VAN buren,, Arkansas, July 81, 1889.

Messrs. Editors We have just received
information of the execution of three Of the
murderers of the Wright family, in Washing
ton county. in this State. They were hung
at Cane Hill which is about 35 miles from this
place, and fIom the Cherokee nation. They
had been formerly tried and acquitted for want
of evidence but since then taken up, and be-
fore a jury of 80 men found guilty Of the muir
der of Wright and his family, and burning the
house and the mutilated remains of this ur--
fortunate family IN che house. There were
many others concerned, and two OF the princi::
pal are Bailey, who is gone to Texas, and
Nicholson, who is in the nation. Several 9th.
ere, whose names / forget, have been told to
quit the place in 10 days, and not to be seen
within 200 miles afterward, under penalty Of
of being served as those who were hung, (viz.
Rchamond, Turner and Barnes) The rea.
son for not con6ning them is said to be. that
such characters had pulled down the jail, and
there was no place to confine them without a
certainty of their being released by their com.

aALvANIc EXPERIMENT.

The body of man who had been hung in
New York was subjected soon after to gal
vanic experiments the results Of which are
stated in the North American as follows.
At2 O'Clock he was taken down and con.
veyed to another part of the Prison, where
number Of the Medical Faculty were assem-.
bled to witness the experiments OF galvanism
upon his body, under the direction Of DR.. klaPp
Physician of the prison. -. D.
These experiments were performed BY Drs.
Homer and Mitchell aided by Dr.. Hare, a
full and accurate account of which will be pub
lisbed in the Electeric Journal Of Medicine for
September, edited by DR.. Bell who was pres
ent.
This battery was one Of the most powerful
ever used in this country, and every thing con-
nected with it had been arranged with the
greatest care, important results were conf.
IDENTIFY expected from the experiments to be
made with it.
Upon first applying galvanic power to the
surface of the body, natural respiration was
produced, with the usual audible sounds ac.-
companying it. and upon after examin ation'
several phys clans present were OF opinion
that if the body had been obtained ten minutes
sooner, and freely blsd, with the application
Of the galvanic power, it could have been re-
stored to life. The application Of the battery
to incised parts OF the body and the nerves,
appeared not to be more powerful, (if as much
sol as the outer skin.
Sparks Of electricity from the galvanic bat
terry, perceptible to all present, were discharged
upon the body several times during the ex.
periments, which several medical men present
informed Us that they had never witnessed be-
fore, in similar applications.
When galyanic influence was directed to
the extremities thare was strong muscular
-eontortion produced. but nothing equal to what
has been frequently witnessed IN other instan-
ces. The arms were raised and thrown over
the chest. and the fingers contacted and ex-
handed. but with none of that violence that
has been looked for. When the force Of the
battery was applied to the face, all the mus"
cles in that region were thrown into action,
but even here the effect was not very striking.
electromagnetic was also applied bu. with.
out success, as no sensible impression was ex-
hibited.
t1pon an examination Of the neck, It was
found that it had no been dislocated IN the fall
which was three feet, Tor had the spinal mar:
row received any injury.-He therefore died
from strangulation, which gave cause for the
opinion above expressed. that his body could
have been restored to life if obtained few
minutes sooner.
His BODY was much emaciated, and upor
examining his lungs, several large tubeFees
were found, the effects of which would soon
have ended his days in natural manner.

HORRID MASSACREE.

fw0 HUNDRED AND TWENTY INDIANS KILLED.
We learn from Governor Lucas and anoth'

lone last evening, that two hundred and TWEEN.
ty indians were killed in the upper country
about the LIST inst. The facts as they were
related by young gentleman who was at tbs
treaty, are as follows The Sioux had invited
the Cmppewas to meet them at st. Peters, TOT
the purpose of making treaty of everlasting
friendship. The Chippewas assembled ac.
cordingly-the pipe of peace was smoked
and they parted apparently good friends. q
large party of the Chippewas was encamped
at She Falls Of st. Anthony, and smallef
party encamped on the St Croix, on their way
home, without the least suspiciop Of treacbety
on slas part 81 tbe Sioux. While they wefc
thus peaceably encamped, they were surprised
by the Sioux, who commenced their butcherg.
They Immediately rallied, but before the bat.
tie terminated, the Chippewas lost one hun
dred and fifty at the Falls and twenty on the
St. Croix. The number OF the Sioux killed on
the occasion amounted to about fifty We do
not much wonder at the hostility that'has been
exhibited by the Sauks and Foxes against the
Sioux. if this latter tribe has always been as
treacherous as they were on he above occa'
sion. [Towa Patriot.

A writer in the Genesee Farmer states that he
last spr ng planted cuttings from both the Alpine

of the trees, roots and all. in the ground. The
trees put forth sprouts from nearly every bud'
which are growing we'll, but altough the cut
tings sproated, they have since nearly all died.
This fact, corroborated by others known to
ourselves, seems to prove that other varieties
of the mulberry do not succeed like the multicau.

they succeed badly.
