TAR AND FEATHERS.-A Kokoma CORES
pondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel tells
the following story:
New London, ten miles west of here, in
this county, was the scene OF novel trausac-
tion on yesterday evening" One DIR. j. l..
Fuller, practising physician and local preach
er, had long been suspected of holding sweet
converse with one Sarah Stevens, CAV wild
ow Of about forty-fve years of age. The
wife of DIR. Fuller, who by the way is a very
estimable lady, became jealous of them some
two years ago, and by reason of said jealousy
became insane, and has been for near two
years under treatment at the insane bosnital
About two months since she was retn,nad
home restored, and, in company with Sheriff
Taylor, went to her residence. Her husband
refused TO let her remain, and she was forced
to seek home with her married daughter.
On last evening she went to the home of her
nusoana a. ,or the purpose of seeing her chill
dren. Ihere are five remaining at home.
Upon appearing at the door, she was eject
ed by the brutal husband, and her package OF
clothing kicked by him from the doorstep
The neighbors, hearing the noise, at once raj
| lied, and upon learning the cause, TOOK the
| gentleman aside. and, after some pretty rough
| treatment, stripped him naked save his pan
| falcons, and treated him to coat OF tar and
feathers. While the male portion of the
town was thus engaged, the female portion of
| the inhabitants had proceeded to the resi-
| dence OF the widow and administered to her
similar treatment. After they were both
thoroughly coated, they were then taken and
placed astride on two rails, and carried side
| by side down to the main street.
Mobs are very rarely if ever justifiable, but
there are some cases where the law fails IN
meet the demands Of justice. If there ever
was case that could be justified, this is Ger.
tainly one. The conduct of the doctor and
widow had been indecent and outlandish for a
long time, so much so that repeated threats
have been made to resort to the course finally
pursued. The little children OF Fuller worked
all summer, and raised fine supply of vege-
tables for the family, but they were taken by

Life In Nowfo midland +,

In one respect Newfoundland bears a snik-
ing resemblance to Ireland, the Fatherland of
nearly half its population-instances of the
extremes OF poverty are frequently encoun-
tered. A visitor to St, Johns is at once struck
with the large proportion of poor people he
meets, in walking about its streets-people
who are not beggars, but whose appearance
Enthusiastically indicates extreme indulgence,
Not long since had occasion to visit Pouch
Cove, fishing village sixteen miles north of
st. Johns. The bulk of the inhabitants
found in tolerably comfortable circumstances,
as things are rated among our fishermen, last
year having been an unusually good season,
and the cost Of provisions being very moder-
ate. Still the style of living would seem, to .
Canadian or an American, poor enough. 1
chauced to find one family at dinner, their
meal consisting of potatoes, dried capelin,
and the never failing cup OF tea. The little
fish called capelin, whom slightly salted and
dried, furnishes "relish" but little or no nu-
triton. The price of Goldfish is now so high
(s41-2 per quintal,) that, like the Irish peas
ant with his pork, the Newfoundland fisher
man cannot afford to keep any Of it almost,
for winter use. 1t is becoming more and
more luxury for his betters. He parts with
his whole catch to the merchant, and with
the proceeds lays in a stock of -four, biscuit,
tea and molasses for winter consumption.
Only those who are better off than their
neighbors can afford barrel or two of pork.
Tea sweetened with molasses, biscuit, or flour
cakes, with potatoes and dried capeln for din
ner, constitutes the chief part of their diet.
Their stock of potatoes is usually soon ex-
hausted, and then they have "molasses tea"
three times day, with finty biscuit, and oft
en- very scanty allowance OF this poor, un-
wholesome diet.

on the Boston and Albany railroad, near Shak-

the Shaker community who was bent on sui

was greatly enraged at having his life saved.
When asked who he was, he declared himself
Napoleon Bouaparte, and raved incohere atty
about the fallen Emperor. He was dressed

employees.

S. B. Ward E>q., writes to them from
Balley's Harder that Mr. NJ Kilgore's pier
st that place, went down last "Wednesday
night with about 500 cords of wood on it.
The loss, including wood aud pier, will be
about 5000 Ii is hardly probable that
much OF the wood will be saved owing to
the difficulty of getting at it. Tie cause
of the accident was the weight of the wood
being too much for the pier to sustain =
The wood belonged to different parties at
the Harbor who each had from 10 to 10 cords
and they will severely icel their loss. The
par, which broke down had only been fin
