PErERsBuRa, Va, January There is
a considerable stir in this city among those
of our citizens who have rendered coupons
In payment of their State taxes and against
whom second judgments have been render
ed. The number is quite large, and unless
they settle up the Commemorative Attor-
ney. in accordance with notice some time
ago published. will proceed at an early day
TO issue executions. The total amount in
volved in these cases In Petersburg IS
about $4,000, of which the costs aggre-
gate about $500. In the smaller cases
the costs exceed the amount OF taxes. III
Is understood that many. If not all, of these
coupon payers will settle up-some OK
them having already done so-though II IS
rumored that some of them contemplate
contesting the matter in the courts.
SERIOUSLY ILL.
Professor J. G. Griswold, formerly prin-
cipal of St. Paurs Female School, but now
a prominent merchant, Is seriously Ill to-
day Of pneumonia contracted several DAYS
ago. Professor Grlswold was a gallant
Confederate soldier. and Is one OF our
most pOpuler citizens.
Mr.. A. ". Simmons, of DinwIddie coun-
ty, who was recently so desperately as
saulted by Henry Hill, a negro thief. whom
be was deputized to assist in carrying to
Jail, is gradually recovering from the enect5
of his wounds. and to-day was enabled 10
sit up for awhile in his bed. IL Is reported
that Hill saws be intended to kill Special
Constable Tucker, who bad charge OF him,
in which event be could have made his es-
cape. But Tucker lodged the blow aimed
at his head. and when Simmons ran to ms
rescue the negro turned upon and assault
ed him.
AN INTERESTING CASE.
On Tuesday next in the Hastings Court
will be commenced the trial of one of the
most interesting cases that mas occupied
the attention Of that court for long time.
II IA the case of Robert Mechanism, of
Wythe county. a colored student at the
Normal and Collegiate Institute, charged
with the murder or Lucius II. lnge, q
young white man Of this city. In view or
the facts about the case, that have been SO
fully published, II IS probable that 1t Will
be difficult matter toobtain iury--a Jury,
at least. of intelligent men. Inge was shot
through the abdomen in the IIbllc street
on Saturday night and died on Monday
following. Robert Matthews. also color
ed student at the same college, who was
with McClanahan at the time of the shooting
and who has been indicted as an accom-
plice, will also be tried at this term OF the
court.

English Military Punishments.

Our old English military punishments
were not destitute of ingeniously de-
vised discomfort.
For instance. there was the wooden
horse on a movable stand. made III the
similitude of that animal. with head and
tail attached to increase the likeness. of
planks nailed together and meeting in a
sharp ridge. Upon this ridge. as upon
the back of IL horse, the culprit rode
astride with his hands tied behind him
and his legs dragged down by attached
muskets to prevent, according to Il
CHASTITY joke OF that time. his horse kick
ing him.
There was also the picket. IL kind of
torture in which one hand was fastened
to hook in post above the head of the
criminal, while his suspended body was
supported By his bare heel resting on q
wooden stump, narrowed, to cause him
the greater Inconvenience.
These punlshments were discontinued
as leading to rupture and lameness. In
running the gantlet or the gantlope the
wretched soldier ran between two lines
of his comrades and was beaten by
switches and insulted by the worst OF
them-a form of torture degrading sol
diers to executioners, and perhaps the
most cowardly and intolerable ever con-
ceived Tit-Bits.
