CAUTION TO MARRIED FLIRrs The Mad
isol (IndianaD aDcorresponden Of the Louisville
Democrat writes to that paper the particulars
of an outrage which was perpetrated week be-
fore last upon the persons of DR. VIM. G. Hall,
of the town Of Hent, Madison Co, Indiana.
At the hour Of midnight, a pack Of rufsans
went to the house where the Doctor and his
wife were living, took him out Of bed, blind
folded him, filled his mouth so as he could
make no noise, carried him short distance
and tied him to tree, and then, with stout
switches, gave him a severe whipping on nis
back, he having nothing upon him but his
shirt After they had whipped him ssversly,
thew attempted to tar and feather him, but
when they commenced to do this, he broke
Loose from them, ran to the nearest house and
gaye the alarm The rascais VINO were con-
cerned ia the outrage, dispersed In the dark
ness of the night and could not be found.
Fonr individuals have been arrested and held
TO bail Itis said that the Doctor had been
n,vino attentiors to a number Of young ladies,
mrncb 70 the neglect Of his own wife, and hence
the proceedings above mentioned.

TIE LAST SERMON ON HooPs "A wife and
mother" writes to the New York Tribune, q
more practical sermon about hoops than We
have yet seen. The question may be consid-
cred settled. She Gays:
During the cooking controversy which has
especially ragged in The Weekly Tribune /
have kept silent and learned all that could
from you and the various individuals who
have contributed their views and experiences
to that i'm mportant subject But in the Trib-
une Feb. q, subject Of equal importance Is
mentioned in a manner not to be patiently
borne by womanly nature-I allude TO hoops.
You do not like them; very well, you do not
wear them, l suppose, consequently you know
nothing Of their convenience If I tell you
that hoop-skirt relieves the hips and body
OF the wearer of load which would be neces-
sary In its absence you will say, Why necess-
ary, either with or without hoops? In reply,
would ask you how would you like to see
the streets of New York City ornamented with
women in pantaloons? And do you not think
that they (pantaloons, of course) would be
quite as becoming as drapery which shows
the figure with every movement? No woman
ventures, unless compelled by necessity, into
the street when the wind blows If scant drspery
be the reigning fashion No true man would
make remarks about the flying skirts, but
there are plenty of miserable wretehes who
would; and but few high minded women have
independence enough to brave the jeers Of
such creatures. A person can walk with
much greater ease with hoop even If the
same amount of clothing be worn; there lie a
buoyancy in the balloon-like structure which
is great relief to all who are unfortunate
enough to wear skirts. You say that the EN-
press Eugenie, for purposes Of her own"
frst started the, TO you " terrible fashion -
Pray, do let the Empress Eugenie's and your
wife's, if you have one, and your neighbor's
and evsrybody's purpose alone. If women
are foolish enough to get married, do please
let their dress alone. If they contrive to ap-
pear in public one-fcurth Of year at tine,
do let them do so

hoBBER CAUGHT IN HIS Own TRAP.-The
following singular case Of robbery is reported
in the Bordeaux Indicator: -.
a woman employed as housekeeper at the
chateau Of LuGon. near the city, recently IT,
herited sum Of 500 francs. A peasant en-
ployed to take caro- Of the grounds of the chat
eau, hearing of her good fortune, determined
to possess himselfofthe money Accordingly,
few months ago, the owner Of the chateau
and all the servants being absent, he got the
woman on some pretext to visit him at a room
which he occupied in ore of the dependencies
of the chateau. After a while be locked the
door, and with the most dreadful threats de-
clared that he would murder her unless che
at once gave him the 500 francs The woman,
being seriously alarmed, took him to her
chamber, snd gave him the money. The man
then declared that he must murder her TO
prevent her from accusing him; and be COM
manded her TO say what kind Of death she
would prefer. The poor woman prayed for
mercy, but he peremptorily told her that she
she at last selected hanging. The man then
tied her hands behind her back, and fastened
her to the bedstead. He afterwards mounted
on chair to fix a rope to a beam, and made
a running moose at the end. Having duly fas.
tened the rope, he put his arm into the moose
to see if the latter would slip well; at that
moment the woman, with great presence Of
mind, gave violent kick to the chair, which
fell, and the man remained suspended by the
arm. He roared for help, and the woman
cried out Z" murder" but there was no one
but themselves in the chateau or its depend
encies, and they were not heard They accord
ingly remained in their respective positions,
the man suffering dreadful agony, until morn
ing, when their cries attracted the attention
Of the labOrers. These men, on hearing the
woman's stery, released her, but left the man
an ad npr bau
trate. The funetionsry had the man cut
down, and after receiving the woman's depo-
sition, caused bimIto be sent TO prison to await
his trial for the robbery" f"
