THE HORRID ATROCITIES OF
THE NEGROES.
The Lynehing OF two Negroes at Evans.
willie, Indiana.
HORRIBLE CRIME TERRIBLY ExPIATED.

HORRIBLE CRIME TERRIBLY KxPIATRD.
The two negro brutes who so fendishly
maltreated a white woman on Sunday, fear
fully expiatsd their crime yesterday after
noon.
Early yesterday morning crowd of excl
ted people commenced collecting around the
Court House and Jail demanding that the
prisoners be delivered up to them. The de-
mand was refused, of course, and at noon the
crowd dispersed, and it was hoped that better
ceunsels would prevail and that the guilty
wretches would be left to the regular course
Of law
But, afternoon, the crowd assembled again,
and the excitement had evidently increased,
and coutinued to increase until about half
past three o'clock, when the front door Of the
Jail building was broken open with sedge
hammer, and the crowd rushed into the jail.
How they werereached the prisoners we did
learn, but they soon dragged forth iuto not
the street, beaten down with clubs and shot
After they we're dead they we're taken up
and hanged TO q lamp post on the corner oi
the street, where they were hanging at q late
hour in the evening. They were ultimately,
We learn, taken down and buried
II was the first scene Of the kind ever en-
acted in Evansville, and for the fair fame oil
the city, wa hope it will be the last.
Every one sxecrates the abominable aud
brutal crime committed by the negroes, but
mob law is dangerous remedy for evils oi
this or any kind, and all good citizens deplore
resort to it, and we hope this fearful and
summary punishment will prove such a
warning as that we shall never again hear OF
such O crime in our midst.-Epdnspille Jour.

DAM RLCE'S
MAMMOTH MENAGERIE,
GREAT MORAL EXHIBITION.

Dan Rice taxes peculiar sat -iactlon making the
announcement to the public, that he has succeeded
by didn't ofmuch perseverance, and the exercise Of
persistent determination In placing himself at the
head of an establishment which, while its varied fea-
lures and specales offer
A Source Of Never failing Amusemen and
Entertainment
Is free from ali the Objectionable characteristics
which mark exhibitions OF a promiscuous nature.
IL has been his object for years TO accomplish this
and he now comes before the publc, to whom he
owes all he is, hopes to be, prepared to give the
assurance that the entertainment he offers is at once
amusing, Moral, Instructive, Eleoating and
Refining,
One in which appeal is made to the merely sensu
al Instincts ofour nature but which afio Ids
WHOLESOME PABULUM
To the INTELLECTUAL QUALITIES and while it
gives pleasure, innocent enjoyment and mirth, leads
to reflection and opens to the view
The Wonders OF the Creation,
And impresses us with more enlarged ideas of the
power, design, goodness and Wisdom Of the
GREAT RULER OF THE UNIVERSE
Mr.. Rice also ieels pleasure in being able to say
that he no longer comes before The public as
A MERE JESTER,
Believing that whatever s worth doing at all is worth
one ohering-he endeavored 10 perform his whole
duty and III MI the largest expectations Of his patrons
meeting with an
Unparalleled Success,
And creating, by the exercise OF his
PECULIAR IDIOSYNCRACY,
reputation secured to none, and causing
Burst of Laughter Round the World.
Now while tits far from his purpose to be lugubr-
ous, or EXCLUSIVELY DIDACT1C, he comes Re.
fore h patrons as descriptive and moral lecturer,
IN which capacity IL viii be his aim TO Amuso while
he Teaches, and TO inspire
INNOCENT MIRTH,
While he gives subjects for thought, and furnishes
EnnA
