Of Commons refused to accept, and been returned

between the two Houses was expected.
Amid unw0nted excitement their Lordships
voted 167 to 1Ss not to insist on their amendment
making the use OF the secret ballot optional; but
by vote OF III to So they adhered to the amend

HANGING BY LYNCH LAW,

Three Murderers and ViOlatOrs OF
Young Lady Taken from Jail by a
Crowd to BE Executed-HarrOwing De-
tails of the Shocking Crime.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July s, 1872.
A special to the Gazette says the rumors OF late,
that the people OF Mercer county, Ohio,
would take the law into their own hands
with reference to the supposed inhuman
murderers of Miss Belle Secor, who was
outraged on her way from Sunday school
two weeks ago and then murdered and thrown aside
to be partly consumed by hogs were this morning
proved to have been well founded. At an early hour
this morning people began to arrive In Celna where
the prisoners Jacob Kimble, AbsolOm kimble and
Alexander MI. Cloud were incarceraed. Arrivalscon
tinued till ten O'Clock, when about three thousand
had assembled. They then surrounded the jail,
took forcble possession of the jaOr dispos
sessed him of his keys, and after erecting en-
trance to the cells took therefrom the three
prisoners and removed them, under strong
guard, to q wagon. The Kimble farm, where the
shocking crime was committed, Is twelve miles
away. TO this place the determined crowd an
nounced their determination to remove the prs-
Oners and then execute the sentence
which an outraged community has pro-
nounced. The procession moved OIL quietly
and in an orderly manner. What subsequently
transpired Is not known, but the CfgHdfteS are III
charge of the men, and IL Is believed they will not
return until their prisoners have paid the penalty
of their crime with their lives

recent writer on sociology has ventured to
assert that the Roman farmer in Virgils day
understood the art of cultivating the soil as
well as any professional agriculturist OF the
present age. Absurd as such an assertion
unquestionably is, there can be no doubt that
the advance of husbandry as a lucrative indus
try has been seriously retarded by the igno-
rance of mankind as to that various and
mutable thing" the weather, on the knowledge
of whose conditions the farmer is so dependent
There can be little doubt that every intelli-
gent tiller of the earth in this country sees the
value of daily forecasts of the weather, and will
avail himself Of them whenever they are
brought within his reach. The great difficulty
Of obtaining them is the isolation of the inte-
rior rural districts and their want of tele-
graphic communication with the nearest signal
station. In the Old World it is proposed that
the prominent agricultural societies, the
rural boards and the councils general shall
contribute means to defray the small
expenses incident to the forwarding by
mail and the conspicuous publication of
the forecasts at points remote from the great
centres. In the United States our immense
railway systems make it practicable to furnish
the weather news to thousands of country
places within few hours after the ''probabii-
ties are issued from the Signal Office and be-
fore they become stale. The Post Office De-
partment, by easy and inexpensive cooperation
with the Signal Office, might, through its
army of postmasters, receive and display the
weather bulletins on the arrival of their mails,
and thus greatly multiply the benefits of the
Signal Service observations to thousands of
farmers who do not now enjoy the advantage
Of them It is hardly possible that any news
paper can be 50 far behind the times as to de-
cline an application to publish any telegraphic
or other weather ;;s:cii;ccoe intelligence @ s.. may oe
transmitted to it from Washington. The sub
ject is of such incalculable importance to the
farming and general interests of the whole
country that the local authorities and commit
tees Of agricultural societies should take imme-
diate and earnest action.
