ExTERMISATloy.-Durin the month of Febru-
airy, great many of those desperadoes whose
deeds had made the States and Territories on
the Pacific coast the theater of scenes of blood
shed and horror that disgraced humanity, have
been exterminated, were hung by the people in
violation Of law, but in strict accordance with
justice. We have the records of the execution
of upwards of twenty of these ruffans, in Idaho
alone four others met the fate in this Ter
ritory, and several others in California besides
great many others whose names have not been
recorded. This determination of ruffianism has
had very salutary effect on the yet unhung
members of the swarm of wretches who have so
long held high carnival on this coast Virginia

TENNESSEE GIRL a LAUGHABLE PREDIcA-
MENT.-The Memphis Bulletin relates the follow
ing, and vouches for its truth A laughabe,
yet notifying incident occurred at merry
making in the upper part of the city. recently.
Music and dancing were the order of the evening
at q residence, where some twenty couples had
congregated to pass pleasant evening. In
der to make room for the dancers stove was
removed from the ROOM and the hole by which
the pipe passed through the second floor covered
by small piece of thin board 1t so happened
unfortunately, that the pipe had been held in its
place by small bit of tin which had the aper-
ture cut in the middle. The upper apartment
in which the man-trap was situated, was used
by the ladies as sort of retiring room, to which
they repaired whenever they wished to rear
range their disordered garments, smooth their
tresses, re-powder heir checks. Late in the
evening, buxom lass Of sweet sixteen and of
full proportions rushed hastily into this room to
improve her toilet when, as fate would have it.
she placed her dainty foot, and her one hundred
and sixty, avoirdupois upon the aforesaid weak
and treacherous board As YOU have already
anticipated, it gave away with a crash. and down
she came, driving her pretty leg through the
orlhce, far above the knee and what is worse
than all, the jagged edges of the tin would not
allow her to Withdraw it. The merry groups
down stairs were startled by the appartion of a
neatly stockinged, finely tapered leg, hanging
above their heads, between the upholstered
joists of their extempore dancing hall. There
were screams and confusion the part of the
ladies, and rushing up to their unfortunate
sister, while the others turned the other way of
course. To be sure the exhibition would have
been considered all right in the ballet but this
did not happen to be in the ballet. To make the
matter as brief as possible we would add that a
pair of timers shears were brought into requi
stion before the damsel was released. Although
her distress and confusion would not permit of
her appearing again that evening, the remainder
of the party continued their festivities until the
small hours.
