cooking this vegetable, furnished by Mrs.

Take six egg. plants, cut lengthwise
Through the stem as welD, and soak them
them half an hour in salt and water boil
until tender it is a good plan to score
them slightly around the edges before boil

carefully so as not to injure the skins,
which will be hollow, with q handle like an
eyal frying pan. Take about d pound of
light bread (sorae prefer more some lessl.
soak in water until soft, and then squeeze
out, mix with the contents of the egg plant.

with salt, red pepper pods chopped, and one
minced onion. Put in q frying. pan with d
large spoonful of lard, and stir the mixture
ever the fire until the lard is well mixed
in then pack The mixture in the skins
that have been emptied- Brown and roll
bread crumbs, and sprinkle thickly over
the top of each, put q few specks Of lard

Poor Puss.-We ara all tore up yet from
the effects OF a terrible skirmish, in which we
were badly beaten, and forced to retreat in
Dad order some time ago. 1t happened this
wise, or as near thusly as our confused recol-
lection enables Us to describe. We were
walking leisurely along the side walk, deeply
absorbed in meditation upon the probability
of delinquent subscribers reaching heaven,
when all at once an explosion near our right
ear, caused US to stand nveted to the spot, in
an attitude of extreme petrlfaction. We SIN
cerely believed that one of J0ve's thunderbolis
mad bursted within six teet of the ground, and
we had run plumb into the excitement. As
soon as we regEined our vision, We discovered
the form OF what appeared 10 be feminine
woman, but so convulsvd with pent up wrath
as to disguise the original proportion. We
turned TO dee from impending danger, but the
gentle creature bAde US stay, and we stayed
She opened her mouth, the substance OF hel
remarks was, that we had noticed, at various
umes, when drfferent ones had left town, Of
when strangers were here, bat she had never
been the recipient OF similar honor, and il
was too bad, 6c. It was all in double italicl
and accompanied with gestures that kept us
dodging until cur neck cramped. We only
said, LET us have peace, poor puss, and YOU
whole family, including great grandmothers,
Shall be Kept IN the paper tor lie, and even

tO bring that terrifying serenade TO a close
We have shaken ever since, aud called it Rgue
but really it was the effects Of that sudden
meeting. Such entertainments are very ex.
hlIerating, but severe On the constitution.

Oeen week OF more than ordinary events;
'r, IN other words, q season of culminstions
The atmosphere has been in q commotion,
caused by the rapid fight Of little white
winged messengers, that have been Huttering
IbOut in every direction and finally dropping
like founding into somebody's lap. Uusu-
lily quiet individuals have been seen rushing
along the street, as if borne on the wind, and
making purchases needed neither at funeral

Oe seen moving slowly along, and stopping at
numerous residences, as if a physician was on
ais circuit, but it wasn't. Then came a day
when number OF persons happened to cali at
the same house, at nearly the same tune, and
among others Divine. The coincidence was
noteworthy. Soon there came another day,
when half the city seemed suddenly possessed
with desire to dress up in choice apparel, and
again, apparently moved by q common i'm
pulse, one residence was sought by all, and it
Is said there was one wearing white neck
cloth, who spoke solemn words in the hearing
vi those present, and that bye and bye those
who went in came forth again, muttering that
portion of the table which reads "Once two is
one" 1t has been evident. fer the past week,
that fate was preparing dish of some kind,
and while Mother Grundry did not heaitate to
avow her ability to explain, yet lack of conf

ANOTHER TRIPLE MURDER.
Sequel to the Murder of the Park
Family In Clark County, Ind
Three Negroes Hung by Mob.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. IL Last night about one
o'clock q band of men in disguise, numbering
between fifty and seventy-five, entered
Charleston, the county seat Of Clark county,
Ind, and went to the Jail where three negroes
named George johnson, Squire Taylor and
Charles Davis, who were charged with the
brutal murder of the Park family, near Hem
ryviIle, ON Saturday night last, were confined,
and entered the jail for the purpose of remov-
ing them. They demanded the keys of Sher-
if Baxter, who resolutely refused to give them
up. They threatened him, and in various
ways tried to force him to give up the keys,
but he refused to the last. They then broke
down the doors, secured the victims, and took
them about two miles from town on the New
Market road, and there hung them in the most
unmerc' ful manner.
From the appearance Of the victims and sur
roundings 1t was evident that Davis had been
hung tirst, in the presence of the others, for
the purpose of making them confess their guilt.
A fll a1l been 6ndled. and Taylor had been
terribly tortured, his right hand was burned tO
a crisp, and his back had been fearfully
burned, and then he was hung, so that his feet
touched the roots of the tree. In fact, he was
not hung, but merely choksd to death. The
rope was fastened around the trunk of the
tree below the lowest branches. HIS neck was
not broken, and he died from torture and
strangulation.
johnson was hung to limb of the same
tree, and he was the only one whose neck ap-
pesred to be broken. None of the victims
faces were covered, and they presented hor-
rid spectacle. Taylor, when found this MORN
ing was without ciothing.
The men who did the hanging were COM
pletely disguised. They each wore a white
hat, with VISOR over the face, and they were
dressed In old soldiers blouses, coats, &c.
They were in the jail an hour before they sue
ceeded in getting the wretched negroes out
When they came into the town, whenever
they saw anyone watching them, they treat
ened to shoot if an alarm was raised, and
guard Was placed over each person who was
found on the streets, and over each house
where any one was found looking out. The
correspondent OF the Louisville CouTieT-Jour-
nal, who was on the quivive fer le item, was
arrested by the mob and held until the WORK
was done. The Ledger man was more fortu-
nate in keeping a safe distance, and witnessed
the whole affair, but was too lar away to see
or hear all that was going on.
The bodies were cut down and taken to
Charleston in a wagon, where they renamed,
and were gazed upon by men, women and
children. The feeling in the vicinity is in
tense, The greatest excitement peTails, and
as far as it is known here it Is the only thsme

Mn. Mason Evans.-This popular rea-

entertainments, consisting of recitations from
various authors, at Orchards Hall, on Mon
day evening last. The entertainment was ad-
vertised for the Friday evening previous, and
Mr.. Evans came here on that day, prepared to
fill the engagement, but found that his agent,
(who by the way absconded at Canton, with a
hundred and nine ooIlars,) had made no ar
rargements here for the evening. A number
of citizens feeling an interest in having our
people meet Mr.. Evans, prevailed upon him
to remain until Monday evening, and arrang, .
msatswer made TO that effect. The limited
time Tor advertising was unfortunate, and on
ly few were made acquainted with the fac
thst such an entertainment was to be given,
and the audience was small, though perhaps
as large as could have been expected He de-
lighted his hearers for nearly an hour and a

thoEs. including pleasant variety of pathetic
and humorous pieces. Mr.. Evans is a man
who possesses the power to give a vitality 10
