FIRING ORR THE MuIINEERs,- ,--HoR-
RIBLE SoENEs.-The following extract
from letter of British officer in India,
showing how the mutineers were treated at
Peshawur, makes us fear that barbarities
are not wholly confined to the Sepoy side
A force of Europeans with guns was sent
round the fort, one of which, DIeerdan,
was held by the 55th native infantry N
open mutiny; they tried to escape when
our force appeared, and some got off to
Swat-thc others were made prisoners.
One hundred and fifty were killed on the
spot, nine tried by drulnhead court-martial
and instantly shot, including native Off
! cor of regiment not in mutiny, who would
not act as he was ordered Others were
driven into the hills and killed by the hill
men, a price OF 10 rupees being set on their
heads. The colonel of this regiment blew
out his brains in disgust at the mutiny.-
The villains kept their officers in con6ne-
ment, and told them if they tried to escape
they would roast them alive They did,
| however, manage to escape. Tho force
then went and disarmed all the other regi-
ments in the forts and quoted the district
| Some of the two hundred prisoners of
the 55th have been tried, and ,oe ble,o for
" Of them array from our gins, in pres
ence of the whole force, three days ago
fearful but necessary example, which has
struck terror into their souls, Three sides
of a square were formed, ten guns pointing
outwards, the sentence of the court was
read, prisoner bound to each gun, the
signal given and the salvo fired. Such a
scene | hope never again to witness-hu-
man trunks, heads, legs, arms, &C., flying
about in all directions. All met their fate
with frmuess but two who would not be
tied up; SO to save time they were dropped
to the ground and their brains blown out
| by the musketry

THREE Men KILLED by LIGurNING.-
On Monday week the barn of Dlr. Wm.
Henry, on Fish Greek Hills, near Bolton,
Va, was struck by lightning Three men
were killed, and the barn and its contents
totally destr6yed,> The men were engaged
in 'thrcshing with machine inside tho
barn, wlien the electric fluid struck the CYL
inder of, thsl thresher. John Nicely and
Joseph Young were instantly killed.
There were some half dozen persons in the
barn at the time, among them Mr.. Henry
himself, whose injurcs.by the shock have
since resulted in his death. This unlocked
forincdent says the Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger, which deprives the community of three
OF it's best citizens, has cast gloom ever

ROMANCE IN REAL. LIFE-Thc London
Court Journal says; Among the prescm-
tations to her Majesty at one of the Draw
ing. Rooms this season, was young lady
upon her marriage, and about whose nup-
tials story is current of more than usual
interest in these unromantic times She
is the daughter OF II burunct holding dis
tinguised position. Among the suitors of
this young lady. who Is as pretty as accom-
plishcd, was one of very advanced years
but it was in vain that all the allurcments
consequent upon the possession of riches
Were set forth, The fair maiden showed
} herself completely indifferent to the golden
prize that lay at her feet, and, in spite of
the strong recommendation of papa, it was
unhesitotingly rejected. SO far, therefore,
everything was perfectly natural and very
unromntic. But it seems that the gentle
manS after his proposals had been declined
(of course with the usual protestations of
respect and esteem again sought an inter
view, and assured the lady that his attach
mcnt was not selfsh--thnt he was ready, at
any sacrifice, to do anything that could con-
tribute to her happiness and that, if her
affections were fixed on any one whose
wealth mightnot be adequate to his good
fortune, he was ready, by "A settlement even
70 the extent of 100000, to place her
happiness in her own power Such proof
of disintcrested attachment was perfectly
uudcniable, and it is said the young lady
pondered SO much over it that, like the re-
cital of Othcllo s,dangers, itwrought COM
pletc rcvulsionof feeling. We not pretend
to know on what kind of "hint" the vcner-
able gentleman spoke again, but speak again
he did, and with so much effect that the
happy day was soon named and the nup-
tials in due course solemniscd, and the fair
bride presented on her marriage to the
Queen. The world gives, with its usual
generosity, an almost fabulous amount to
Mr. ----'s fortune, but it is very well
known, that one item in it is e150, 600 rail
way stock, more than half of which is pay
ing six per cent. N

Prof. l.. II. RuRbec.

Nvill be gratifying to large portion OF the
citizens Of jackson county to know that
worthy gentleman and IN accomplished scholar
has been placed in nomination by the Republic
cans for the important Office of Superintendent
Of Public Instruction. There were many worthy
applicants Tor the place, all good men and emf
nently fitted Tor the station, which adds to the
character Of the nominee, and is convincing
proof the esteem in which he is held. During
his short sojourn in the Capitol City, he won
many friends, aud wherever he makes himself
known throughout the State he is sure to win
his way to the hearts of the people. As SUI
perintendent he will be highly priced by the PEG.
pic, for he is far above the narrow bigotry Of
party, and will make faithful and efficient Off
Ger. We confidently expect to see prof Bug
bee elected by the largest majority ever given
to State officer in Iowa. The Republican con.
vcnt,on certainly manifested good judgement in
the selection of such man, and no nomination
ever made by them has been better received
The sham democracy may, as they no doubt will
exhaust their vocabulary to find epithets to heap
upon him. But the people know their man,
and will support him. The smile Of demagogues
he need not court.--Maquoketa Excelsior.
