= The Reno brothers and Charles Ander-
son, charged with robbing the Adams Ex-
press Company, and held for trial in the
jail at New Albany, Indiana, were hung
last Saturday by a vigilance committee,
said to hail from Seymour, Indiana. At
3 o'clock in the morning they proceeded
to the Jail and demanded admission, which
was refused by the jailor. He was, how
ever, soon overpowered and tied. The
watchman was then compelled to open the
cells of the notorious express robbers,
John, Frank and Simon Reno, and Chas,
Anderson, who were Immediately seized
upon and all four hanged. Frank Reno
fought desperately for his life. Charles

Government that they should have fair
trial, and if found innocent be returned to

MiddIeto>vn Academy.

DEAR EDITOR OF TRANSCRIPT The
present Term of our pleasant school has
nearly passed, yet not one word have we
heard about it in your paper, and we be-
gin to think it quite time that the people
should know that there is such an Institu-
ton as the Middletown Academy and that
school is going on in it.
We were almost afraid last Fall that we
should not have any school this Winter, as
the Trustees were so long in securing
Teachers, but were happily disappointed
in that regard when we learned that Mes
srs. Hicks Il Wood were in town and about
to open our school. They commenced on
very short notice, consequently. with a
small number of students, only ten, be-
lieve-but our number has gradually in
creased until now we can count between
forty and fifty in regular attendance.
We take a good deal of interest in our
studies; SO much SO, that we do not like
to lose single recitation. There are a
number of classes in some of the higher
branches, such as Latin, French, Geome-
try, Algebra, Bookkeeping, &c.
Once in three weeks now we have a gen.
eral good time, for our paper, g The Star"
comes out and shines brilliantly among us.
The boys speak pieces, besides we have
singing. There have been as yet, but
three numbers of our Star. The first was
edited by Miss Mollie Blackiston, the sec.
ond by Miss Kate Pennington, the third by
Misses Lizzie Buckle and Fannie Howell.
On these public occasions we have been
favored with some company, which, of
course, adds to the interest We were
glad that you took notice of the Star in
your last number, and most heartily will
accept of an exchange if you can tolerate
its doctrines which you perceive by the
gender of its editresses to be an advocate
of woman's rights. However, we will
agree not to be at all radical on the sub
ject. We have had three spelling matches
this Term. On Nov. 20th, the honor of
spelling the school down was awarded to
Mr.. Frank @. West ON Dec. 4th, to Miss
Kate Pennington; on Dec. 11th, to Miss
Lizzie Buckle
The Term closes Dec. oath The last
two days are to be given up to public ex-
aminations in all the studies pursued dur
ing the Term.
After a weeks vacation the Winter
Term will begin. l expect then that our
numbers will be greatly increased.
Yours, truly, ANON.

Thrice welcome, blest morningl 1--WE hail thee
When light from the hills Of Judea, afar,
Broke the gloom which enshrouded our world
with its sadness,
And seers Of the East gazed on Bethlehem s
star
W hen music from heaven on earth broke in beauty,
And sPeace and good will'' to mankind were
proclaimed;
And wondering shepherds, exalting in duty,
Rejoiced when 'JEsUs' the infant was named.
O. bright rose the sun of that new dawning NOR
row.
Der the valleys and hills that laughed out with
delight; ,...-
While cold tears were dried on the pale cheeks Of
sorrow,
And eyes that were dimmed became lustrous
n and bright.
Twas the springtime of feeling; the grey-beard-
ed sire
Forgot in that hour his staff and his crutch;
The minstrel, unconsciously bent o. er his lyre
And its strings softly thrill'd to his tremulous
touch
Then mothers, who mourned DER their young in
their sumbers, a
(The sleep of the gravel beheld light midst the
gloom; a.
And wailings were changed into melody's num-
bers,
As "Hope'' threw her first fadeless flowers on
the tomb.
The cradle-rock'd d infant SO quietly sleeping,
Its dreams, like its life, free from trouble and
guile,)
Seem'd holy communion with bright angels keep
ing,
AS its soft little cheeks dimpled into smile.
The suffering, tost on the beds of afliction,
Were eased of their pains as in anguish they
lay; t4 tA
And, dying seers' lips breathed the lofty predic-
ton,
OF the glorious future while passing away.
The storm, which the far-distant ocean was
wreathing,
Evoking the wrath of the cavernous deep,
Grew tranquil and calm as a tired childs breath
ing.
When iullcd on the fond mothers bosom, to
sleep.
DEATH trembled He knew that his lance would
be broken
The GRAVE, on whose banner, Sin, "vIcrony'
wrote,
Heard the word which ere long, to the dead
should be spoken,
When the standard of 'LIFE" o'er its ruins
should float
Twas then the deep dungeons of darkness re-
sounded
With the shrieks of the fallen, as fettered they
While spirit on spirit glared wildly, confounded,
AS they gazed from their gloom on the light of
that day.
But in heaven lin heaven lin heaven, the story
Was pealed with rapture before never known,
As there fash'd on the brow of each seraph a
glory
Reflected, and caught from the crystalline
throne.
Hail Jesus the Saviour Our glad hearts would
greet thee
Receive thee, as now our meet homage we pay
o come to our temples and homes, we entreat
thee,
And bless with thy presence this festival day
