A Ravisher Lynchod.

GIBsoN's, n small iling village in
Pennsy lvnuia, was recently the scene Of
bces'ly Outrage, viz, tho violation of re-
spectacle girl, a Miss Davis, 10 years of
nge, by dissipated fellow named MARTIN
GRovEs, 35 years Of sgc. The crime was
committed on the margin of woods near the
towp, while the girl was proceeding on an
errand for her mother GROVES was living
in ambush at the time and suddeuly as
saulted his victim. When tho story was
known throughout the village the greatest
excitement prevailed. A crowd of % men
gathered and decided upon seeking out
GROVES and giving him summary justice.
They proceeded in body up the mountain
near the town, and captured him in the
woods They then took him down into
deep depression between two Of The lofty
hills. In that lonely vale, by the light of
the moou struggling through heavy mist,
The iDiuriated miners executed the sentence
they pronounced against him, which was
that be should die. His eyes were hsndag-
ed and his hands bound behind him, aud
then he was hanged to he limb of chest
nut tree aud lef, there until he was dead.
He was afterwards buried near the hui,
where be had lived for years. The outrage
on the DAVIS girl was not GRUvEs's fret
crime Of that nature. The commission of
three similar outrages was laid at his door
by general belief, which had made him
terror to all women and children.

POETRY
I've Been Thinking.

I've been thiaking I've been thinking,
What glorious world were this
Did folks mind their own business more,
And mind their neighbors' less.
For instance. you and ], my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
or matters that concern us not,
And others folles mock.
I've been thinking. II Wen begin
To mend our own Affairs,
That possibly our nrighbors might
Con;ri,e 10 manage theirs,
We've faults enough at home to mend
1t may be SO with otlers;
1t would seem siiange il 1t were not.
Since all mankind are bnothersS
Oh. would that we had charity
For every man and woman,
Forgiven ..r Is the mark of those
Who know to "err 10 humna"
Then let us bani,h jealousy
Lets lit our fallen brother
Aud ac w. journey domn HES road
"Do good To one another"
