CRIcKET.-lIeSsrs. EditorS-We are glad to
see anything in the way # amusement combined
with healthfu exercise, introduced to our midst.
There has been a great lack of anything of the
kind, which could be of advantage to those whose
pursuits are sedentary. The cricket club recent
ly started in our city seems to us to be the very
thing most needed, and therefore we have watch
ed its progress with considerable interest. The
club numbers at present about sixty members,
and has made arrangements with the Agrcultur-
al Society for the use of their grounds, which
are to be prepared for that purpose. We were
present on Saturday last and witnessed the game.
There seems to be good deal of interest mani
Tested by the members, and we should Judge
good deal of talent displayed by many of the
players Considering the short time the club
has been in existence, we think they have made
great progress, and should they make as much
IN the future as in the past, we pr edct that they
will stand high in the estimation Of The sporting
world. We understand that arrangements aIe in
progress for a match upon the grounds, on the
Fourth" and that preparations will be made to
accommodate as many of our citizens as shall
wish to see this interesting and manly game

Mon LAW IN IowA.-Some days ago we
published extracts from manifesto issued by
a vigilance committee in Jackson county,
(lowa.) The Chicago Press informs us that
the committee have extended their operations
into Clinton county:
" On the 28th ult., some forty or fifty of
the Jackson county aw-de6ers proceeded to
Dewitt, the county seat of Clinton county,
armed at all points, and demanded the prison
ers confined in Jail there, who had been re-
moved from jackson county on a change of
venue. The sheriff resisted their demand and
summoned the by ISLANDERS to his assistance,
who returned to aid him. After knocking
the sheriff over their head with their guns,
they succeeded iu getting possession Of the
keys, and entered the jail, and took out Bar
ger, confined for numbering his wife, The
mob took Barger over near the Maquoketa,
where they hung him about nine o'clock
on Friday morning. The mob was composed
Of the same men who lately hung Clifford in
that county. They are thoroughly organized
and are said to number from four to five
hundred.
An Irishman named Carroll, who was in
Jail for the murder of German last fall, and
has not yet had legal hearing. was informed
that he was to be hung at the same time with
Barger, but on further consideration by the
mob, it was deemed proper that he should
have fair trial.
Another person who was arrested in that
vicinity for stealing watch, and confined in
the Clinton Jail, was taken to the place of
execution, and severely whipped, and ad.
monished to leave the State, and never to ap-
pear in that part again, as he valued his lite.
1t was the intention of the mob to take an
other prisoner, who had been Imprisoned for
horse stealing, bnt he effected his escape the
night before and fled to parts unknown"

THANKs.-We take this occasion to express
our thanks to two of our national Democratic
friends who called on us yesterday, as they said,
'to express their border ruffian sympathes in the
case of the two little emancipated slave boys re-.
Gently sent to us from Kentucky, and to leave
with us some material aid for their support, until
good homes can be procured for them.
1t is very desirable that these boys should have
homes with some kind and discreet person or
persons in the country who will interest them
selves in their welfare, and see to it that they
brought up to some useful calling. We trust
that if there are any persons in Worcester Coun-
ty who would like to make an addition to their
amilies by receiving of these boys, that their
modesly will not prevent them from giving one or
both OF them at least trial.

Know NoTHINGIsM THE ALLY OF SLAVERY.
We have been blamed by some who mean
well, for regarding and treating the distinctive
/" American organization in the free States
as maintained for The benefit of the pro slave
ry Democracy. Our only answer to these re-
proaches is the fact that we must state facts as
we see them. The distinctive or straight"
American party did It's best for the sham De-
mocracy in the late Connecticut election, and
gave it two members of Congress. We believe
it is operating the same way in other States,
including our own. The Express of this city
affords fair indication of the set of the Know
Nothing current. Here is a corroborating par
agraph from California =
" The Sacramento Union says a number of
the leading members of the late Know Moth
ing party of California recently met by previ-
Gus arrangement, with closed doors, in Saera-
mento, for the purpose of advising upon the
best course to be pursued as to their future
political position. With entire unanimiiy,
they came to the conclusion that it would be
useless to longer continue a separate organic.
alton. They then resolved to sustain the adj
ministration of President Buchanan, and to
stand upon his platform SO long as those prin-
ciples should be maintained. The ascend lage
embraced many of the leaders of the late par.

of the way. The wire pierced the pupil of
the eye, and the sight was entirely destroyed

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF ELECTRIcITY.-The

occurred at the locomotive works in Detroit,
is ehronicled by the Free Press
+" A locomotive was beng moved from the
mandatory to the Central depot. and had
arrived in the middle of the street. when sud.
denly all hands dropped the bars with which
they were moving the machine, and all fell
back in amazement. Resuming them at the
order of the man in charge, they applied them
again to the wheels, and again fell back para
lived, the instant they touched the iron. The
director of the job caught up one of the bars,
and making savage thrust, planted it under
a wheel, preparatory to give huge lift. No
sooner had it touched, however, than he saw
it fall from his grasp to the ground, as it had
done in every case before. Such singular oc-
curIences excited attention, and an examina-
ton was made as to the cause, when it was
found that the locomotive, in passing under
the telegraph line, Ind come in contact with
broken wire that hung sufficiently low to
reach it. The whole mass of iron composing
the locomotive had thus become charged with
electricity, which had communicated itself to
the bars that the men held in their hands,
and caused the effect above described. The
wire was then removed, aud the difficulty OBJ.
