Two Negroes Hung-Another Burnt at

Marshall. Saline Co., Mo, July 90
Some lime ago you will recollect, a he
gro murdered gentlemen named Hinton,
near Wavely, ip this county. He was
caught after lone search, and put in all
Yesterday he was tried at this place AID
convicted of the ~eriRe, and sentenced TO
be hung. While The sheriff mas convey
ing him to prison he was set upon by The
crowd and taken from that officer. The
mob then proceeded 10 rhe jail and took
from .thence-lwo other negroes. One OF
them had atiem pied the life of a citizen OF
this place, and the other had just commit
ted an outrage upon a white girl. After
the mob got the negroes together, they
proceeded to the outskirts of the town,
and selected proper place, chained the
negro who killed Hinton, to a stake, got
quantity of dry wood. piled it around
him, and sci it on fire Then commen-

has never been Witnessed before in thus,
or perhaps any other place.
The negro was stripped TO his waist
and bareioOed. He looked the picture
of despsir-but there wss no sympathy
Il felt for him at the moment. Presently
the fire began TO surge up in flames
around him, and lis effects were soon
made visible in the futile. attempts Of the
poor wretch to move his feet. As the

The ends Of justice are surely as fully
accomplished by the ordinary process OF
law, as by the violence Of an excited pop

If the horrors OF the day had ended
here it would have been well. but the 9th

perhaps, but in violation Of law and good
order. They exhibited no remorse. One
of them simply remarked, "lhat lie hoped

was upon the daughter Of a highly respec'

lude for Virginia loyalty, he quarIered
her coat of arms with those of England,
Scotland, and Ireland, as an ipdepen.

the origin Of the phrase "OId Dominion.

Men who commence business should
be careful how they neglect their pbllga-
rons, and break their word. A person
who is prompt can always be accommo-
dsed, and is therefore "lord over another
mans pure" as Franklin would say.
Never make promises upon uncertainties.
Although the best men may sometimes
fail TO DO as they would, the case is ex-
ceedngly rare. He who is prompt 10 Iul-
Ii his word will never make a promise
where il is not next 10 moral certainty
that he can do as he agrees. II you
would succeed, be punctuaI 10 the hour.
Return borrowed money the moment you
promised. In all lhings, il you are thus
prompt, we will risk you through life; you
will succeed; you cannot help it. Those
who are prompt in their business affairs
are generally so in every department OF
life. You never know them 10 be late al
church, 10 the polls, or 10 pay the prin-
lers for advertising. A promptness in
everything charscleriZes them.
