from VIM. Han>er received 20 lashes
with the utmost nonchalance and walked

that's good boys" >
Sullivan Schofeld, COL, for stealing
geese from Mr.. Lefevre, of New Castle,
walked up rather sprightlv, placed his
hands i'll the fastenings with an air of
nnconcern, but when the Sheriff laid the
hrst CT bis twenty lashes upon his bare
back he began to tremble, but never ut
tered word through the whole of the
twenty.
Benjamin Sterling received 10 lashes,
and took them so coOlly that CLEAN of
admiration fiitted across the faces of the
spectators.
Shadrack Crisden, n dark coIored in
dlvidual, was brought out. He came to
the marx with some hesitancy, and upon
the application of the first stroke he be-
gan to squirm. At the eighteenth lash
the squirming had grown into something
that resembled a "war dance" These
evidences of pain were received with
immense applause, and at the twentieth
the victim emitting howl of pain, the
applause eliminated into loud peals of
brutal laughter.
This closed the performance and the
crowd dispersed. Another exhibition
Will be held on Saturday next.
