Cincinnati was recently in tears over the
sad fate Of aycung girl who was abducted and
ruined at one Of the hotels of that city, by
pilot OF q river steamer. 1t now seems tnat
the girl was not so terribly imposed upon as at
first asserted. For when the clerk and the
proprietor, discovering that all was not right
in the room occupied by the pilot, attempted
az entrance, the lively young woman jumped
from the window on a skylight and ran across
to the other wing, where she prevailed upon an
old gentleman to take her in and secrete her
nnder his bed. There she was found, rather
shamelaced. The affair will come into court,
and it is said that certain preacher there
abouts is implicated more than the pilot.
One peculiar feature OF Lima life, says
correspondents is the employment Of large,
clean looking dogs in the capacity of errand
dogs, and for the conveyance OF small parcels.
These dogs are often accompanied by small
boy, and are fitted out with panniers of leather
or wicker, fastened 70 each side, in the same
manner as the donkeys are loaded. These
dogs are hired out by their owners, and are
mostly employed by the small trimming stores,
although I have seen them employed by butch
ers, and also by bakers, to carry fresh bread
or meat every morning to customers. They
are said to be very excellent servants, and they
go trotting about the streets very sagaclous
and digniied in demeanor.
An exhibition ofLynch law at Seymour,
Ind, has been mentioned in our telegraphic
columns. Three desperadoes had confessed to
an attempt to rob the through car Of the
Adams Express Company on the Jefersonville
and Indianapolis Railroad, and also admitted
their determination to kill the guards on the
train if found necessary to accomplish their
purpose. On the evening Of the Goth instant
the train which contained the criminals and
the officers who held them in custody, was
stopped near Seymour by 8 crowd Of intensely
excited citizens who had sresorted to the sub
terfuge Of placing red light on the track
No sooner had the train come to stand
STILL than the bulk OF the so-called Vigilance
Committee, who were concealed In thicket
near BY, boarded and took possession Of
the train, overpowered the guards, and re-
moved the prisoners to terra frnaa. The poor
wretchea seemed to fully comprehend what
was to be done. Five minutes we're given them
in which to prepare for death, while the. exc
cuticners, with grim earnestness, placed the
fatal moose about their necks. They at first
begged FOR. mercy. but finding it in vain, they
concluded to make confession, and while
standing in this fearful position, the unfortu-
nate. men confessed to the whole affair, and
also admitted their knowledge Of the celebrat-
ed Marsh6eld robbery, committed some
months ago on the Louisville and indianapolis
Railroad, each blaming the other two, and de-
nying any personal connection with the sape.
For the purpose of receiving this confession,
the time was extended to half an hour, at the
end Of which the ropes were drawn, and these
wretched desperadoes, covered with crime,
were launched into eternity. The crowd thea
quietly dispersed. - 80.
