AN INNOCENT MAN HUNG BY A MOB.


Under This caption the Paris (Mo.) Mercury
narrates some curious particulars connected with
mob lac. Some years since, Mr.. James Barnes, son
Of Aquilla Barnes, OF Missouri, was hung by mob
in Arkansas, because he was suspected of having
murdered the Wright family" in one Of the
counties Of that State. Barnes 10 the very last
asserted his innocence, but the mob were nexor-
able and he was hanged by them. II now appears
from a statement in the Van Buren, (Ark.) Intel
lgencer, that the real murderers have been found,
and are in confinement at Fayetteville, in that
State.--There are three Of theiu by the names of
Star and Reese, and they are said to have fire.
quently boosted Of the crime: they will be con-
victed. il said, on the testimony of many Witness
es to these confessions. But their conviction will
not restore the innocent man TO life, nor save his
murderers from the sings of remorsc for so cruel
act The editor OF the Mercury says that the
news of Barnes innocence is truly gratifying to
him--"for we personally knew Aquila Barnes,
and the Barnes family, twenty years ago, at Old
Franklin, Howard county, Mo. His father,
grandfather, and unclrs, were men Of high stand
ing and responsibility, many of them exemplary
members OF the Church of Jesus Christ. How
painful i: must have been to his father and mother,
the wife of his bosom, with her helpless babes,
and his relatives, to be thus deprived of his soce-
~, and 10 think, TOO, that mob hung him with
out Judge or jury, under the charge of murder
thus blasting his fame, and putting a stain upon
his poor hule children, his unoiiending wife, |
his aged father and mother, together with his |
brothers and sisters, his friends and relatives

MIR. CLAY AND HIS REvILERs.

1t is a fact worthy of notice (says an ex
change paper that most OF the able aud re-
spectacle Loco Foco papers, altho' opposed
to Mr.. Clay's election, speak Of him With the
highes, respect, while all miserable end stupid
editors assail him with the malignity of vipers
There are some lines CT DR.. Holmcs that APP

..Thc feeble sea birds, blinded in the storms.
On some tall lighthouse dash their little forms;
And the rude granite scattcrs for their pains,
Those small deposites which were meant for brains,

Stands all unconscious OF the mischief done;
Still the red beacon pours its evening rays.

Nay, shines all radiance DER thc scattered foct

LATE FROM MEXICO.

An arrival at New Orleans furnishes advfcei
from Vera Cruz to the 9TH ultino and from
Mexico to the 2sth of June. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Bee
The Mexican Congress was still occupied in
discussing the proposals OF the government for
loan of money and levy of soldiers The first
demand for loan Of 81 ,O0O, Goo and an army OF
10000 men had been rejected, but new proposals
had been made. and the final vote had not been
taken at the last &C counts. 1t seems that the
news Of the ejectiol of the Treaty of Annexa-
ton by the U. 5. Senate, had somewhat cooled
the ardor OF the Mexican Congress- The menu.
bers believe that an invasion of Texas will not
require $4,000 Tlen and $1,000, 900. From the
tone OF the papers, however, we feel certain that
congress WI not adjourn without voting the
supplies which may be deemed necessary.
Upon the receipt of the intelligence of the
transportation of U S. troops To the Texan from.
tier, the Mexican government asked of the u. S.
Charge d 'AtlAres, Mr. B. Il. Green whether the
troops TO be sent by Mexico against Texas would
be attacked by the United States forces. MIR.
Green replied that having received no instruc-
tions IRON his government, he could no! answer
the question categorcally, but that as the Next
can Government had declared that Annexation
would be considered declaration Of war, it was
probable that, on submitting the treaty TO the Se-
nate, the President had conceived it his duty 10
despatch troops to the frontiers as a measure OF
precautlon.

SWALLOWING THE EVIDENCE.

Sailors are proverbially grumblers, and even
when well treated are very apt 10 find fault.
Their provisions good or bad, and sometimes they
are bad enough in all conscience, furnish ever
lasting subject Of complaint; they never so
good as they were ''last voyage" We lately
met with anecdoe of Judge Peters, of Phi!a-
delnpia, which having bearing on this subject is
too good 10 DO lost
Complaint was made the Judge i'm behalf of

some port in Russia tina, they had been furnished
with bad provisions. While the counsel for the

honor specimen OF their fare. 10 persons ac-
custoined to fine wheaton loaves it appeared dis
gusting indeed, and the bystanders, one and all,
cried shame 10 ill mems stomachs with such un-
wholesome aiment.
The Judge applied the bread to his nose, and
finding nothing in il offensive TO his olfactory
nerves, was tempted 10 taste il; he nibbled lit
tie piece, it tasted WELL and he took large bite
The counsel proceeded at much length, though
The diDner hour was fast approaching. and, as he
rounded the periods, the Judge nibbled around
the black biscuit until none remained. At this
moment The sailor stepped up, and with conn-
tenance lii which was depicted real distress, said,

Beautiful aPologue.-A shepherd was
mourning over the death OF his lavorite child.
and in the passionate and rebellious feeling of
his heart was bitterly complaining that what
he loved most tenderly, and was in itself most
lovely, had been taken from him. Suddenly
a stranger of grave and venerable appearance
stood before him, and beckoned him forth in
to the field. 1t WAS night, and not a word was
spoken till they arrived a! the fold, when the
stranger thus addressed him
"When you select one Of these lambs from
the flock, you choose tine best and most beau
nlul among them. Why should you murmur
because 7, the good shephered of the sheep,
have selected from those which you have
nourished for me, the one that was most fitted
for my eternal fold"

A CuaiosiTY.- learn that gentleman of
this city, recently returned from Europe, has
brought with him canary bird, the gift of a
friend, which distinctly sings two airs--the Hun
ter's Chorus in Der Frcghurlz and a Waltz OF
Beethoven's. This woadeTul little cantalrice
was Instructed by blind flute player, and one of
its other accomplishments is said 10 be beating
time with It's foot while singing. Instances OF
birds being taught few bars of very simple
melody are not uncommon, but cultivation 10 the
point which this Canary has reached must be en-
ceejingly rare.
The Mocking bird would doubtless be more
apt pupil than any other. Its natural ear is GER
tainly quicker. and It's vocal power more versatile.
The secret of teaching bird to sing an air con-
siss in playing the first notes over and over again
upon some instrument agreeable to the bird, taking
care TO suit the pitch exactly to the learners Ca
paciiy.-When these notes are successfully inita-
ted, The lesson proceeds with few following, and
so on to the end.-A vast amount of patience is
requisite to accomplish. the object. We knew a
gentleman in this city few years ago, who had
thus taught bird to sing The first part of popular
