Lynch Law i'm Western y. Work

On Thursday morning last one OF thos. terri
bic cases of Iynching which have characterized
the Southern States took place at Bushyllle, n.
Y. The Watchmon saws:
A man named William Terpennng lives in
that place, who has the reputation Of doing
many OF the evil acts perpptrated in thrt neigh
borhood. A dav or Two previous, a COW brIong-
lng 10 an individual with whom Tprpenning had
quarrelIrd, was ''hanstrung," and suspicion at
once rested on the scapegoat of the neighbor-
hood. 1t is stated that the evidence is rather
strong against him.
About ? O'Clock on Thursday morning, elev-
en men broke into Terpenning's house, tied a
rope around his neck, and dragged him from
his bed They then tied his hands brhind him,
took bin 10 secluded place, about mile from
hiS house, and commenced whipping him with
horSewhips. They told him that they would
lash him until he owned that he had cut the cow
but he drni"d having done so. They then tied
his feet and took turns at whipping, occasional
ly resting to ask him to confrSs: but h. contin-
ued TO protest his innocenue until about O'Clock
when. be saws, fearing that they would whip
him to drah, and then swearing that they
would do If be did not own it, he acknow-
lodged that he had hamstTung the animal. He
was then taken TO the house of one of the par
ty, and he alleges, his body exposed in an Inde
cent manner.
Terprnning's wif- followed the party, and
was close by all the while they were maltreat-
Ing her husband. She hearrd him cry and pleaG
with them not 10 kill him, but dared not go TO
his assistance. After The whipping was compile
ted, she took his clothes 10 him. They dressed
hitr, again tied bis hands and feet, and IN this
manner he was brought 10 Monticello on Thurs
day morning. From the appearance OF the body
he must have received from three 10 four hun
drrd Iash"s. His whole person was cut and
brul>e ed in a shocking manner. Eleven Of the

CoGN AND HoGs.-From carefully conducted
experiments by different persons, ii has been
asceriained that one bushel of corn will make a
little over l04 pounds of pork, gross. Taking
This result as a basis, the following deductions
are made, which all our laFm-Is would do well
10 lay by for convenient reference; that
When corn costs l2a cents per bushel, pork
costs | ! cents per pound.
When corn costs Il cents per buShel, pork
costs cents per pound.
When corn costs - cents per bushel, pork
costs s cents per pound.
When corn costs 33 cents per bushel, pork
costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 20centS per bushel, pork
costs cents per pound.
The following statements show What The far
mpr realizes in his corn when sold in thr form
of pork:
When pork sells for 8 cents per pound, it
brings % cents per bnshel in corn'
When pork sells for cents per pound, it
brings 32 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells lor 3 cents per pound, it
brings 10 cents per bushrl in corn.

of the determination ofthe wife OF Mr. jams @.

of arson. She did this for the purpose of shar-
ing her husbands captivity.
In connxion with these instances OF woman's
devotion, we may mention the singular fact,
communicated TO Us by State-prson Inspector
OF long experience, that during his term of
office only one husband ofa prisoner ever called
at the prison to see his wife. There are, OF
course, many married women confined for
crime but their husbands invariably desert
them in their trouble On the other hand, q
large ma jority of the married male prisoners
are visited constantly and condoled With by
their sorrowing wives. And yet bow many OF
these poor women have suffered harshnesS and
brutality at the hands OF thrir criminal hus-

were regarded as suitable candidates tor the
presidency Of that republic. He is an eminent
lawyer and advocate, and has participated as
an able actor 10 the progress of Texas, from
small beginnings to a sovereign State of this u
MON. For several years past he has been chief
justice of the State.

Emlgrant Road.

The Marysville Herald recently contain
ed what it deems a reliable statistical artl-
Gle, showing that the route from Marysville
through Bidwell to the American Valley,
and thence into Indian Valley, is the most
practicable in the Nor shern portion of the
State. The Express Of Friday morning,
endorses the Herdlds article, and states
that surveying party has gone out on the
route to return previous to the Convention
to be held in Marysville on the 4th of May
The Marysville press are either grossly de-
ceived in this matter, or they are deter
mined TO send the emigration skylarking to
every point of the compass, and over i'm
passable mountains, in order that the first
town they enter may be .NarysriHe.
If the govnrnment road terminates at
Honey Lake Valley, we have no fears that
the Herdids statistics, even with the en-
dorsement of the Express, will induce the
emigration to travel through the Feather
River mountains to Marysville, when they
have a much shorter valley route all the
way.
We would suggest to the Marysville press
that they can keep the emigrant road from
passing through Oroville, by turning it
across Feather river at Yuba City, and
building road to Chico. This is a much
shorter and better way to Honey Lake than
through the American Valley, and will ae-
complish their object at much less expense.
We want them to do this, because we believe
emigrants would much prefer valley to a
mountain route If Marysvile will do this
instead Of compelling the emigrants to trav-
ell through the mountains, we will have our
authorities abolish all the ferries between
this place and the Yuba City bridge, and
thus compel the emigration to enter Marys-
vile the first place in the State! Won't
that do? or have you determined to build
the road through Bidwell, route that has
poisoned the stock Of every emigrant train
that ever travelled it, for the purpose of
avoiding Oroville?
We had rather cut away our ferries than
have this imposition practiced upon emigra-
ton at the end of a journey not equalled in
duration elsewhere in the world.

An American State.

Governor, Legislature and the whole state

The people of California placed noae but
Americans on guard at the election of'55 and
the result has been bankrupt State, several
hundred thousand dollars plunderad from

of the present Legislature has been con-

American state officers, and in their i'm

can party should be entitled to the conf
