MOUNT VERNON, ILL, April ~, 1870.
Messrs. j. n. Harris & Co., Cincinnati, o.
GENTLEMEN Il heard one of my Gus
toners speak in such high terms of Aliens
Lung Balsam to-day, that L thought /
would write to you the substance of his
statement He says his mother who is now
SIXTY YEARS OF AGE had SUFFERED
with CONSUMPTION for YEARS
and has been under the care of ALL OUR
BEST PHYSICIANS. but never received
any permanent benefit /; then she resorted
to most every kind of Cough and Lung
Balsam hat could be procured tor her,
BUT L TO NO AVAIL. She still grew
worse. until she was confined to her bed;
n when she was seized with a parOxism
of coughing she would LOSE POWER
OF RESPIRATION, and they were COM
PEELED TO restore breathing; and while she
coughed so hard she could not eXpecto-
rate anything, and the family and friends
had given up all hopss of her recovery.
Her son noticed that advertisement of
Aliens Lung BalSam in the3 christian Adj
yocatc, and they thought they would pro-
cure and try it. They commenced giving
her the Balsam ut 5 p. M, as directed, a
dose every hour until midnight; hen she
tool another spell of coughing and ex-
perforated a mouth full of dark, yellow
matter, which was something she had not
been able to do for some time. They con-
tinued to give her the Balsam until morn
ing, and then she began to expectorate
freely, and within two hours she had EX-
PERFORATED THREE PINTS of mticuS
matter, which gave her immediate relief;
n since that time she has continued to
improve. She now sits up all day, and
can walk about the house and take con-
outdoor exercise. Her son
bought more of the Balsam to-day, and
he is recommending it very highly to eve
ry one. Yours respectfully,
A. c. JOHNSON, Druggist.

"Too NIPPY." A young man from
Kentucky, who undertook to open a coun-
try store in the mountains of East Ten

was too nippy" for that region. He
wore a stovepipe hat, had his boots black
ed each day, and mounted a fresh paper
collar every morning, all of which served
to- disgust the natives. who said lie put on
too much Kentucky blue grass society style

Hanging of the Indian0 Negro
murderers.

INDIANAPoLfs, Nov. 1.-THE three
negro murderers of the Park family,
near Henryville, Indiana. were taken
from the Jail at Charlestoxn, at 2
O'Clock this morning. by a mob, of a
hundred and fifty persons, disguised,
and hung half a mile from town.
TsEcoND DIsPATcH.1
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-THE Vigi-
lance Committee at Chariestown num-
bered about seventy persons. They
came to the Jail about one O'Clock A. N
and demanded the keys of the jailor
and sheriff which were refused. They
then took blacksmith tools and tore
open the Jail doors, cut the hinges and
broke the locks, placed ropes around
the necks of the prisoners and took
them one and a half miles from town,
on the Lexington road. Taylor and
Johnson were hung on one tree. and
Davis on another. The Vigilance
Committee all wore white masks.
THIRD DISPATCH.
LOUISVILLE. Nov. 17.-Squire Tay-
lor, Charles Davis and George Johnson.
the negroes charged with the murder
of the Parks family, were taken out of
the Jail at Charlestown, Indiana. about
two O'Clock this morning. by a mob of
about forty persons. masked and dis
guised, thirty. three Of whom entered
the Jail. and the rest stood guard in
the streets. The negroes were hung
in the woods some two miles from
town. When found Taylor had been
stripped naked and burned in a num-
Der of places, with brands from a fire
the mob had kindled, probably with
the intention. as expressed by them, of
roasting them alive.
1t is storngly estimated that the ne
groes made a confession before death.
Taylor and Johnson were hung on the
same tree, ravis on another some two
hundred feet distant. The mob was
made up ofcitizens from the vicinity OF
H~enryville, Otis county, and Charles
town. The Coroner's inquest was held
to-day. and rendered "a verdict that
they came to their death by VIOLENCE,
having been hung by parties unknown.
The negroes had not been indicted by
a grand jury, and the citizens feared
they would escape punishment. No
one attemted to interfere with the
mob, who broke into the two cells with
siedge hammers and chisels, but the
Sheriff unlocked the third. seeing he
could not keep them out.
FOURTH DIsPATcH.]
LOUISVILLE, Nov. lit is o
known that the negroes hung for the
Park murder all made confession to
the Kuklux corroborating Johnson's
first story. Taylor acknowledged that
he did the killing while Davis held the
light and johnson watched the front of
the house. A box containing some of
Parks clothing. bed clothes and a sew
ing machine had been shipped to Tay-
lors son-in-law at Chicago.
