We have heard of the ruling passion strong
in death, but never before did we hear of an
tipathies, not only carried beyond life, but
visbly and forcibly expressed in the very
coffin. A credible resident of the neighbor-
hood of Ramsey, KY, tells of an old woman
who died there while ago, and who, among
her other caprices, hated flowers and forbade
the use OF any for purpose OF decoration at
her funeral or grave. AT the funeral young
lady, ignorant of her commands in this par
ticular, placed wreath on her coffin, when
she suddenly started, and, rising part way
up, seized the offensive chaplet and threw !.
at the offending young lady. She then settleu
down and allowed the funeral to proceed.

Again have to chronicle the enforcement OF the
extreme penalty OF the law, in two cases, for the
most atroci0us OF crimes known to modern civiiZa-
ti0n-the 0utragng Of woman-and which are yet
made more horrible by the fact that the criminals
were two negroes and their victims two unprotected
white females This species of crime is becoming
South that its suppression will soon necessitate
more summary means than the slow and somewhat
uncertain process Of jails judges, juries, sherfs
and the gallOws. 1t seems that the quiet and
Order-Oving citizens OF this county have
been subjected during the past year to
regular series Of these crimes, which are
scarcely paralleled in criminal annals, and
never in this section. There havo been
committed, or attempted with the usual accompa-
nying horrors, no less than nve such Outrages by
negroes upon the persons OF white females in this
county and In the neighboring county of Hall dur
ing the year 1872 In four cases the demons in
human form who conceived the hellish designs
succeeded in carrying them into execution, while
the fifth was only frustrated by the extreme youth
OF his wOuld-be victim. have to-day to detail to
the HERALD two Of the most revolving and heart
rending Incidents of the sort which could be con-
ceived by the most morbid and wicked magma
ton, but which, nevertheless, are real, genuine,
unmistakable facts, that have been tested in court
OF Justice by the rules of evidence, and for which
two human beings were to-day launched into
tributive eternity.
