10 the President and Members
Of the City Council Of Canton
GRNrLEMKN:-During the past month
some delay was caused by the unfavorable
weather. The prospect and progress of
the work warrants us in stating to you that
we win be enabled. by the latter part of
this month, to Introduce through the pipes
water from Myers Lake to different parts
of our city. Five hydrants are already los
Gated; connections can by that time be
made to the main pipes, and the water
used for fire, domestic and manufacturing
purposes. By November first the dam,
race and Holly machinery will be Il fine
working order. The Creator appears TO
have located the lake for the especial ben
eft Of our little city, and at the same time
furnished its shores for upwards of one
thousand feet in the direction of Canton
with a gravel and pebblestone filterer,
through which the water passes from the
lake before it enters the pipe, nOtwithstAnd
ing we have the pipe laid so as to enter
the lake at pleasure.

The New ALBANY TRAGEDY.-lt is
said that the Seymour vigilance com
mittee who went to New Albany and
hanged the Reno brothers, took pos
session of the train after it passed
Jefersonville and ran it to suit them
selves. They left a guard at the train
while they went to the Jail, and when
they returned they took possession
of the train, not allowing the conduc-
tor to enter the car where they were
seated. Every man paid his own fare
The leading spirit in the mob was a
large, portly man, well dressed. and
of commanding personal appearance.
The committee, before leaving Sey-
mOur, took every precaution to pre-
vent any mishap to their raid of death.
They cut and punched the telegraph
wires north Of Seymour. had the ropes
all prepared and ready noosed, and
were provided with sledges, chisels
and such other tools as might be need
ed. These were all carefully con-
cealed under heavy overcoats. OF
the Reno family, four are yet living,
the father, two sons and a daughter.
One son, just released from the Mis-
souri, penitentiary, is reported to be
on the point of returning home. If he
does, it is said he will meet the fate
of his brothers. The other son is said
to be an honest man. The daughter
is represented as a prepossessing young
woman. On being admitted to see
the dead bodies OF her brothers, she,
after an outburst Of grief, dried her
eyes with her handkerchief, then plac-
ed it over the face of her brother Will
liam, who to the last declared his in
nocence; then she kneeled beside the
dead man and laid her left hand over
his heart, and raising her right one
toward heaven, she took this terrible
oath: @Oh, my poor murdered broth
er, may God curse your sister if she
avenge not your death, terribly and
fully. This l will do, so help me God.

TERRIBLE LYNCHING SCENE A
man named Carl Engleman, residing
in the neighborhood OF MacoupinvilIe,
Ill, murdered his wife last week, and
was placed in the jail there. The
Times of the Sd instant, published in
the village, gives an account of the
lynuning Of the murderer in broad
daylight. About one o'clock in the
afternoon about two hundred men
arm" / with pistols and implements,
broke opeu the Jail door, tied the Jail
or and ASST tants, and burst open the
cell ofthe prisoner Engleman by force.
The account says:
"Engleman was fonnd standing up,
ready for his fate, with his coat but
soned to the chin. He spoke not a
word, aud only by turning ashy pale
did he show any sign that he read his
doom in the flushed faces which met
his gaze at the cell door. A rope,
which had been previously prepared,
was now brought forward and the
moose placed over his neck, and he
was hauled by dozen strong hands
rapidly to the door. The whole tran
saction did not occupy more than ten
minutes, but during this time a crowd
Of perhaps two hundred persons had
collected around the Jail yard. As he
was jerked out of the door by the
haltar around his neck, a wild yell
went up. They've got him ! They We
got him! No one, however, cared to
face the demOuiac crowd who had him
In hand, and they at once started at
full speed down Broad street toward
the south part OF the city, dragging
their victim after them, and followed
by a wild crowd. After running about
three blocks, they espied large To-
Gust tree standing in a back yard with
llmD projecting over into the street,
which seemed suitable for their pur-
pose. Here they halted, and pinion-
ing the arms of their victim, one end
of the rope was thrown over the limb
and he was hauled up, 1t was I'M
mediately discovered that the rope
was not properly placed, the knot be-
ing directly under his chin. He was
lowered down, The rope readjusted
and he was again swung up. His ex-
ecutionerS stood by until his death
struggles had ceased, and the spirit
of Carl Engleman had gone to meet
that of his victim, when they separat-
ed for their homes, leaving him hang
irg to the limb. The culprit met his
fate in sullen, dogged stoicism. From
beginning to end he spoke not a single
work.

VISITS FROM A DEAD WIFE.-A pa
per at Monongahela, Pa, vouches for
the truth of the following singular sto
ry: "Not very long ago, the young
and beautiful wife of one of our citi-
zens was called to her final account,
leaving her husband sad, discoaSolate
and bereft. She was buried in the
adjacent cemetery, and the husband
returned to his disconsolate home, but
not to forget his loved one. She was
present with him by day, in spirit, and
in his dreams by night. One peculi-
arity of his dreams, and one that
haunted him-being repeated night
after night-was this: that the spirit
of his wife come to his bedside and
told him that the undertaken had not
removed from her face the square
piece Of muslin or napkin, which had
been used to cover her face after
death; but had screwed down her
coffin lii with it upon her, and that
she could not breathe in her grave,
but was restless on account of the
napkin, He tried to drive the dream
away but it bided with him by night
and troubled him by day. He sought
the consolation of religion, and his
pastor prayed with him, and assured
him that it was wicked to indulge
such morbid fancy. 1t was the sub
iect of his own petition before the
Throne Of Grace; but still the spirit
came and told anew the story of her
5ufocation. In despair he sought the
undertaken Mr.. Dickey, who told him
that the napkin had not been remov
ed, but urged him to forget the circum-
stances, as it could not be any posi-
ble annoyance to inanimate clay
While the gentleman frankly acknOwi-
edged this, he could not avoid the ap-
partition; and continual stress upon
his mind began to tell upon his health.
At length he determined to have the
body Gisinterred, and visited the un-
dertaker for that purpose. Here he
was met with the same advice and per-
suasion. and convinced once more of
his folly, the haunted man returned
to his home. That night more vivid
than ever, more terribly real than be-
fore, she came to his bedside and up
braided him for his want Of affection
and would not leave him until he had
promised to remove the cause of all
her suffering. The next night with a
friend he repaired to the sexton, who
was prevailed upon to accompany
them, and there, by the light of the
cold, round moon, the body was lift
ed from its narrow bed, the napkin
removed from the face of the corpse.
That night she came to his bedside
once more, but for the last time
Thanking him for his kindness, she
pressed her cold lips to his cheek
and came again no more"

Wild Beasts.

Fear of wild beasts, while large for
ests existed in the state, produced
much imaginary and some real suffer-
ing. Bears were very common, and
sometimes very bold. The boldness
of these animals on some occasions is
illustrated by an event in the town of
Addison. Mr. John Strong moved
his family into that town in February,
17T6. He had erected rude hut of
logs in which they lived. During an
evening in September, while Mr..
Strong and some of his neighbors had
gone to Albany to procure provisions,
Mrs. Strong and her children, sitting
about the fire, heard a noise at the
door. Looking towards it, she saw
the blanket, which served instead ola
door, raised up, and an old bear pro-
truding her head into the room.
A pan of milk was on the table, and
camp-kettle of samp had just been
taken from the fire, intended for sup
per. The sight of the fire caused the
bear to start back. Mrs. Strong
caught the baby, and sending the old
er children to the loft, she followed
and drew the ladder after her. The
floor of this loft was made by laying
small poles close together, which gave
ample opportunity to see all that was
passing below. The bear, after re-
connoitering the place several times,
came in with two cubs. They first
upset the milk that had been placed
on the table for supper. The old bear
then made dash at the puddingpot
and thrusting in her head swallowed
large mouthful. and filled her mouth
with another, before she found it was
boiling hot. Giving a furious growl,
she struck the pot with her paw, up
setting and breaking it. She then
set herself up on end, endeavoring to
poke the pudding from her mouth,
whining and growing all the time. -
This was so ludicrOus, the cubs sitting
up on end, one on each side, and won
deriDg what allied their mother, that
it drew a loud laugh from the children
above. This seemed to excite the an
ger Of the beast more than ever. and
with a roar she rushed for the place
where they had escaped up alott.-
This had been covered up when Mrs.
Strong drew up the ladder, and now
commenced a struggle, the bear to get
up, and the mother and children to
keep her down. After many fruitless
attempts, the bear gave it up, and to-
ward morning moved off. After Mr..
Strongs return, door made from
slabs split from the bass-wood and
hung on wooden hinges, gave securi-
ty from like inroads in future. But
few, if any, Of the first settlers were
seriously injured by bears. Bat a
very painful event did occur from an
attack Of wolves. Soon after Ben
nington was settled, several younE la
dies returning on a winters night
from a quilting frolic, were pursued
by pack of wolves. They sought
refuge in some trees, and had hardly
secured themselves among the lower
branches, before the fierce animals
were bowling beneath them. Sudden
ly the limb on which one of the party,
Caroline Mason by name, was stand
ing, broke beneath her weight, and
she fell screaming among the hungry
beasts below, which quickly tore her
in pieces and devoured her.

On Judea's plains once rose the song,
All nature joined the choir;
A Savior's birth employed each tongue,
And struck each angel Tyre.
Our SavjOr came! Our Christ was born !
High hallelujahs sing
o blessed night! o blissful morn!
Let all earth's altars ring!
Father, for this we bless Thy name,
O make our hearts sincere.
Low in the dust to hide their shame,
Thy children now appear.
Like mountains, Lord, Thy mercies are,
Thy love in oceans rolls.
Then watch us with Thy tend'rest care,
And save our sinful souls.
Lost Lost o God-but Thy dear Son
Can save such worms as we.
Then Savior-Jesus-Precious One!
Take-take us home to Thee.
