JUDGE LYNCH AGATN.-This redoubtable
gentleman made his appearance in Florida
Township, this county, on Tuesday night of
last week. 1t seems thas young man by
the name of Benjamin Wheat had rendered
himself obnoxious to certain individuals, and
they repaired to his bedroom on Tuesday
night, took him out, stripped him bare to the
hips, and gave him one hundred and twenty
five lashes, leaving his back dreadfully torn
and mangled. This is a high-handed affair,
and ought to be investigated. We learn that
several other individuals have been notified to
prepare for visit from the officegs,of Judge
Lynch's Court. Who is this band of regula-
tors? Does anybody know?-[[ Rockville Rep.

Hartly, of Ripley co. had been to Aurora with
"a team, and his wife and child along. They
were returning, and While crossing a small run
cabout mile west of Dillsboro, the wagon up
set and by some means the persons in it were
thrown out so that the wagon fell on top Of
them. Mrs. Hartly managed to get from I'M
der the wagon, and had TO go quarter of a
mile to the nearest house (Afr. Youngss) for
assistance for the others. Mr.. Hartly was
found to have been instantly killed-whife the
child was unhurt Mrs. H. is slightly injured.
