This last remark of the polite but reserv-

tor fell back a moment to take breath and
change his tactics. The half. suppressed
smile upon the faces of the other passengers
soon aroused the Yankee to still further
exertions, and summoning up more resolu-

Stranger, perhaps you are not aware
how almighty hard it is for Yankee to

Hung in EHigy Again.

Our citizens were yesterday morning present
ed with the spectacle of an effgy of DR.. Thomp-
son suspended by the meek. from the limb of a
tree on Main street. nearly opposite the Norvell
House, bearing this inscription:
DIR. Thompson the Woman-Killer"
1t had been placed there the night before. and
continued to hang all day.
We also learn that this notorious individual
has been hung ia efigy "a. both Lexington
and Christiansburg.
1t will thus be seen, that though he has escap
ed the punishment of the law, public sentiment
and the press are visiting the full measure of
their punishment upon him.

The force in the office ofthr Sixth Auditor and
