arrived in safety
The mao and boy Were rewarded by the
committee with los each for their noble and
spirited conduct Western Lumiaary.

One farmer Potter, Of the parish of Bow,
in Devonshire, a man much inclined to sot-
tshness, having occasion TO sell yoke of
oxen, drove them TO a creditor fair, about
six or seven miles distant; and meeting with
a good fair entertainment and jovial compan.
ions, he was nightly in his element, and
did not cry to go home, but tarred there
some weeks. singing the songs Of the drunk
ard, until at last he was disposed to set out
for Bow, and taking his landlord with him,
they soon arrived at the farmers house,
where he expected 10 meet with warm re-
ception from his wife; but the good woman
had formed better resolution. Upon the
sight OF his wife, who came 10 the door, he
accosted her with-"So, Grace am return

my dear you are very welcome" But"
said he, II have brought another man with

of his wife Grace, told her. with tears in his
eyes, he would never do so any more, and
declared her his darling and the best OF wo-
men and from thence lived temperate and
happy with Dame Grace TO the day of his
death But had she stormed in the manner
too many women are wont to do on such
occasions, there is the greatest probability in
the world he would have pursued his vicious
course Of life, and brought down poor Dame
Grace's hairs in sorrow to the grave.

SINGULAR CoINcIDENcE.-We have this
moment conversed with one Of our old mcr-
chants, who short time since received a
letter from a brother-in-law, whom he has
not seen or before heard of for twenty-sx
years. The letter solicited information in
regard 10 a son, who had been absent and
unheard of for thirty years. The gentle
man 10 whom this letter was addressed is
the uncle of the absent son. Like the father,
he bad not heard of his nephew for about
the same period Of time. Strange as it may
seem, the very next day after one brother-in-
law had received the letter from his distant
brother, another letter came from ihe son.

in regard TO his father So much for the
singuarty of the coincidence, and now for
the manner in which it was brought about
The son, who was wise enough to take
newspaper, upon opening it one morning,
discovered his uncIes name among the
mercantile advertisements. Immediately
the uncle in New York transferred his
brothers. letter 10 his nephew, which gave
the two all necessary information in regard
TO themselves, absence, &c This story is
true TO the letter. and were il necessary, we
could give the names of the parties. The
advantage of taking newspaper, and adj

demanded the officer, in great surprise.
Took her keel of, cut it in two parts, and
put it in the hold and as for the mast. we
unshipped that and put it on the larboard
side of the deck. Came straight through
the canal, without scraping the copper off
her bottom" And what tonnage are youf
why, do you see, when we started we near
about measured ten tons; but when we got
the other side of the big cut in your ditch,
we lay'to near about a month, cut her in
two, and spliced in, guess about five tons
