Inhuman Ereoution in Missouri.

The st. Louis Times of recent date con-
tains the particulars of the inhuman cxecu>
ton by mob, in Warrensburg, No., of
THOMAS W. LITTLE, son of Mr.. John Howe
Little, formerly of this county. The follow
ing is the statement as presented by the
Times -
Thomas W. Little and Fred. Myers were
arrested in st. Louis on their way South, on
the 10Th day of May, 1867 charged with COM
plicity with the late bank robbery and OUT
rage, at Richmond, in Ray County. They
were taken without warrant. on the order of
Gov. Fletcher, communicated by telegraph,
aud sent, not to Ray County, but to johnson
County, aud placed in the hands of mob
calling themselves a vigilance committee
We have the statement of Mr.. George Wash
ingtOn that Little aud Meyers were in the
hands this mob, and by them confined in
the county Jail at Warrensburg, ON Monday,
Sd inst. The Jail was closely guarded, aud
Mr.. Washington, in company with the mother
and sister of Little, was permitted to commu-
nicate with him thro' the grating of the win
dow. Upon obtaining from the prisoner the
names of persons residing in Dover, Lafayette
County, who would testify that at the time of
the Richmond outrage he was in Dover, and
could not have participated in that act, with
the assurance from Little's jailors that he
would be held till his friends could return
from Dover with the necessary proofs, and
that as soon as the testimony of one respOn-
sIble person should establish his innocence he
should be released, Mr.. Washington, accom-
panied by the brother of Little rode over to
Dover and returned, after having travelled
about one hundred miles, about midnight on
the 4th. with the affidavits of several persons
of we'll attcsted character and standing, to the
effect that both Little and Meyers were in
Dover and not in Richmond on the day of the
outrage. Mr.. Washington was assured he
would be heard in the morning on behalf of
his friend, and retired to rest.
about five o'clock in the morning Little
was taken out of the Jail and hanged Just in
the edge of Warrensburg. He had on his per-
son at the time his parole as confederate SOL
dier and prisoner of war, which guaranteed
him protection both in person and property
Little was likewise charged with the rob-
berry of a Mr.. Fitzgerald, but on being con-
trOnted with Mr.. Fitzgerald the latter stated
he was not the person."
Mr., Washington produced number of affi-
davits procured in Dover in support of Titles
innocence. The Times comments with seve-
rity upon Gov. Fletcher for placing Little in
the hands of an excited mob, and says:
Nothing can excuse the Warrensburg
mob nothing can excuse Governor Fletcher
tor completely, nor any amount of PREPARATION
wipe out the wrong. An innocent man has
been tOully aud muIderOusly deprived of life
and by men who are the sworn administra-
tors Of the law. The documents which we
publish elsewhere are the indisputable proofs
OF u foul crime Of which Governor Fletcher
cannot wholly wash his hands"

Sabbath School Exhibitions.
Within the past week the Sabbath School
connected with the NJ E Church, South, of
CharlestOwn. favored the public with two ex-
hibitiOns, which Tor perfection of arrange
ment, appropriateness of programme, and
beauty of execution, stand unsurpassed by any
entertainments ever given in our town, aud
which, We are proud to say, were attended
with success commensurate with their mer-
its, The satisfaction afforded by the first ex-
hibitiOn, which was held ON Tuesday evening,
induced the managers to repeat the exhibi-
tien on Friday evening, when the house was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Unable to
present anything more appropriate, we copy
from our neighbOr, the Free Press, an account
of the first exhibition, and win only add that
the second was but a successful repetition of
the frst-with only slight variation of the
programme =
Owing to the perseveriug efforts Of the OF
fcers OF the Sunday School, chiefly the La
dies, the decorations were most appropriat ate
and beautiful. GA entering the Church the
eyes Ofthe spectator were attracted by an Arch
extending over the stage, adorned with Ever
greens, aud with the Notices, in large letters
of green:-
'AND ALL THY CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT
Or THE LoRDj"
And "OF SUCH Is THE KINGDOM OF HEA-
VEN" arranged on it in perfect taste. From
this arch depended the painted curtain-used
on former Occasion-which is the work of
one of our tOwnsmen, displaying rare artistic
skill. Below the curtain and Illuminated
with fine effect by foot lights was the inscrip-
ton, blessed are the pure IN heart" The
galleries were testOoued with evergreen hang
ing, wreaths and many colOred flowers, while
the Scriptural texts-"Peace be within thy
Walls and Prosperity within thy Gates. -
and "Feed my Lambs with the words
%'Truth, PCS Love, Hope interspersed among
the decorations gave an additional interest to
the scene. The Cross, Star aud Anchor were
examples of skill, ingenuity and taste such
rs have been seldom seen in our cOmmuni-
ty.
