Man and his wife Hung.
From the Chicago Tribune.


KErHssURa. Mercer Co, Ill, May Q, 1853.
A day or two since our usually quiet COM
munity was thrown into high state of
excitement by an occurrence which / have
thought may be worthy of recital in your
paper. Il seems that some few DAYS ago
q man and his wife, BY. the name Of Bell,
were arrested and examined before JUS
tice on the charge Of stealing elso. No
thing conclusive was proven against than,
but they were still held IN custody for some
reason for which / have not as YET learned
and as they manifested no desire to escape,
and no violence towards them vas apprs-
hended, they were merely kept in the
dwelling house of Justice Dilley. On
Wednesday night May 4th, when no one
was dreaming of danger, number Of men
in disguise broke iuto the house at which
they were staying, and after fastening the
Justice in his room to prevent his interfsr-
ence, they proceeded to tats possession of
the prisoners. The man fought like IT,
ger, but was soon overpouered, and both
were carried off into the woods. They
were told that if they would not confess
the theft and give up the money they
would be Immediately hung. As neither
one would acknowledge anything, they at
once proceeded to accomplish their fend-
ish purposes. The man was first hung up
and kept there until be was entirely uncon-
scious, and then with refinement of cru
city which could only be looked for in the
most hardened brutes, be was taken down
and buried in shallow hole, which was
dug for the purpose, to make his wife be-
lieye that be was dead, in hope of fright
ening her into a confession. But the wo-
man was plucky, and would give them no
satisfaction. She was accordingly swung
up by the same rope used on her husband,
and was let hang til life vas nearly ex-
tinct; in the meantime the man was taken
from bis grave, and the lyuchers finding
that nothing was to be got out Of them,
after some difficulty resuscitated them and
left them to get home as best they could.
This diabolical proceeding has awakened
the deepest indignation in the community,
and should the sufferers be able, ~ they
say are, to identify any Of their persscu-
tors, no pains will be spared to bring thsm
to Justice. No arrests has been made up
TO yesterday, but preparations were being
made for the apprehension Of three or four
of those concerned.
As I'had the particulars from one of
the individuals who had charge Of he
prisoners, you may rely on their correct
ness.
Should anything Of importance trans
pire in connection with this extraordinary
case, will give you all the particularss-
Yours truly, IL ma

HThe Newport Neps tells the follow
ing story:
"PeI, esq.,, has Just commenced the ereo-
ton of new fence in front of his man
sion, on Mary street, in this city. On one Of
the posts is the following, in manuscript;
"tThe proposed fence is to be go feet
long, 81 feet rails and coping; to be finish
ed this week. Mr.. Eaton is the carpenter,
and Mr.. Fludder the mason. The work is
to be done by the day.

"Apra 20, 1857 DUNCAN PELL."
To this the National Intlligencer thus
narrates the sequel:
"It was on the first night of the to-be-
dry month of May, 1s59-the month of
flowers and balmy zephyrs, passional at
traction, green peas, and other affinitiss
that Duncan Pell lay buried in the arms
Of slumber. A loud and terrible rapping
aroused bin. 1t was continued. Rap,
rap, rap! Starting from sleep, Duncan
looked forth into the moonlight. A dark
form was pounding away at the door. As
Pell looked from the window, the form
cried aloud;
"'Say, you Mister Pell, be you agoin'
to have this 'ere fence white or yaller
washed2" >.

A British soldier more merciful-or

A British soldier more merciful-or il
may be more eruel-than his companions,
turned the butt of. his musket and ended
the sufsrings of the victim by dashing out
his brains.
If there was ever a most damnable and
cold bIooded assassination on earth, it was
that Of poor Durfee-shot, stabbed, and
his brains beaten out by British soldiers,
by command of British officers on Ameri.
can soil. That no reparation should have
been demanded for such an atrocious out
rage, was, is, and ever will be, q most con-
vincing proof Of the mean and cringing pol
icy of the administration of that period.
Had such an outrage been perpetrated
upon British ground, upon British subject,
and sanctioned by the government of those
who committed it, a hundred thousand
British bayonets would have avenged the
cold blooded murder; but, among all the
nations of the earth, our own has been the
most backward in seeking redress for indi-
yidual wrongs inflicted upon her children.
Tis true she is very particular in regard
to her national honor, as bound up in a
few officials at Washington, but it seems
to be settled policy to ''let the boys take
care of themselves" If they get into diff
ficulty, let them get out again; if insulted,
let them bear it; if robbed and plundered,
keep quiet and try it again; if murdered
why, it's not much consequence: plenty
more men in the country.
The burning steamer was cast adrift, and
as she whirled along down the seething
current towards the mighty cataract, some
five or six human beings, who had eluded
the hurried search of the British murderers,
could be seen fitting about amid the roar
ing flames, which now almost wholly en-
veloped the deck in fiery mantle, while
their wild agonizlng screams went up to
Heaven, and rang out on the cold, frosty
air, loud and sbrill, even above the thun-
derlike tones of the falls. ..s.
With cheers and load huzzas the British
butchers returned to their boats and pull
ed for the Canada shore, while the blazing
steamer, with her screaming passengers
roasting to death in those raging flames,
went whirling on down the kissing torrent
for few moments longer, until the brink OF
the vast catering was gained, when, simulta-
neously with the last unearthly yell of the
doomed victims, shot up high into the air
a jet of fame at the sullea plunge, and
then they all were silent. The i'll fated
Caroline was forever gone, with her cargo
of murdered, and the few that survived the
massacre, down into the abyss of wild,
foaming waters.

~ A Glasgow paper gives an account
of the proceedings Of reyivalist at Pals
ley, Scotland, named Brownlow North,
who breaches nightly to crowded audien-
ces, with such power as to throw young
women into Mysteries. After service he
acts as father confessor, and crowds Of wo-
men remain to lay bare their secret
thoughts to him. On one occasion the
confessional was occupied by fair peuitents
till two o'clock in the morning.

Mourning Customs.

All the world are acquainted with the
grandeur of the Roman obsequies and fu-
neral games. The Greeks burnt the corpses
of the distinguished men with funeral feasts
and the Iamentation of hired weepers,
though they generally displayed less
sumptious grief and better regulated piety.
The Persians buried the bodies of the dead ;
the Scythians ate them; the Indians en-
veloped them for preservation's sake in a
sort of locker; the Egyptians embalmed
and dried them, exhibited them on festal
days, placed them at the table among their
guests, guarded them as their most pre-
cious possessions, and loaned and borrow
ed money on these strange pledges. In
ouI time the custom of dancing at funerals
is only practiced in India and among some
savage nations; but funeral entertainments
still prevail in many European countries.
Among others the ceremony of interment
is solemn and SILENT which nevertheless
does not interfere with the wish that all
may be forgotten as speedily rs possible.
We observe more ostentatious rites for per-
sons of consequence. Their carriages fol-
low them to the graves, and sometimes
their horses are paraded, which, having
been made to fast, seem to partake of the
affections of the occasion. The Orientals,
from whom we borrow this custom, went
further-they made the horses in funeral
professions weep, BY blowing a particular
kind of powder up their nostrils.
In Italy the mourning was formerly
white for women, and brown for men. In
China it is white; in Ethiopia, gray. Each
of these colors had originally its mystical
signifcation. White is the emblem OF pu-
rity; celestial blue indicates the space
where the soul ranges after earth; yellow,
or the tinge Of dead leaves, exhibits death
as the end of all human hopes, and man
falling like the leaf of autumn; gray repre-
sents the color of the earth, our common
mother; and black, the funeral custume
now adopted throughout Europe and
America, is an allusion to the night.
In England the sovereign never wears
black; be is clothed in dark purple as
mourning. Till the reign of Charles VIII.
white was the funeral garb in France
The Emperor Leopold, who died in 1904,
used to suffer his beard to grow in disor-
der during the whole period of mourning.
In this he initiated the Jews. The dowa-
ger expresses never left off weeds, and their
apartments were hung with black until
their apartments were hung with black un-
til their death. The Chancellor Of France
is the only person who ever wears mourn
ing. The brothers, nephews and cousins
of popes, never wear it; the happiness of
having pope in the family is too great
to allow them to be affected even by his
death. s1. .o z ersts
Bat the most remarkable of all these
usages is, perhaps, that of the people Of
those ancient nations who dressed them
selves as women when they lost their rela-
tives, in order, it is said, that the ridicule
attached to their yestments might make
them ashamed of their grief.
