From the Memphis Avalanche, Sept. %.
A Young Lady Abducted and Her Ravishe1
Skinned Alive.

Three or four days have elapsed since the dark
and horrid transaction narrated below transpir-
ed at or near Fleweling's Cross Roads, Miss.
A young lady of the highest responsibility and
amiable character was proceeding to neighbor' S
house, where party, to which she had been
invited, was given, when she was overtaken by
a negro, and forcibly drawn from the high road
into the woods, her cries stihed by cloth of
some sort pressed over her mouth. Taken to a
secluded and desolate spot, she was tied by the
negro, and there detained for a week. while the
black scoundrel effected his purpose without the
miserable victim being able to offer the slightest
resistance.
Two men who were out hunting unexpected
" came upon her, still tightly bound and alone.
Her captor had left her at the moment, either
to procure food or pursue some other purpose.
Learning from the wretched girl the circum-
stances of the atrocity practiced upon her, they
concealed themselves until he should return.
Nor had they long to wait and upon his coming
they at once seized and secured him. Beliey-
ing that the victim should pronounce sentence
upon him, they awaited her decree. It was to
fay him alive. They at once proceeded with
their hunting knives to relieve him of his cpl
dermis. The forest resoundedi with his cries
and imprecations as they stripped the skin from
the soles of his feet to his body. By the time
they had progressed to his middle, nature could
stand no more, but, completely exhausted,
yielded up the ghost-the monster dying most
horrible death. The girl was conveyed to her
home, where everything was done to relieve her
suffering, but she died the next day in great
anguish
