EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF LYNcHING-
The Chicago Times furnishes the details of
one of the most extraordinary cases of lynch
ing of females on record The affair took
place at South Bend, Indiana, a few days since.
notorious woman of the town named Coles
was passing along the street. when she was
seized by three said to be respectable women,
one at each shoulder, and one behind, and
made to run through one of the principal
streets. A crowd began to gather, and among
them the marshal, who took the woman Coles
in charge. The crowd commenced to disperse,
but the marshal letting the woman go, the
three others again started after her and over
taking her on the other side of the bridge, and
outside of the city limits, seized her, tied her
hands behind her back and in presence of at
least five hundred men, women and children,
stripped every ceStige Of clothing from her person,
and administered a coat of tar and feathers. A
young man in the crowd was provided with
pair of shears, and performed tonsorial oper-
alton on her head. The woman was then al
lowed to depart, and she took refuge in a black
smiths shop, about hundred yards off. The
correspondent passing by the place an Eour
aftel ward, saw clothes lying in the street
around the remains of bag of feathers, and
the woman still in the backsmith's shop. Not
being satisfied with what they had done, the
women poured what remained of the tar on
her head. A committee 'endeavored to find
the young man who played the barber, but was
unsuccessful.

IMPORTANT ARREST OF CoUNTERFEITERs
Amos L. Haight, Caroline, his wife, and
Dallas, his son, Frederick M. CAN'T, and
Polly, his wife, were arrested in Troy Mon
day, on the double charge Of count arteiting and
forgery. The officers found in possession of
the parties, at both places, a large quantity
of finished and unfinished coin,-ten cent
pieces, quarters and together with
the plaster of paris moulds, acids, presses,
plates and dies for altering bank notes, large
quantity of altered bills on different banks
seventy or eighty thousand dollars worth in
fact, the complete apparatus of counterfeit
ing establishment, with all its appurtenances
and belongings. Haight was leading men,
Der of a mystic circle of counterfeiters, whose
operations extend through all the cities be-
tween Troy and Buffalo. This fact was
made known to the officer by a member re-
Gently arrested at the West. On Thursday
evening last, Stafford went to the house in
Third street, inquired for the elder Haight,
and was admitted the presence. After making
the mystic sign of the rascally gang, and put
ting himself on good terms with this wary
scoundrel, Stafford announced that he was in
the counterteiting business, and that his object
was the purchase of a quantity of stuff for
circulation at the West. There did not seem
to be any disposition to disbelieve him, but
the 1algntS evidently considered ltDeStto move
cautiously, and the officer was subjected to a
scorching examination by father, wife and
son.
Stafford was frequently at the house of the
Haights after that and was through them in
troduced to Gantz, the Ida Hill counterfeiter
On Saturday night, Amos l. Haight invited
him to take part with them in making the
coin. He exhibited to him all the apparatus,
and instructed him as to its use. A lump of
base metal weighing several pounds was melt
ed, run into moulds representing ten twenty
five and fifty cent pieces, and galvanized. The
woman and son took part in the operations,
and were quite as expert as the father and his
Ida Hill accomplice. The coins, after coming
from the moulds, were rough upon the edges
and imperfect. There was a machine for
smoothing them and bringing out their fea-
lures, and this was the woman's business.
Stafford bought a lot of the bogus stuff, paid
for it, and took it to his official comrades.
Gantz and his wife were arrested at their
house on Ida Hill. In the pocket of her dress
the woman had several hundred dollars in bo-
gus and altered bills, and some base coin.
Haight was found in bed. He had previously
borne good character.-ABany Journal

FATHER AND Son
Mr.. George H. Hall, of Battimo-& WOGoop-
er, &C., and his son William, were Ter. ID by
lightning on Saturday afternoon last while on
fishing excursion at Spring Gardens, and
taking shelter under a tree. Both bodies bear
evidence of the cause of DEATH That of the
father is discolored from the crown of the head
to the ankles, whilst the face and neck are not
only iniamed but scorched deep red and blue
ish colors. The clothes which he had on were
rent into Sits and burned so as to be rendered
utterly useless. A pair of long cunning boots
were perforated in many places as though they
had been fired at with buck shot, and one OF
them was torn completely off his foot The
boots worn by his son also exhibit many SINH
lar holes, and it seems to have been through
these that the lightning passed out and ex-
hausted its power. One of the boots worn by
the son was ripped on one side and otherwise
uninJured. A two foot brass-bound rule in the
pantaloons pocket of the father likewise attests
the great power and intense heat of the fluid,
On both ends the thick brass band is partially
melted, as well as a portion of the edge near
the center of the rule.

DIsMALIsMs FROM Pixies PEAK.-H. G..
Clark, writing from Rocky Mountain Valley,
puts it severely to Horace Greeley, for pub
fishing his extravagant account of the gold
dggings at Pixies Peak. He says Horace be-
leved everything the miners told him, and
that, with very few exceptions, the miners, and
every one else out there, are the greatest liars
the writer ever saw. He says that not one in
five hundred are doing better than common
day laborer in the United States. There arc
three kinds of diggings, viz lead, gulch, and
bar. They have to use snow water to wash
out with, and the snow had nearly given out
early in July. Wages were only 81 so per
day, and board was 81 per day. There are a
great many sick in the mountains. Five died
near Clark's residence on the 10th uIt. Hun.
dreds were leaving every day, and as many
more arriving.

sons connected with the electrical staff both at
Newfoundland and Valentia, nearly four hum
dred messages were successfully transmitted,
containing an aggregate of more than three
thousands words.
The first two days were spent in fruitless eff
forts at Newfoundland to procure an intelligi-
BILE message from Valentia. On the 10th of
August, at IL II A. NJ, the jubiatory message,
previously agreed upon, was sent from Valen-
tia and received at Newfoundland 1t was re-
turned at ! 16 p. NJ. On the evening of the
same day. the first part of the Queens message
was forwarded and completed the following
morning. Nothing of Importance transpired
on the line till the 18th, when the collision of
the Arabia with the Europa, off Cape Race,
was announced in Europe, and the Presidents
message to the Queen was transmitted
After this the wires began to work hand
somely, and the operators to be much encour-
aged. Long messages were sent to and fro at
short intervals, mostly relating to the affairs of
the company, and to directions to each other.
On the evening of the Goth the following con-
versation took place.

Meanwhile the enthusiasm in this country
was at fever heat, heightened by every success
sive message which was transmitted. On the
18th, Mr.. Field told the people of London that
america was wild with joy" and on the fol-
lowing day was sent the first foreign despatch
for the associated press. Here the current
began to Decline till September 1st The last
words received at Valentia were "Forty eight
words, Right, Right" in response to a mes
sage of congratuation and sympathy in the
joyous celebrations which were that day tax
ing place. The last words received at New
foundIand were:
&C W. Field, NeV York, please inform American goU-
eminent position to do best to for,card
The rest of the message, "their government
messages to England" was lost with the last
hope of the cable. How the impatient public
waited, complained, made fun of De Sauty,
and gave up in despair, will not be easily for
gotten.
The publication Of these messages will throw
much light upon the difficulties attending this
interesting enterprise, and WILL at the same
time, disarm the incredulity and distruSt with
which a second experiment, under better
auspices, might have to contend.
