nJThe Evansville Journal says that city
is soon to be lighted with gas.
High time some kind Of enlightning pro-
cess should begin in that hitherto gas befog-
ged city, HutsonriHe Sen.
We are unable to appreciate the wit OF
sense of the above. In what way has Ey-
ansville been "a gas-befogged city," Is it
illustrated in the untiring energy and indus.
try of her citizens, who have in five years
elevated Evansville from mud village 10
one OF the first cities in the State! Is it ex-
hi bited in that spirit of enterprise and pro-
g ress which have urgedthem to build grea,
pub lie improvements, and sieze upon every.
thing calculated to advance the prosperity OF
their city. Is it in taxing themselves heavi-
y to build splendid wharf, and grade their
streets, illuminate the city assist in building
railroads, &c! IL these be illustrations of
"gas-befogged city or people, then we
hope both may continue "gas-befogged' til
the end of time. We are sorry our friend
of the Sentinel cannot better use the old Ev.
ansvile Journal Office types with which his
paper is printed. We certainly never laugh,
them such bad ways.

A member of a German Turner Associa-
ton just started in this city, thus speaks of
the objects of such societies:
"The objects of all Turner Associations
are-cultivating the powers of mind and
body, and preserving a brave, honest, manly
character, and mutual support in case Of sick
ness. While Turner'S generally are expect
ed to advocate the largest scope of freedom in
societies suffer any interference in theologi-
cal or religious questions, as an association.
The word "Turner" is not derived from the
French, but is an ancient word originated and
known in the German language" The
Turner Associations of this city meet twice
a week for physical exercise, and once a
week for mental exercise. They are under
full organization, but we shall speak OF them
as one association, as we hope they soon vii
be, their objects being the same.
A Gymnastic school for boys has beer
started under the patronage of the Turner's
as will be seen by advertisement. Severa
boys, sons of respectable citizens, have al
ready been placed in this school, and we hope
the example will be generally followed
We would certainly recommend a we'll con
Quoted school Of this kind 10 all who wisl
their boys taught manly accomplishments
and their health and growth secured by
strong ex ercise.

1t loses none of its beauty by association with
his music. The other song, "Sweet Alice in

its title. Mr.. Currie, has just received these
songs with other music, which he will be
happy to show to the ladies, at his rooms in

The st. Louis News gives an account of
the burning of negro at the stake few
days since by the citizens of Pettis county,
No., for the murder, under circumstances of
horrible atrocity, of Mrs. Rains.
A meeting of the citizens also gave warn
ing to Mr.. France, the owner of the Negro,
to leave the county in ten and the State in
thirty days, for the reason of, besides many
other outrages, having corrupted his negroes
by unchaste conversation, and thus tempting
them to the commission of murder and rape.
We think, if the citizens of Missouri find it
necessary to resort TO lynch law, they should
adopt some mode of punishment, which would
not prove the ministers of such summary JUS
tice worse than savages. The idea of coolly
and deliberately roasting human being
over slow fire, is species of barbarism
and cruelty, too inhuman for civilized coun-
try.
