A terrible affair transpired in the ordina-
rily quiet little village of BrunerstOwn, in
this county, some twelve miles from the
city, on Thursday, which caused the great
est excitement, and resulted in the death of
a negro at the hands of an Infatuated mob.
The facts, as we have been able to learn
them, are these: A little daughter Of a Mr..
Humble, who resides in the village, of about
nine years of age, had gone out to play as
usual, on Thursday afternoon, and while
near her fathers residence was enticed away
by a negro named James, who formerly be-
lOnged 10 Mr.. Leb. Dorsey, who abused her
person in a most savage and outrageous
manner. The poor child was found and
taken home in pitiable condition and a
number Of citizens at once started TO search
for the black fiend. He was quickly found
and brought to the edge of the town, where
large and excited crowd had gathered,
and preparations were at once made to hang
him.
While these were in progress Mr.. Hum
bic, the father of the child, came running
up, revolver in hand, and forcing his way
through the crowd attempted to shoot the
negro. The caps on the pistol snapped
twice, and the crowd having quickly given
way in front Of the revolver and behind the
negro the latter turned and ran for his life.
But fight was useless. The crowd started
after him, opening a fire from dozen re
volvers on him, and he was soon shot dead.
Squire Watts was then sent for and held au
inquest on the body, the jury returning a |
verdict in accordance with the above facts. |

The Tribune says the Germans of the
Union States feel desire to give express
sion to their sympathy with the present
popular movement in Germany, and to pro-
mote the establishment of a German repub-
lie as the only salvation of the Teutonic
question.
A meeting of the kind was held in this
city yesterday, and is expected to be fol-
lowed by others of equal interest.
