Let every farmer have his vineyard
as well as his orchard, not painted
with view to selling its products, but
to consuming them in his own family.
1t Is pretty safe to assert that where

guited in long boards and moustaches, sud

manded the Keys. At the time, his sick wife
and his mother. in-law occupied room I'D
4o'ntEg the one in which he was found. See
Ing that nothing could be gained By resist
ance, and knowing that he had done ali he
could to carry out the law, he succumbed to
the mob and surrendered the keys,
After obtaining the keys, the 17uchers, for
such they proved to be, at once repaired to
The cell occupied By the negro. They tound
him secured By heavy chains, which they
we're unable to remove, aud some Of them
went to hard = are store and procured au axe
with which they managed to sever th. chufn
which held him to the floor. They could
do nothing With the chAias about Ills legs,
and impatlently dragged him ont, heavily
