LYNCH Law AT CAIRo.-A late Cairo Times con-
tains the following
"Cairo justice was vindicated last Monday Of
ternoon, after all. The scamp who descended to
such a depth of meanness, as to steal nego's
money was taken to the river by committee of
citizens, and soused into the river much as be
could bear, and then sent across the river, About
hundred citizens of Kentucky collected on u Q
other shore and seemed very indignant that'theIr
bank should be made Botany Bay for Cairo
rogues. Whatever may be said about mob law,
we consider it perfectly justdable in such case.
''The crime was fully proved on the man, he was
known to be thief and scoundrel, but he cou'd
not be convicted on the negro's testimony. Hod
served punishment, and that which he got was suE-
fcently lenient ...t.

ACT OF ExcoMMUNICATIoN AT CoBLE LENTz.--We find
in tie Journal de Frankfort some curious details
relative to an "excommunication" which has just
been pronounced at Coblentz. The narrative is as
follows:
CoBLENTz, December L. 1S55.--On Sunday, we
were witnesses Of the ceremony which has not
been performed for centuries, viz: an excommu-
nioaton--the subject being M. Sonntag mer-
chant at Coblentz, who was divorced from his first
wife, and eight years ago was married by the civil
authorities only to the present one. Last sum.
mer, NJ. Sonntag was commanded by the clergy
to separate from his wife, and not obeyng their
decree, he was on Sunday accommodated. Dean
Kramentz, after preaching sermon against the
civil marriage, put some other sacerdotal gar
ments, and accompanied by two clergymen bear
ing wax tapers, read, standing in the middle of
the church, the sentence of accommodation
against NJ. Sonntag and his lady. He then ex-
tinguished the tapers, saying that the individu-
ais named were not worthy to see the day Of
the Lord, and throwing the candlesticks to the
ground, breaking them to pieces exclaimed, "Let
the bells sound the funeral knellp We imme-
diately heard the sound of bells and the chants
for the dead The Dean in conclusion, proclaim
ed that no one, whosoever, was to hold relations
with the excommunicated, to salute them, &c.
This prohibition has not had much effect, for their
house has been filed ever since with visters, and
at night they have been serenadcd.
UNFoRTUNATE MALEs.-The Albany Register
says that there is in that city young man, sew
enteen years of age, possessing voice and face
so strkngly feminine, with some semblance in gait
and manner to female, that he is often mistaken
for female in male attire. He is often moested
by rowdies, who take him for female, and he has
been obliged TO obtain a certificate as TO his sex
from the chief of police to insure himself from
picion and arrest. The Register says that a bro
ther Of the young man possesses the same feminine
countenance and voice-while his sister possesses
masculine face and voice. He has frequently as
sumed female attire, and feels at in that dress
and indeed is less liable to attract attention in that
costume than the one properly belonging to him.
Things have evidently got terribly mixed in that
family.
