LYNCHINq IN PIKE

Late yesterday evening, gentleman

line, one and half miles from Merfrees-
boro, on Sunday night last by mob.
The fend inoarnate stripped naked him.
self in the woods, between the house of
Mr. James Steward and the school house,
where the intended victim of his hellsh
lust passed last Thursday morning. and
waited for her, to an opening in the
woods, when he was frightened off by q
gentleman in tho neighborhood. His
avowed intention was to violate her per
son and he said after wards that he inten-
ded to kill her, and had taken off his
clothing to prevent getting blood on them.
He did not succeed in coming up with her
and his diabolcal plans were frustrated,
but he was arrested and fined $500 90,
and some parties in the neighborhood
fought ~ his time and turned him loose
bn the neighborhood. Weare not an ad-
vocate Of m1b law, but cannot condemn
the men who took the young devil out
at II O'Clock last Sunday night and
swung him up to an ironwood sapling,
where he WAS found hanging next morn
ing. He was black negro, with the
brute nature prominent in every feature,
and doubtless merited the gnomious fate
he suffered at the hands of an outraged
people. His name was Lem Wesson,
and It is in evidence that he had made
threats against a number Of ladies' in the
settlement, and this fact had become so
universally known that many ladies' dared
not to venture out alone. The mode and
manner of disposing of such characters
as these, is the only sure protection soci-
city has against such wretches. and, in
this instance. We heartily commend the
action of the mob.-Prescott Clipper

Growth Of Human Hair after Death.

DR.. Caldwell, of Iowa, states that in
1862 he was present. at the exhumation of
body which had been buried two years
before. The coffin had sprung open at
joints, and the hair protruded through
the openings. On opening the coffin the
hair of the head was found to mersure
eighteen inches, the whiskcrs eight
inches, and the hair of the breast five or
six inches. The man had been shaved
before being buried. In 1S47 similar
circumstance occurred in Mercer County,
Pa. In digging grave the workmen
came upon the skeleton of man that had
been buried ten years. The hair was
as firm as during life and had grown
to the length of eleven or twelve
inches.
