OUTRAaEs COMMITTED BY THE VIGILANCE
CoMMITEEEs.-The Franklin (La.) Banner Of
the LIST instant publishes communication
from two highly respectable citizens Of Yer.
millionville, descriptive Of the cruel and bar.
barous treatment Of citizens of that place by
the vigilance committees:
Numerous families are said to be in suf-
fering condition for the want of necessaries of
life by the action Of the vigilants. One man
was taken from the side of his dying child
having lost his wife only week befors-his
hands tied, but subsequently lot of on learn.
ing that he was not guilty Of any crime. An
unofending boy of fourteen years was dread
fully whipped by the vigilants. Nor was this
all. DR.. G. II. Wagner, late justice Of the
peace, and coroner Of the parish, was whipped
in most cruel manner, without having com
mitted the least shadow of an offense, the
charge against him being that, upon the oaths
Of three American citizens, he had ordered
the arrest Of one of the captains of tho vigil
ants.

The AURORA BoREAL1s ExpLAINEp.-A
scientific gentleman thus gives tho origin Of
this celestial visitor: When the melofygistic
temperature of the horizon is such as to calori-
else the impurient identaion of the hemis-
pheric analogy, the cohesion of the borax cur
bistus becomes charged with infnitessimals,
which are thereby deprived Of their fssural
dsquisitions. This effected, q rapid change is
produced in thorabumpter Of the gyasticutis
palerium, which causes a convacular in the
hexgonal antipathies of the tsrrestrium acqua
verusli. The clouds then become o mass of
deodorumised speculm Of cermoculsr light,
which can only be seen when it is visible.

SUNDAY LAW IN PIrsBuRa.-The carriage
driver Of Chief Justice Lowrie, ofthe Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania has been fined $25 at
Pittsburg, for driving his employer to church
on Sunday. The offending driver, it appears,
was employed by the Judge to attend his
garden and drive his carriage, at stipulated
price per month but the mayor decided that
driving to church on Sunday was matter of
convenience, and not a work Of necessity or:
charity, and therefore was violation Of the
law against worldly employment on Sunday,
which law excepts cases of necessity or chari-
ty. The mayors decision decides several
similar cases In that city. ,s-,t, 20, nr
