that he had a wife in Minnesota, and
that legal proceedings for bigamy
were begun against him. On the night
mentioned about twenty persons, with
their faces blackene0 and clothing dis
guised, visited the house of Mr.. Bar
rett and seized him and wife. Some
held him. while others stripped her en-
tirely naked, bound her hands and
feet, tied a rope around her feet and
dra gged her into the yard. Here she
was hauled about for some time, amid
jeers and derision, and then coat of
tar and feathers was applied to her.

rough rail, and with her feet still tied.
amid her screams of pain, forced her
limbs apart, thrust the rail between
them and bore her into field, where
she was thrown down and left. Re
turning to the house they subjected
Mr.. Barrett to nearly every possible
indignity, and then tarred and feather
ed him and carried him to the place
where his wife was and dumped him
beside her. The man and woman
after some time got loose from their

as they could and returned to the,

great advantage over those whose mills

RAISING THEM QUIZ

Postmaster Haverstick goes the post
Office box-holders one quarter better, this
morning, and ''raises some of them ou,,n TO
use . phrase that some of our readers I'M
derstand. Post Offices are rated first, second
or third class, in proportion to the receipts
of the office. This office 10 classed ss a
second rate, which makes the salary $4,000
for postmaster, and allows him $1,000 for
clerk hire, while the salary for ell frst GLASS
Offices is $4,000, with one exception, that
of New York City, which is Sc, 900 and in
all these Offices the allowance for clerk hire
is regulated BY the amount of work to be
done. Davenport for instance is allowed
$4,000. Ia making this allowance, or in
Judging of the amount of work lone in an
office, the Department is necessarily infu-
enced by the class of the Office, which, as
we have said, depends upon its receipts.
Hence this raise of box rent is to induce
the Department to rate the Office
6rst class. The new classification will
take place next January, six months from
TO day, and all other offices have been mott.
fed to commenced to-day and count cancelled
stamps and foot up receipts for the next six
months. The result will determine the class
of this Office, and this accoonts for the raise
at this time. The amount of work done in
this office, the large increase 10 the register,
consequent upon our increasing business
and the number of railroads centering here
demands that this Office be rated frat class,
and it seems this is the only way in which
it can be done, and the people thus get the
benefit of better and more experienced
clerks, and more of them. Another efeci
will be to increase the postmasters salary
to $4,000. This is the stake Postmaster
Haverstick is playing for, while by '~'playing
pards" with him the people will receive the
better accommodations to be had by a con
sequent increase in the allowance for clerk
hire and the better handling of mail matter
Several citizens have thrown up their hand,
and showed in their keys but the distribu
ton of our mail matter is a thing of consid
cradle importance to US, at least, and, tina
the postmaster obtain proper parties K
assist him in handling it satisfactory, il
stake enough for US so, while he is play inf
for his $4,000, we stand the fifty cent rAis'
and shall play our hand out. Having stoot
every raise thus far, we still claim q sigh
for our money. Run the cards, gentlemen
our money is up citizens can chip or draw
out, they help make up the game.
