Brutal Outrage by a No b.

On Saturday night last Samuel PAUL, a
boy OF IL, the son of the late Judge PAUL
of the West Virginia Supreme Court, set
out to walk from Steubenville to Brilliant,
Ohio, and then to take the ferry home for
Wellsburg, w. Va. He was accompanied
by a eolored servant boy, and when they
arrived at Mingo Junction they were as
saulted by gang of fifteen ruffians. The
boy took refuge in the Junction IroE
Works, but the mob broke in and, binding
him, threatened him with bloody ven
geance. The colored boy in the meantime
made his escape, and, swimming the river
opposite Wellsburg, gave the alarm. He
arrived at Wellsburg in al exhausted con-
dition. A party was organized, and,
headed by young Paull's brother, it start
ed for the Mingo works, where the captive
was Saund moro dead than alive, the mob
having left him at daybreak and made
their escape. Young Paull's hair had
turned quite gray during the night, and
his friends fear his mind is affected. He
was seriously injured from the blows re-
ceived. The cause of the outrageous
treatment he received is unknown.

A Bovine Racing Wonder.

Wabash, the two-year-Old calico calf
that is credited with 4 mile racing record
of 2.20, was taken to Philadelphia recently
BY his owner, Colonel Charles j. Burns,
of Evansville, Ind, says the Times. Wa
bash has won seven races of the reel this
summer, and was only beaten once. On
that occasion he fell down. At Bedford
Park, on Wednesday last, he easily beat
j. c. Mason's black gelding, the Major, II
mile in 2.20. After the race Col. Burns
declined to accept an offer of 81 800 for
his feet-footed bovine. The calf is nearly
1879 hands high, his legs are like those of
a giraffe, and his horns are tipped with
nickel-plated knobs. Col. Burns bought
the calf when a yearling from an Indiana
farmer, who was driving the split-hOof
trotter to a Sulky, and beating all ordinary
roadsters with ease. The calf is Of pie
beian blood, and was bred, raised and
trained by the farmer. IIitched TO light
wagon, Wabash trotted to Belmont Park
Wednesday, and was sent around the
track several times at three minutes
gait. The calf's wind and limbs are per-
fectly sound, and his owner says he has
driven him forty miles a Gay without
making him turn hair. Although Wa
bash trots fast and steadily in harness, he
is much speedier when Running under
saddle. TO show the calf's speed, he was
saddled and mounted by ll5-pound
jockey, and Mr.. Horizons bay mare ClO-
rinda, with record of 2.a4, was started
against him. Clorinda went away in the
lead when the word ego" was giveE, but
Reilly, the jockey Ola the calf, quickly
clapped spurs into its sides, and, with q
below that was heard mile Off, Wabash
hOisted his tail like a jack-staf and set
sail after the trotter. The crowd Of horse
men present at once saw that Wabash had
mixed but fast gait that is peculiar to
himself. When ON the back stretch his
legs seemed to sprangle out OH all sides at
once, and he bowed his back like buck
ing broncho and blew cloud of steam
out Of his nostrils. Col. Burns proudly
waved his hand toward him, and said to
the crowd on the quarter-stretch: NOW,
you all watch that critter hump himself"
II "hulnping" meant believing until the
astonished Clorinda bolted across the track
and stood trembling against the outside
rails, Wabash certainly did what the
Colonel expected. Wabash came along
like locomotive, passed the bewildered
marc and was looping into the home
could induce her to trOt. Wabash won
by sn eighth Of = mile, and was cheered
by every spectator except Mr.. Horton,
who rhythmieally said to his driver:
DWELL, don't it beat ="

A Washer Thrashed.

A cowhiding affair in which bewitch-
ing brunette moving in fashionable So
ciety, played leading role, caused de-
cided sensation in Savannah, Ca, the other
night. The lady in question had been an
noyed by several notes from man sup
posed to BIZ a commercial traveller for a
New York house, aud upon the advice of
gentleman friend granted her unknown
correspondent the privilege Of making a
call at her home. Not anticipating trip
the stranger presented himself one night
and had hardly entered the parlor when
he asked the lady's company for a stroll.
Accepting the Invitation she left the house
but had not proceeded further than half
block when the gentleman who had con-
cocted the plot passed her and slipped y
heavy cowhide into her hand. Without a
word of warning she suddealy commenced
flashing her insulter across the face with
the whip. and before he could realize the
kituation he was streaming with blood,
and had both his eyes nearly closed. His
attempted apology only drew forth more
blows, and ne finally took to his heels.
The lady then returned home before her
family were aware of what had been go
ing on.

September %, 1883.
Messrs. Editors-I almost feel il nv
duty to say something about my trip to
Kentucky, although it may seem pre-
sumptuOus in one so little acquainted
with farming, stock-raising, &c. But
while there was treated with such hos
pitality as had heretofore thought only
belonged to Virginians. So l thought
and believed, but since have been there
and met the kentuckians in their homes
l have found they are second to none In
the welcome aud hearty hospitality they
extend to strangcrs-especially to Virgin
ians.
Having heard and read so much about
Kentucky horses, had great desire to
see some Of them, the men who handled
them, &C. Well, was invited to visit
the stud farm Of Mr.. A. w. Hardin-and
never, Messrs. Editors, have met with
more kindness and hospitality than re-
ceived from both him and his kind lady
but what started to speak Of was Ken
He was kind enough to have number Of
them brought out OH the track and, as
they call it, "wOrked" for our benefit.
Mr.. Hardin is gentleman who is keep
ing stud farm, also takes horses to break
to harness, train, &C., and now has i num-
Der Of horses not only Of his own, but be-
longing to other parties. He showed us
two beautiful young bay mares that he
has in training; they are almost matches,
and cannot tell you how pretty they are.
We saw them trot, though under very
Instantaneous circumstances, the track
being very hard aud dusty owing to the
drouth. We only timed the one. and only
think, Messrs. Editors, she made the re-
markable time of mile in two minutes
and forty-six seconds, and is only two
years old. What think you Of that-a
two-year-old trotting her mile in 2.4G.
think our farmers could learn 4 great
deal were they to visit Kentucky and see
what they are doing in raising fine stock,
how they are treated, &C., especially if
they ill visit Mr. Hardin, who know
will extend to them the welcome he ex-
tended to me, and show them his sp!en-
did stud and magnificent farm. He is not
only raising and training horses, but has
4 splendid herd of Jersey cattle and tho
roughbred sheep, and he says they pay
better than farming.
BY the way, must not forget to speak
Of one more thing 1 learned, and that is
ORCHARD GRASS. From what could see
and learn 1 would advise all our farmers
to investigate and inform themselves in
regard 10 the growth, value, &C., Of this
valuable product-it pays much better
than wheat. But must stop. At some
future time 1 may say something more
concerning the orchard grass, also about
the Exposition, which is only second to
the Centennial. w.

a Human NIonstrosity.

The wife of Frederick Vanleer, colored,
of Reading, Pa, has given birth to mon
strosity. The child has well-Geveloped
head and body, but has neither legs nor
arms. There is protuberance on the
right shoulder about the size of small
hens egg, in which there is no bone. The
left arm is lump of soft flesh, pear shaped,
and about the size Of the projection on the
other side Of the body. The left foot is
ilpperfeeuy for1ed, having but three toes,
and grows out from the upper rim Ct the
pelvis, the foot turned upward. The right
loot Is attached to short leg Of probably
two and half inches in length. This
foot is turned outward. The child is q
female, and the mother declares it will be
worth money to her when it gets larger.
