Lynch Law in wisconsin.

BUFFALO. July 16.-We have full
account of the hanging ofthe man May
berry by mob at GAINESVILLE. Wiscon-
sin, last week. 1t appears that the
prisoner had been found guilty by Judge
Doolittle, but the law only prescribes
imprisonment for life. The sheriff un-
dertook to remove the prisoner from the
courthouse, toithe Jail, but he with his
posse, had scarcely got out of the court.
house when the cry arose, chang him ~
The officers were then completely over
powered by the crowd, the prisoner
seized rope placed around his neck,
and notwithstanding his awful shrieks
and prayers they dragged him to clus-
ter oftrees and hung him till dead. A
band of three hundred men had been
organized to execute the deed. The
greatest excitement pervaded Rock
river for over one hundred miles.

The Sag NIGHTS papers are cackling loudly
over the fact that James b. Clay, son of
Henry Clay, has made an an,i-American
speech. The Louisville Journal, in the an

young gentleman who tore down the old man
sion of his immortal father, instead of leav-

future generations) has made very violent
speech against the American party.

The MormonS-Th Louisville Jour
nal closes long article on this subject
thus;
Tho Mormons will yet prove source
of great annoyance to the people of the
States. They are hostile to our peopl 6
and our institutions, and the book before
us intimates thatthat hostility manifests
itself in acts of violence and blood, aud
that those Mormons disguised as Indians
not unfrequently rob and murder emil
grants. 1t is not unlikely that the Nor
mons will endeavor to make friends of
the Indians, so as to turn them against
any armed force that it may become
necessary in the process of time for us to
send against. 1t is not likely that the
Mormon leaders desire to have Utah in
corporated into the Federal Union
Such course Would be inconsistent
with the theocratic nature of the govern
ment they have inaugurated, and fatal
to the power and ambitious views of
Brigham Young"

combination Of speeulators.

We publish the following paragraphs
to show our readers what heartless
spectators would do if they could
They are q little too late, however,
They should have combined to prevent
the farmers from sowing so mu CHI grain
--or to bring on drought-or to raise
crop of weevils to destroy it Wheat
is down now low enough to keep poor
folks from starving, and spectators had
better stand from under!
The Combination amongst Produce Dealers.
Not long since. we published an ar
ticle from the New York Journal of
Commerce. stating that convention Of
produce dealers had been held in Buffa-
10, at which measures were adopted cal.
culated to keep up the price of bread
stuffs as long as possible, for the purpose
of enabling them to dispose oftheir SUR
plus. Tho article was not generally
credited. But it is fully confirmed by
the Buffalo Republic ofSaturday, which
asserts upon reliable authority, that such
meeting was actually held there few
days prior to the first Of July, which was
attended by dealers from various points
from Chicago to New York. The par
ties it is understood control about three
fourths Of all the flour and grain now in
store awaiting shipment and in transitu
from the western granaries to the east
ern markets. The object of their meet
ing was to combine i'm order to keen
up the present price until the latest pos
sible moment.
=. S.-Since the above was in type,
we have received additional information
which settles the question emphaticaiiy.
The convention was held at Clarendon,
and was quite numerously attended. -
The combination went into operation
early last week, and had the effect to i'm
mediately check the downward tenden-
cy OF prices, which had become alarm
ing, and to cause them again to go up
! ward. Purchases to considerable OK
tent. were also made by those in the
street, and several unsuspecting outsid-
ers in this vicinity were victimized.-
Large quantities of -four were ordered
into store, and corn in the face Of de.
cline of As. Cd. sterling in the English
market, maintained its buoyancy at an
! advance. 1t is not difficult to account
for the milk in the cocoa nut now. The
matter is perfectly clear, and several
very unusual "freaks of trade" are re-
conciled without the aid of forty feet re-

Iadiana is Maine Law State. But
there are moro ways Of killing dog

The following is from the Evansville (Ia J

The whiskey boat just above town,
tied to Kentucky land on the Indiana
shore " is doing smashing business
1t is visited at nights and Sundays by
the lowest scum of tho town, with an
occasional individual making some pre-
tence to decency, but not always ready
to practice it. Boys too visit the rot
gut rendezvous, and have been seen
beastly intoxicated in the neigh borhood
and dozen at time playing cards in
the woods near the boat. Now, all we
have to say is ihis--that any man who
should sec or hear of his son becoming
intoxicated through the presence fthis
boat, and didn't at once soundly thrash
or attempt TO thrash tho owner Of the
boat, is just no man OF all. AS no In
