Catholic could be, and yet it protested to hold

was bold one; but, at the start, it had q pow

ach. He could take nothing internally, but
merely gasped and begged for breath. He WAS
raised higher and higher from time to time, and
propped up with pillows and holsters: in obedi-
ence with his request that he might breathe
easier, until he was nearly in o sitting posture.
The family and household servants at his
especial request, were now summoned to his
presence, as it was evident to all as well as to
himself that be was dying. In few mlnuteshe
WAS surrounded by familiar but sad and Bt1eam-
ing faces Of relatives and dependents. His son
the only one at home-General Y. Il. Seward,
Jr., and his wife and two children, occupied
prominent positions ut the head OF the couch OF
death. Miss Risley-sewaTd, the adopted daugh-
by. Mrs. Worden, sister Of the dying mans
deceased wife, stood by his side holding one Of
his emaciated hands. Mrs. Lucy Bostwiok, q
widowed sister Of Mrs. William q. Seward, Jr.,
and her two children, we're alao Of the number.
Hiss Cora Richardson, q confidential member Of
and Mr. Anthony Gattmann, the Governors
Private Secretary, were also in the
room. Besides these, there were present all the
household servants, including Harriet Bogart, q
employ of the family upward Of forty years, and
who was one Of the most sincere and heart
broken mourners ut that scene of death. DR..
Dimon, who has been Governor Stewards perso-
nal medical attendant and most trusted friend
for a quarter Of q century, remained with the
group, ningling his tears with those Of the chill
dren and dependents, as he strove by every ap-
pliance Of science and skill to assuage the pains
Of the sufferer, ndsmooth and soften the pillow
OF death.
"Higher! higher!" gasped the fast sinking
man as he struggled for breath, and fresh pil-
lows were brought to raise him. "That will

upright position. Then, glancing around upon

felt faint. After drinking she sank heavily into

She informed him that she did not know how

marking, with laugh, that she might never get

circles of the highest a1istocracy Of st. Peters,
burg we're thrown into the greatest excitement
by the rumor that the President Of the Metre
politan Police had ordered 3 lady belonging to
the ancient Russian nobility, and noted not only
for her extraordinary beauty, but also for her
leave RuHsia without delsy, and that the En-
peror Alexander H., had ordered her estates to
be confscafed.
Upon inquiry the report proved to be we'll
grounded. The object Of these vigorous meas
ures on the part Of the Russian Government, it
was found WIS none other than the Princess
Alexandrewa Troubescheneff, nee Stratoneros-
kof. At II o'clock on the preceding night two
agents Of the police Of st. Petersburg had de-
manded adnittance to the splendid palace OF the
Princess On the Newski Prospect, and, upon en-
tering the hallway, had ordered the affrighted
servants to tell their mistress that she must rise
from her bed and ti1ive with them Immediately
to the Central Police Office
Vainly did the Princess, after she had been
awakened and dressed herself, inquire OF the
two police agents about the causes that had led
to this extraordinary proceeding. They re-
fused to give her any satisfaction, and took her
in q carriage to the Central Police Office, and
conducted her to the private room Of Count Tol-
etoy, tho President Of Police. The latter exhib-
tied to the Princess Autographed letter, and
asked her il she had written it.
The lady looked at it, and then, clenching her
lips, replied in the affirmative.
The President took paper from the table,
and briefly informed her that she was forever
exiled from the empire; TINT her estates had
been confiscated, and that she would be at once
transported to the German frontier.
The Princess turned very pale, but regal1n3ted
her seh-possession in3;;a minute OF two. ene

committing depredations IN that section TOR
some time, and seemed to all escape the punish

these robberies and so boldly executed that the
citizens determined to bring some Of them to
justice. Thursday last, two supposed horse
thieves, David Douthett and Benjamin Wilson,
were arrested and brought to Au1lyille. They
waived 81 examination, and were released On
bonds to appear at the next term Of court
Quite number Of farmers from the surround"

day, taking deep interest in the case Of the tHa
thieves, and when the latter we're released these
men made mutterings Of dissatisfaction, but NJ

evening, when q band Of armed and mounted

Daniel Douthett WAS killed almost instantly,
being literally torn to pieces with the rifle balls.
Benjamin Wilson was pierced in about twenty
different places, but lived until about u o'clock
Thursday night. The father Of Donthett Was
also taken in charge by the mob, but the County
Attorney succeeded in getting him away from
them.
The mob was composed for the greater part

and Aullyille, and among the number were sew
en- very gray haired men. No attempt was mako
at concea1ment, and the attorney abovo mem
toned says he recognized every one Of the party
Is acquaintances. The excitement over tha
affair Is intense. Both victims we're well known
in the county, their families reside there, they
have many friends and it is feared more blood
shed will be the result OF the rash acts a1resdy
committed The mob sent message to Lex-

telegraph the affair abroad, and the citizens OF
the county have been trying as much ~ posah---
to hide the disgrace thrust upon them.
