FIENDIsH OUTRAGE By 4NEGRo.-On
Friday night last Mr.. Francis Henry
Brockenbrough, son Of the Hon. John W.
Brockenbrough, and brother of our highly
esteemed townsman, Major j. B. Broken
brough, was walking home, in Lexington,
with his mother and another lady, when
they were met by q negro man and some
negro women, who refused to give them any
way on the pavement. Young Broken
brough, on account of the ladies under his
charge, did not call the negro to account at
the time but after he had escorted his
companions home he returned and called on
the negro, more to demand why the insult
had been offered him and the ladies than
with any definite purpose of punishment.
The black scoundrel, however, drew pistol
at once, and shot Mr.. Brockenbrough in the
breast, inficting dangerous if not fatal
wound. The negro was arrested at 2 o'clock
next morning, and placed in Jail. When
the circumstances of the outrage became
generally known, there was an intense ex-
element in the community, in which young
Brockenbrough is much beloved, and a
crowd started for the jail with the purpose
of lynching the negro. General Lee, how
ever, very properly interposed and pre-
vented the execution of this purpose. The
excited crowd dispersed, and the law will be
suffered to take it's rse.-Lynch6atrg ne

A LOCOMOTIVE STRUCK By LIGHTNING
On Friday last during the hail-storm that
visited this section the eastward bound
train on the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw
railway-George Boies conductor, and c..
A. Martin engineer-had just left Ell Paso
as the storm struck it. When about mile
and half east Of that city the lightning
struck telegraph pole. Instead of scat
tering it and going to the ground, it burst
the insulator, making a blaze of light !;
passed on the wire to the next insulator,
and burst that, with another blaze Of light
asintense, o looker-on informs us, as o thou
sand gas jets, and 80 on for five poles. 1t
then ran down one pole and leaped to the
track, and ran back without doing any
damage until it struck the engine. 1t ran
up one of the drivers, and burst section Of
two feet out Of the solid tire, and passing
along the boiler without doing any damage,
it reached the lever, and went upwards
with o blaze Of light similar to that on the
telegraph wire, and with. q defamation like
q small cannon. So intense was the light,
and 80 violent was the shock, that the engi-
neer was nearly blinded and almost stun
ned. Our informant says that the appear
ance Of the light on the track and on the
wires was brilliant beyond conception. 1t
looked as if there was an immense lake of
fire ahead, into which the train was about
to plunge, and the contrast between the
light and the ordinary daylight that fol-
lowed seemed as great as that between the
brightest day and the darkest night.-Peoria

heavy fall Of snow yesterday. The noun
tains and high hills were covered with Q

snow which remained on many Of them,
gave the country the look ,ofisNoyember
rather than May. The season seems to be

our readers in this vicinity, it has been dry
as well as cold. This is the general COM

The court found the accused guilty, and
sentenced him to be reduced to the ranks,
and to forfeit to the United States ten dol
lars per month Of his monthly pay. Gene
raj Emory has approved the sentence, and
says:
The sentence awarded is evidently
founded upon the belief that the accused
had no malicious intent in writing the let
ter contained in the charge against him, of
which he has been found guilty, and that
he merely intended practical joke. Con-
curing in this view, the sentence is APP
proved, and will be duly executed; and it is
hoped it will serve as warning that jokes
upon matters of that kind, calculated to
disturb the public peace, may not be again
attempted. "-Stor.
