q FiensisIl Negro Eynched.

A dispatch from the government
works at Muscle Shoals, on the Tennes-
see river, near Florence, Alabama, gives
details of the lynching of George Ware,
colored, who murdered a white boy
aged II, to secure sl2 which had Just
been paid to the boy. After rubbing
his victim he threw the lad Ell ght times
into the river, but the boy swan back
to the shore After thus amusing him
self by throwing the boy into the river,
he tied him, beat out his brains with a
stone, and again threw him in. A man
on the opposite shore witnessed the
murder, but the river was too wide tor
him to make his presence known. A
desert ption of the negro was given to
the jailer, who arrested him. The same
night a crowd of the workmen EN-
ployed on the river improvements Wis
tied the Jail and demanded the prisoner.
Owing to the delicate condition OF the
jailcrs wife at the time, the mob was
persuaded to dispense. All this occur

fessed.

A Remarkable Pigeon ROOst.

Near Macon, Miss, is a remarkable
pigeon roost. 1t embraces an area of
forty acres in valley surrounded oy
precipitous hills. A creek rams through
it or rather spreads over it, covering
most of the surface with water from one
to five feet deep. There is all over it
thick growth of cane, vines, bushes aud
saplings, which, with the quicksands,
muck and water, constitute it an abso.
lutely impenetrable morass. 1t is won
derful instinct that prompted the birds
to select this, the most secure and safest
place of all the places in the whole re-
giou, for their clearinghouse. Between
sunset and dark, pigeons come III from
all quarters iu immense numbers, dark
ening the heavens, aud producing a
roaring noise that can be heard two or
three miles.

A Fortune for Saving n Life.

Last December Joseph A. Barber en-
listed 10 the United States recruiting
office in Providence. He gave his age
as twenty-onc years aud eight months.
His term of enlistment in the army was
for five years, and with others he was
sert to join the recruits at Davids
Island, New York. About year ago
Barber was employed as a brakeman
on the New York and New Haven Rail
road, and one day he saved an aged
gentleman who was passing from one
car to another from being crushed to
death. The gentleman died recently
and bequeathed $4,000 to Barber for
saving his life. Barber is still in the
service at David's Island, and will prob
ably remain there until he attains his
majority, as be Is, in reality, number
of months less than 81 years of age.
