FItIGHTFUL ~BARBARITY.
A Child Three Years Old Whip
ped to Death.

A Presbyterian clergyman named
Lindsey has been arrested at Medina,
N. T., for whipping his little boy to
death. The child, who would have
been three years old in August, refused
to say his prayers when ordered to do
so by his step-mother. The father
then administered the cruel and fatal
punishment above mentioned. The
following is the fathers testimony be.
fore the Coroner's jury:
On the 18th of June the child DISC
beyed his %step-mother, and | common
ced correcting him, using a single for
the purpose, and continued to chastisc
him for more than tVo hours, when the
child began to show signs of debility,
and | ceased to punish him and laid
him on a couch, and called my wife.
When she saw the child she said he was
dying, and before twelve O'Clock he was
dead.
The Coroner's jury returned a yer.
dict that death resulted from chas-
tlsement by the father
The Rochester Union says;
The body of the child told more
plainly and emphatically than words
could, the terrible punishment it had
undergone. Several of its fingers were
broken and the nails knocked Off; the
skin was abrased, and the blood had
oozed from every pore. 70 conceal
the crime the father tied the little ones
hands behind its back, and himself
placcd it in its collin. While physi-
Clans W, re making post mortem cxami-
II ,tion of the body, he sat by, coolly
looking at the proceedings. After a
while he spoke, and asked them if they
had not carried "this thing about far
enough" The physicians discovered
no disease about the child-it died
solely from excessive and cruel pun.
iShment.
We are told that Lindsey justifes
his horrid work. He thinks it was his
duty to punish the child until his will
was broken and he obeyed. Lindsey
was arrested and committed to Jail. 1t
was with the utmost difficulty that the
officers who had him in charge could
keep the citizens of Medina and neigh
borhood from lynching the murderer
IN the spot. Lindsey is a man about
five feet eight inches in hight, well pro-
DortiOned, has black whiskers and dark
complexion. He has the appearance of
4 man of violent temper. AS to his
character hitherto we know nothing
against him. He has n farm, and is re-
ported to be a man of some means He
has not charge of an established
church, but breaches occasionally-is
what is called a mission clergyman.

Ierrible Affair in Arkansas.

III p. ----
Two Citizens of Fayetteville Killed by
Desperadoes-One Of the latter Commits
Suieidc--Tht Other Still at Large.
From the Fort Smith Herald, l2th.l
We learn from Mr.. Thos, T, Brown,
Of Washington county. who was in
town last week, that on Saturday, the
18th inst, a man arrived in Fayetteville
in the stage, and informed the Sheriff.
and two other persons, that there were
four men who would be in town short
ly, from Missouri, who had killed an
Old man, robbed a store and grocery,
and that he had raised a company and
pursued them, but failing to overtake
them, he had taken the stage and came
on ahead. Pretty soon the four men
rode into town, got off their horses,
hitched them, and one went into the
store of Mr.. Stone, and the three others
went into a grocery to take a drink
Before they had time to take q drink,
the Sheriff, Clerk of the Court, Mr.
Reed, Mr.. Wing, Postmaster, and Col
Gunter, went into the grocery to arrest
them. Mr.. Wing said to them, gen
tlemen, you may consider yourselves
prisoners. With that one of the men
called out to the Others to "shuck
themselves" and with that each of
them drew two r~evolvers and com
menced firing.
Mr.. Wing, the postmaster, was shot
dead, and the'man who came in pur-
suit was shot under the chin in the
throat, and he died in a few minutes,
and Col. Gunter was shot i'm the arm,
SCATTERING the bone. The three men
retreated out Of the door, still firing as
they went out, and by this time the
citizens had collected, and an attempt
was made to arrest the desperadocs,
but as they were armed and most ofthe
citizens were not, they all made their
escape. A posse of men Immediately
started in pursuit ofthem. They found
one Of the men sitting, leaning against
a tree, having been shot through the
abdomen. The party told him they
would bring him an ambulance, and
take him to town, but when they re-
turned they found him dead, he having
cut his throat and stabbed himself in
several places. The other three men
were heard ofin the neighborhood of
Elm Spring, one being badly wound
ed in the knee. Our informant did
not state who shot these desperadocs,
but we presume some of the party must
have been armed and fired on them, or
perhaps some of the citizens fired as
they were %retreating.
Col. Gunter's arm is shattered above
elbow, and, it is thought, will have
+, be amputated.
