LYNCH LAVA MELANCHOLY CASE
A young man, who had been living i'm this
town in the employ of liveryman on Wal
nut Street, and whose mother lives in Ed
dyville, got on the Eastern bound coach at
Rising Sun on Monday evening last
When the coach reached Pella, one Of the
passengers discovered that his pocket had
been picked, and that he had lost all his
money, amounting to $500. From some
cause or other, suspicion was fastened on
the young man from Des Moines. He WIS
arrested and searched; hut as no money
was found on his person. except the pitiful
sum Of four dollars and five cents, he was
dismissed, and went his way tn Eddyville.
Shortly after his departure several persons
i'm Pella expressed their conviction that he
was the thief, Notwithstanding his appa-
rent innocence. He was sent for, and
brought back to Eddyville. He was per-
fectly submissive, and seemed to manifest
no great indignation Mt the violence with
which he was treated. 1t was determined
or fifty, surrounded him. seized him. en-.
circled his neck with a rope, suspended
him, and kept him hanging for a much
longer time than the purposes even of or
dinary lynching required. He was AT
length taken down, and fell limp and life.
less to the floor. 1t was believed that he
was Possuning, and he was questioned
and even kicked; but he showed no signs
of life. A bystander finally placed a fin.
ger to his wrist, and no pulse was percep-
tihle. Then there was general scare. A
doctor was summoned who announced his
opinion that the mans spine was seriously
injured. The next morning At five O'Clock
when we last heard from him he was ly.
ing in the same insensible condition In
which he was found when the rope wa,
taken from his neck.

DISMAL DRoPPINGs.-Suchd days as we
have had during the past week were
enough to make one long for the Elysian
fields where thin and glittering mist,
like silver breath, floats from fowery
fields, and where sweetly warbling birds
never tire Of their melody or of their
bright plumage reflected in cleaning
lakes. These dismal droppings, however,
are enough to plant the seeds ofdiptheria
and consumption everywhere. They are
like neither winter or summer. They do
nothing but fill rain-water pipes and FUR
n;sh common sewers with an ample suf-
flciency. To realize the genuine Old
fashioned Christmas weather, the snow
leaves sbould thickly descend and cushion
the ground with their white foliage.
