Capture of KenOs Douglass.

On Christmas night, Kenos Douglass
shot and killed Thos. Reid in Green
brier Co., w. Va, by shooting through
the door. He eluded capture by con
cealing himself in the mountains. He
was finally captured by Henry NJ.
Dawson, accompanied by John Alder
son and two others, who found him
and his brother George encamped in
the mountains Oh the head waters of
Anthony's creek. George was released,
but Kenos, the culprit, was taken to
Lewisburg, where on Monday of last
week, he was committed to jail, with
out bail, after an examination before
Justice John Lipps. At their camp
kenos Douglass and his brother had
two deer and a number OF coon skins,
which shows how they subsisted in
their mountain concealment. When
found about 3 o'clock in the morning
they were asleep in a temporary hut
they had built for shelter.
For the capture of Kenos Douglass,
the Greenbrier County Court offered a
reward of $500.

A STARTLING STORY.

They VIII Both Interest You and Tell You

A m )st fascinating story comes to us
from Montpelier. Vt, concerning Mr..
Wallace w. NOyes and his wife. proni-
nent people of that city. Mr.. Noyes
fought all through the war with dis
tingu shed bravery He was in the
battles of the Wilderness. Spottsyl-
vania, Cold Harbor. Petersburg, Win
chester, Cedar Cree k and others
He was wounded April 2nd, 1865, at
Petersburg. He is one of the few pri

of hoaor the from u. S. government for
distinguished BRAY cry He stood on
the wall of the fort at Spottsyiva;iia in

His wife bad an equally interesting
experience. We give it to our readers
in her own words expressed in the fol-
lowing letter:
Il was completely run down." she
said. land my nerves were in very
weak condition. l had no refreshing
sleep and felt tired and dragged out all
the time. l was so extremely nervous
that when the door bell rang l would
scream out and if any of the children
dropped anything it would affect me
the same way.
My work was very hard and ex-
hausting at thattimA. Ny appetite and
digestion were very poor, and what
did eat did not do me much good. 1

clan for help, not being able to work

Game of Football.

In speaking of the game of foot ball
which is so rough and dangerous as
heretofore played, the Norfolk Land
mark says
IF in this game, which appears to
be such fad among our youth, boys
were not in the habit of jumping upon
one another's back with their knees,
and in other strange, inhuman ways
straining or bruising their bodies we
might not appeal to parents to keep
their sons away from colleges where the
game is played in its unmodified man
ner, and out of all participation in it
anywhere. When football becomes Il
sensible and safe pastime. if it ever
does, and as it may once have been, we
shall cease our opposition. Until it
shall do so we trust that all editors
will do their best to suppress it as we
shall do

Harry Tucker Happy.

| The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Times, of date Feb. 8th,
says
Congressman Harry Tucker was a
happy and justly elated man this
morning as he left the Capitol with his
bill for the repeal of the Federal cleo
ton laws under his arm, and in his
pocket bright. new pen, which he
| desired the President to use in signing
the act aud then return to Mr.. Tucker
to be treasured as an heirloom for the
succeeding generations of the Tucker
| family.
At last the inquitious Federal cleo
ton laws are repealed. Johnny
| Davenport is out of a job, and the bill
which has now become a law bears the
name of one of Virginia's bright con
gressmen.
| A large number of amendments were
| offered. and Mr. Tucker himself eX-
| planned to Senator Gray and other
members of the committee the points
raised against the bill by Representa-
tive Fitch. but they unanimously de
cided that the bill was SO drawn as to
fully cover every point, and no amend
ments whatever were adopted. 1t had
been claimel in debate that the bill
confiicte.i with the thirte@nth, four
teenth, and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution. but this also was
repudiated by the senators, and the
bill was passed just as Mr.. Tucker
framed it,"
Oh! that we had few more such
men in Congress as Our Harry" then
there would be more bills passed and
not quite so much idle talk.
We see, from the correspondence in
different parts of the 10th Compression
al District, that there are several
candidates who think of running for
Congress next fall, sc. No use, gentle
men-not bit-"Our Harry" is the
man that will represent the 10th Dis
trict for years. Why? because SO
voters out Of every 100, will vote for
Hon. H. ST. G.. Tucker every time for
Congress. 1t is only those who want
his place, and a few disappointed
"petty" office-seekers, who are stirring
up this great ado about so many candi-
dates, sc. Harry" is the man to
represent the 10th Va. District in
Congress.

Mob Led by a Woman.

Desperate but unavailing efforts
were made yesterday at Lebanon, Ind.
to lynch Frank Hall, a young Negro
who, last Sunday night, forcibly
entered the home of Mrs. Mary Akers
four miles east of this city, and erin
inally assaulted her. His tracks in the
snow afterward led to his detection
and arrest. He signified his willingness:
to plead guilty and was taken from the
jail to the courtroom well guarded.
The appearance of the party was the
signal for determined onslaught by q
mob OF fully 1000 people, who hac
stood all the morning about the Jail.
The mob was led by Mrs. Addie Tay
lor, woman whose daughter was raw
ished about three months ago by 6
travelling doctor named Gotten. Since
then Mrs. Taylor has been half crazy
and the excitement to-day seemed tt
drive her to a wild frenzy.
With TIE mob at her heels the
woman rushed wildly upon the sheriff
posse, dragging rope with moose al
ready fixed. The astounded officials
drew their pistols, but before they
could act Mrs. Taylor had, with re
markable dexterity, cast the moose
over the Negroes head, and in another
instant the mob was dragging hin
across the courthouse yard. Will
quick presence of mind one of The
deputies cut the rope and Hall wal
rescued.
The crowd blocked the way. Mrs
Taylor tied another moose, another
rash was made and again the strang
ling wretch was dragged several feet
He was rescued again, but the same
performance was again gone through
before he could be safely landed in the
courthouse. There he pleaded guilty
and was at once sen 'enced to twenty
one years. Imprisonment.
Judge Neal implored the mob to sub
side and disperse, but his words were
unheeded. The prisoner was locked il
the Judges chamber until $50 o'clock
AT that time the sheriff with fifty dep
uties made a rush through the crowC
and got the prisoner safely upon the
south bound Big Four train before the
