while longer, during which time two of
Williams brothers had organized an
opposition party, which cried for the
cutting of the rope, and threatened to
rescue the murderer. The leaders be-
came desperate, cried, Out with the
lamps Ca few scattered lanterns), the
rope was drawn, and the barrel knocked
from under the wretched man. But
the end was not yet. The limb bent,
and Williams stood upon the ground.
He was seized, lifted back, and the rope
drawn again. While it was being ad-
iusted the second time, he cried out that
he had been converted and should die
happy, and his last words were, Meet
me in Heaven" His neck was not
broken by the fall, and the mob waited
in the dark night and pitiless rain for
the last of his long-continued and des-
perate struggles.
Then they went back to the Jail, and
prepared to deal out the same punish
ment to Mrs. Muling, no opposition be-
ing manifested. She was brought out.
the lanterns again lighted, and she was
placed before the corpse of her para
mour and told that she had but twenty
minutes to live. She showed great
emotion, turned slowly to the crowd,
made her confession, said she was ready
to die, kneeling, began to pray. 1t was
weird SPECTACLE this woman, guilty
of her husbands murder, kneeling there
at midnight before the dead body of her
accomplice in that murder, and praying
not for her life, but for her soul. And
an impressive spectacle, too, for before
she was through, one-half the mob were
on their knees, and when she arose an
almost unanimous mo" greeted the
leaders question, "Shall she die ? " She
was taken back to the Jail, and the
crowd, who had made no attempt at
concealment through the whole perfor.
nance, dispersed to their homes.
The Notwithstanding details are
drawn from the letter of special local
correspondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican, who was an eye witness of the
remarkable scene. There is no evidence
that the courts would not have. dealt
faithfully with the prisoners. The mo-
tives of the populace seemed rather i'm
patience of the slow oraer of law, than a
hungry human thirst for vengeance:

Winter Weather.

In view of the extraordinarily mild
weather of the present winter, some one
has been investigating the records of the
past, with the following result: In 1851,
January 18th, the frost was entirely out
of the ground, February was like spring
and Winter ends wonder through
the whole" In 1856, in January, the
fish, as they are reported to have done
this year, struck in from the sea, the
weather being so warm. February was
delightful, and March clustering, but
soft as May. In the year 1865, Febru-
AIRY 9th, the New York Gazette and
Post Boy reports that last Thursday
the weather was so uncommonly warm
that young lads went into the river to
swim" In 1772 the temperature was SO
high in England that leaves came out
on the trees in January, and birds hatch.
ed their broods in February. In 1888
the weather was equally mild and the
maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of
violets and corn flowers on Christmas
and on Twelfth Day. Going still fur.
ther back, in 1921, the trees lowered in
the month of March, and the vines in
April. Cherries ripened in the latter
month and grapes appeared in May. In
1872, the trees were covered with leaves
in January, and the birds hatched their
young liz February, as in 1772; in 1775
this same thing was repeated, and it is
added that the corn was in the ear at
Easter. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters OF
1923, 1907, 1909, 1917 and 1869. Fin
ally, in 1872, even in the north of Ger
many, the stoves were not lighted, and
the trees fowered in February. The
winter Of 1S37-3S was one of lamb-like
gentleness, so much so that vessels navi-
gated Lake Erie every week of the sea-
son. Seven years previously the wealth
err was extremely mild. Farmers could
plough almost any day. Maple sugar
was made in February. Burlington Free

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
inc the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
fjl effects. they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they gripc much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not intlamed.
They reach the vital fountains OF the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion. low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatiors, &c, ln large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the DUST
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he desceDds
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now il
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading TO intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

To the Editors of The Argus:
1t NAV appear anomalous. on the part of
a Republican, to say that The would like
ito see the Democracy the winners in
"the present political campaign, for
by all our Republican platform orators it
lis said. and in all the Republican papers
1T is sorttten, that if we have Democratic
rulers they will first make compact
with the south and commit US altogether
Ito their supremacy, and then pay their
debt, their cotton bills. and also all,w all
their other claims. This would be the
very best thing that could possibly hap
''pen for the ultimate advantage of the
Republican party, so, for goodness sake
give the boys chance. for if they do it,
''or even make the attempt to do it, it
would be settler for them for the next
hundred years. We need not trouble
ourselves to exterminate them as a party:
give them the power and leave them
"aloue; they will exterminate themselves,
land 90 where wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest"
Of course the Democrats will be sure to
do this, as their enemies predict. for if
they do not there must be LYING SPIRIT
