voting efforts Of the internal spirit OF
lynch law is recorded in recent number
of the Gonzales Enquirer, as having oc-
Cured at the jail in Clinton, De WIT
County. Texas. On the 30th Of July, at
4 political gathering in Clinton, a Mr.
Amswor,h killed man named Taylor
Ainsworih Immediately fed, but was sub
sequenlIy arrested on the Trinity rlver'
bv the friends of Taylor, and taken back
TO Clinton, where he was safely ironed IN
the dungeon Of the Jail.
Recently, several persons entered the
upper apartment of the jail by nigh!, filed
the windows with bed clothing, and broke
open a door which seems to have been in
the TOP of the cell. Through this they
then dropped an ignIled turpentine halI,by
the light of which they could plainly see
the situation of the prisoner. They then
deliberately murdered Ainsworlh, firing
successvely four different yoIleyS Of
buckshot until he was killed. The cries
of the victim for help, and his screams of
pain were distinctly heard by persons
close at hand, not one of whom, however,
would venture to his assistance.

4 SMUGGLING MILLINBR ARRESTED N
BosroN.-The Boston Bee says: a
wel-known Washington street millner
who makes frequent voyages to Europe,
was detected on Saturday, by the Custom
House officers, attempting TO smugge a
quantity Of valuable lace and gimp. Sus-
picion having been excited, she was IN
formed By The officers that il was necessa-
ry TO search her person, and that woman
would wait upon her for that purpose.
An investigation, which followed, showed
that one Of her under garments was pad
ded TO an unusual extent, and the female
was requested to dispense with that arlic-
! lie Of her dress--which the officers found
to contain an additional quantity Of Snug
gled articles. The garment and contents
were retained by the officers; the female
was allowed to depart.
A MoRMaN IN TIE ARMg.--One OF the
| United States officers has become Nor
mon, and has two wives, one Of whom
resides on a farm, and the other in the
city. lie claims that he is in the perlor-
nance of q religious duty, and manllests
strong appearance of sincerity.
Il asked him today if he had the same
love for h,s wife in Juab as for his first
wife. His reply was
"It is very singular question"
"Why so ? You loved, or pretended
to love your first wife at the time OF your
marriage"
'Certainly; and I tell my last, that
when she has been tried in the furnace of
afFliction as Mrs. II. has, my love will be
equal"
"a pretty furnace of afTliclion,' truly,
which is intended for the torment Of wo-
men alone minated that men ought
to be scorched little, too but he con-
tended they had their share in other ways.
| All this was said with degree Of earnest
sincerity, creating the conviction that The
man may be sincere believer in Nor
monism. But alas for his poor WIFE
When they called together one day, for
: moment detected IN her countenance,
while in repose, look so gloomily sad,
that her whole heart of agony lay bare be-
fore me. Poor, poor wife Her days are
destined to be few and foil Of trouble"
