Man WITH Four EYEs.-A new
wonder has been discovered in New
York, in the person of man named Karl
Saul, who, il is asserted, has four eyes :
He has one pair in the usual place and
another in the back Of his head. cor
RESPONDENT Of the Evening Post, who en-
joys the acquaintance of the individual
saws that "bolh sells Of eyes are perfect
and he sees back wards and forwards at 'he
same time with equal ease compromising
al glance every thing within range OF
his vision either way. The objects
which he simultaneously beholds he will
describe with wonderful accuracy. In
deed he is remarkable for his descriptive
powers. Mr.. Saul is a man OF eX-
IRENE dihidence, and the peculiarly OF
his visual construction has been carefully
concealed, and has heretofore been known
only to some of his most intimate friends.
The back of the head is quite flat but he
has long hair, which ellectuaIly conceals
the large eyes, which are generally pro-
tected by bandage.'

JUST as the company had encamped for
the night terrible tornado blew up, &C.
companied by torrents of hail stones.
Three wagons were literally smashed in
atoms. Mr.. Durham trunk was carried
off and never found, one OK was carried
over the creek, their ox-yokes were car
ried two and a half miles from camp, and
the entire company were carried from nifty
TO one hundred and fifty yards-thflr out
fl, was destroyed, and a tree ten inches IN
diameter was uprooted and carried seven
miles. Fortunately no lives were lost.
Two of the company purchased a wa
gon and went on across the Plains to The
mines. while Mr.. G. Durham patched up
a wagon out of the three broken ones,and
passed through Council Bluffs on Tues
day last, en- route for home, perfectly sat
is6ed with his adventures on the Plains.

Burning a Negro at the Stake---Dread-
full Particulars

A correspondent of the Maysville Ea-
ole gives the following particulars of the
recent burning of negro at Troy, Ken
lucky, for the murder OF bis master:
On New Years day the annual negro
sales took place at troy the county seat,
and there was quite collection OF people
there; everything went on smoothly until
about three o'clock in the evening, when
Mr.. James Galway, a brother-in-law OF
the deceased, mounted upon 40 old goods
box before the store door and addressed
the people for about fifteen minutes. He
said if the u ass of the people felt as he
did, and would do their duty, which lie
believed they would, that they would take
that black murderer out of Jail and burn
him at the stake, in the presence of all
the negroes that we're there, to set an ex-
ample tefore then, and show them what
will be the result of all such conduct if
there should ever be such again.
Then he closed by saying, "All that feel
as do will follow me-" He then leap
ed FROM the stand, aud there was gen.
eral shout given, and be led the way to
the Jail, and nine-tenths of the multitude
followed. On arriving at the Jail they
found the Sheriff and the Jailor, who did
all they could to suppress the mob, but
all to no purpose.
They now mustered some 500 to 1000
strong. They then commenced with
sledge hammers, crowbars and axes, and
in about an hour entered the Jail and
brought forward their victim (the Negro
murderer) They marched him to the
centre of the Jail yard, drove down large
stake and chained him, in an erect posi-
ton, hand and feet fast to the stake
There was an abund ance of shaving and
