A HoRRibIE CRi& TERRlBLY ExPI-
ArED.-The two negro brutes, who go
fendishly tnsitreated white woman
on Sunday, faHrfulIy expiated their crime
yesterday afternoon. - Las rel
Early yesterday moaning crowd of
excited people commenced collecting
around the Court House and Jail, de-
manding that the prisoners be delivered
up to them. The demand was refused,
of course, and At noon the croWd dis
perssd, and st was hoped that better
connsels, would prevail and that the
guilty wretches would be left to the re-
gular course of law. = = -
But, after noon, the crowd assembled
again, and the excitement bad evident
~ increased, and continued to increase
until about 81 o'clock, when the front
door Of the JAN building was broken
open with a sledge hammer and the
ero&d rushed into the jail. How they
reached the prisoners we did not learn,
but they were soon dragged forth into
the street, beaten down with clubs and
shot
After they we're dead they were taken
up and hanged TO lamp post on the
corner Of the street, where they were
hanging at a late hour in the evening.
They were ultimately, we learn, taken
down and buried.
Il was the first scene, Of the kind, ever
enacted in Evansville, and for the fair
fame Of the city, we hops it viii be the
last.
Every ore execrates the abominable
and brutal crime committed by the ne
groes, bnt mob law is dangerous RENE
dy for evils of this or any kind, and
all good citizens deplors. resort to it,
and we hope thisMmarfa nd summary
punishment win Beh warning
IS that we shall never again hear Of
such crime in our midst. s 2a

PROPHECY ABOUT CHRrsTMAs.-This year Christmas

nosticates:-
If Christmas day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and shrill;
But in the Summer, truth to tell,
Stern winds shall there be and strong.
Full of tempests and lasting long;
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty of beasts shall die:
He shall be found that stealeth aught,
Though thou be sick thou diest not.
