On Friday night last body ofmen, about Is in
number, surrounded the jailin Lexington and FIVE,
presenting themselves, aroused the jailor, telling
him they had a prisoner to put in Jail. He came
out aad surrounded speedily by armed men
who demanded the keys to the cell Of the negro
Edwards, who had committed rape upon the per-
son of Miss Hite, near Fairfield, and then murder
ed her. With this he was forced to comply and
the negro was taken out and conveyed to spot,
four miles this side of Lexington, where he was
hung. Who did it is mystery. The negroes
of Rockbridge, we learn, were as much incensed
against Edwards as were the whites.

Two weeks since we noticed the loss by fire of
the dwelling of Mr.. R D. Hensley, near WayDes-
boro'. which was insured for about one ha If its
value in the Southern Mutual Insurance Company
Of Richmond, Va.
We now publish the following certificate Of
Mr.. Hensley:
Near Waynesboro, Va,
June 9th, 1869.
Whereas did Insure in the Southern Mutual
Insurance Company of Richmond, Va, my Dwell
ling and Household Furniture therein, against
loss or damage by fire or lightning, as per poll
cy No: llh3, dated on the 10Th day Of May 1859
and whereas my Dwelling and Furniture afore-
said was destroyed by fire on the 26th day of
May 1869,
Now this is to certify that the said company.
oy, ); D. Calvert, general agent, has this day ad-
Justed and settled my loss by said fire, in accor-
dance with the terms and conditions of the poll
cy insured ny said company, and to my entire
satisfaction.
return my sincere thanks to the officers of the
company for its timely assistance and also cheer
fully recommend it to my friends and nepbbors
as safe and reliable company
..s...,-4..5 R. D. HENsLEY
FROM this 1t will be seen that in one week from
the time Mr., Hensley insured, his house took fire
and burned down. On the 9Th of June follow
ing just l3 days thereafter the General Accent of
the Southern Mutual Fire Insurance Comnanv
Maj. J. $ Calvert, came forward, adjusted and
paid to Mr.. Hensey the amount of his insurance.
This exhibits, in practical manner the relia-
blity and promptness of the Southern Mutual
Company. The accident, happening in our very
midst, should induce every property owner to in
sure at once. The promptness exhibited by this
company should likewise induce every one to Sc
lcct it as the one in which to insure.
Our friends in the country should by all means
insure their dwellings, barns &c. If they take
fire, nine cases out of ten they will be destroyed
This would be a great incon venience these times
and we advise one and all to provide against it
by insuring. We recommend the advice of Mr..
Hensley to one and all. Call on the agents of the
Southern Mutual and Insure at once. See ad
vertisement in another column
