HUNG BY JUDGE LYNCH.
JAIL AND HUNG, FOR ATTEMPTING
TO COMMIT RAPE on THE PER-
SON OF AN AGED
WHITE LADY.

EDITOR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:

FRANKLINToN, LA, Feb. 20, 1884.
EDITOR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
Last Monday night the 18th
inst, the citizens of onr little village
were aroused from their peaceful
slumbers by loud noises proceeding
from the Jail. A party of men,
some ten or fifteen in number, sue
ceeded in breaking open the Jail,
and taking out the colored boy,
HUE Conerly, charged with an at
tempt to commit rape upon tire per-
son Of an aged white lady in this
parish, two or three weeks ago,
they hung him from the Jail steps,
and the left town as quietly us they
came. The body of Conerly re-
NAMED hanging in The air until the
next morning, when it was taken
down by the Coroner and jury of
inquest.
We have, as yet, no clue to the
perpetrators of this deed. The
night was very dark, and the hour
chosen about II o'clock. One of
our citizens approached the lynch
ers and fired his gun in the air,
when he was hailed by one of them,
who said: eve are going to take
that negro from Jail and hang him.
You keep quiet, or YOU will meet
with the same fate" The parties
engaged in this affair left notice
on the side of the Jail, of which the
following is a copy:
NOTICE.
eve. the citizens of Washington
parish, knowing it to be almost i'm
possible to have justice meted out
to criminals through the courts or
process of law, have organized a

hand all violators of law and order,
and the sacred rights of mankind,
whom we have good reason to be-
lieve the law will not deal with

necessary for the proper protection
of our property and families. and
pro bono publico."

As soon as the parties accom-.
plished their object they immedi-
ately and quietly left the place,
without molesting our citizens in
any way. While breaking into the
Jail. they conversed together in a
low tone Of voice, not loud enough
to be understood, except what was
said to the citizen. above mention

0h,MyBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much SUI
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
vet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. p. Marshall, Of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: I" My wife
has for many years been trou
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
and I can truthfully say that
she has been 50 much benefited
that she pronounces il the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BrT-
TIERS. 1t has cured others
suffering as you are. and 1t
will cure you.

VOnOmOus Fishes.

Venom is invariably associated in the
human mind with snakes. and never with
fishes; vet the circle of poisonous animals
has lately been extended bv the addition, no,
only of a hitherto unsuspected lizard, but
also of several fishes. There is n fish found
in Central America the operculum of which
is armed with a spine closely resembling the
fang of venomous serpent. The spine is
hollow, and communicates at its base with a
poison bag, the contents of which pass
through the spine into the wound which it
intiicts. The dorsal fin of the same fish is
likewise provided with two spines. each of
which is similar in structure and function to
that already described. and, together. they
form the most perfectly developed poison
apparatus yet found in this class of fishes.
More dangerous, because more common.
are two species of fish found in the Indo-
Pacific seas. Each of their very numerous
dorsal spines is as good COR as bad as a
poison fang, being provided in every case
with poison-bag and grooves for the convey
snce of the venom into the wound. The
fishermen of the Mauritian and other coasts
on which they occur no more think of hand
ling those creatures than they would the
venomous sea-snakes of the same region.
Sometimes. however they are trodden upor
unwittingly by people wading with naked
feet. when they infiict a wound which not
unfrequently proves fatal. Other fish, as
the sting-rav of the Indian Ocean, and even
the sea spiders or weavers of British waters
intiiet wounds, with stiletto-like spines. SC
severe as to raise the suspicion that the dsr,
is in some sense poisoned one.
II a few fishes are thus venomous wher
living. great many more are poisopou,
when dead. The typical fish is more ol
less edible creature; The eating of the
forms here referred to, however, frequently
proves fatal. These include many of those
curious bsllson-shaped fish known as globe
fish and sea-porcupines, also trigger-fsh snC
trunk-tish. These may be readily recog
nizes by the peculiarly of their forms; but
less recognizable. although equally poison
Gus. are certain tropical species of herring'
and psrrot-wrssses. Their deleterious prop
critics are said to be due IN most cases to the
poisonous nature of their food.

stuff and meat or or scraps from the table
and be fed only in such quantity as will
be eaten up clead each time. Clean wa
ter and no other should always be within
their reach.
Milk ean.-Milking is often entrusted
to the hired help or young boys and girls
who are apt TO be careless as regards this
point. 1t should be insisted upon that
every drop be drawn from the udder.
The last drawn milk is not only the rich
est, but if any is allowed to remain back,
one time after another, it will surely lead
to a falling OFF in the quantity. The SAT-
est plan is to have the mixers go over
the cows again as soon as they are through
milking, and "strip" them thoroughly.
Warfare Against the Insect Enemies
Much attention is paid in some European
countries to educating the masses to an
acquaintance with insects both injurious
and useful. with view to the extermina-
ton of the former As one means 10 this
end, exhibitions of insects are made at
the agricultural fairs and similar shows
being stimulated by premiums. Here is
a practical and valuable hint for adoption
in this country. Many a moth or butter
fly that is now admired and allowed to es-
cape. would be destroyed if its true nature
rs the parent of numerous. destructive
worms or caterpillars, were known. Such
shows would excite interest. and be the
means of disseminating a great amount
of much needed information.
