A Tale of the Say.Nicht.

This secret political society held its first meet
ing in the upper rooms of Hessenhauer' Lager
beer tavern. near the Market House A large
number of Germans from the Fifth Ward, few
Irishmen, and an indefinite number of inveterate
Office seeking Locofoco natives, were in atten-
dance. Making the preliminary arrangements
for the permanent organization of the society was
found to be rather DRY business, and frequent
demands were made upon the barkeeper for re-
freshments, in the shape of bottles Of ale and
mugs of lager beer.
OF course all their demands were complied
with by the accommodating landlord, and at the
close of the meeting he made his appearance with
a bill as long as the moral law, and demanded
payment for fifty four bottles of ale and for quite
number of mugs of lager beer. Araaroaching
the President, and giving the sign, he inquired
.Who was to pay the bll?'' "Sag Nicht,' said
the President. '.Sir?" said the landlord. Sag
Nicht' said the President, with much dignity.
But said the landlord demonstrating. gentle
men, l waited upon you. and brought you all
that YOU called for. and l want my money
Sag Nicht!' shouted the President in voice of
thunder.
The poor landlord found that he had got into
a den of thieves, and in vain he turned to the
Vice President to the Secretary, and to the
Treasurer Srg Ncht was all the answer he
could get and Sag Nicht all the pay he ever
received for his fifty four bottles of ale and the
indefinite number of mugs of lager beer, with
which he had furnished the first meeting of the
secret society of the Sag NIGHTS.

and an inundation was inevitable The means

Execution of Aries at Sidney.

This wretched man who, as our readers will
remember was convicted IN the Court of Com
mon Pleas of Shelby county few months ago,
of an atrocious murder committed on the person
of his own daughter, was hung yesterday. From
private sources we learn, that the execution ex-
hibited a scene of horror, to which it would be
difficult to furnish parallel. The trial, the prs-
on, and the near approach of death had failed to
subdue the spirits of the guilty man, reduce
him to a submissive frame of mind. Since his
conviction his conversation had consisted prin-
cpaly Of expressions of defiance to the officers
of the law varied with the most horrid blasphe-
mics and obscenities. AS he a very strong
muscular man. and had repeatedly asserterted
that he would not be hung, the Sheriff a mat
ter eff precauton had called in outsiders to the
number of twenty five thirty to assist in the
execution of the sentence; but such desperate
resistance did the negro make, that even this
force was hardly equal to the terrible task that
devolved upon them. AS the condemned man
was taken out of his CELL in spite of his heas y
