"A rumor of most terrible and unhappy
character is rife in this city. A man in Han
over is SAID to have murdered one of his ne
groes under circumstances almost too horri-
BILE TO relnte. He tied him up in the morn
ing, and whipped, beat and tortured the poor
wretch without intermission save at meal
time through the live long day. He burnt
off various parts of his body with fire and
otherwise tortured him as we before said, i'll
modes too horrible to be mentioned. The
sereeehfng brought many persons to the
place, but the master stood by with two re-
~volvers, and threatened TO shoot any one that
interfered. The negro was not taken down
until near sunset, and then only because he
was-dead! The creature who is said TO
have done this, has been imprisoned"

in the Court House while the jury was being
%empanneled to try the murder case, removed
from MHenry to this county, that there was
great difficulty in finding n sufficient number
of men who did not entertain conscientious
scruples upon the subject of Capital Punish
ment, to complete the panel. Thus the work
of progress silently but steadily goes on, and
ere long it will have forced out of our stat
ute books those distigurements which a bar
barous age has engrafted upon our c~iviliza-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.
