TERRORS OF LYNCH LAW.  AN AVENGING PARTY.  A sequel to the horrible mimes perpetrated by the Kelly family, a gang of robbers and murderers until recently located near Texas, is just recorded. A merchant named Johnson, whose death at the hands of the miscreants was intended to strike terror into tbe hearts of the peaceful citizens, had an opposite effeat to that contemplated. Johnsen's friends determined to run the Kelly's to earth. A party of seven was formed. Having travelled in tbe Western wilds for many miles, the avengers were about to camp, when a roughly made hut, built down to the level of the ground, was observed. It was so mysterious a place, out of range of any other habitation, that every one of the seven immediately said, " That's Kelly's." With bated breath they held a consultation as to attacking the retreat, but their eonsultation was dirturbed. The sharp report of • rifle told them plainly that Johnson's murderers had discovered their presenee. The gang amid only be got out by digging down to their cave-like hut, a work of the greatest danger. Three of the avehgers volunteere I the detelly peril, a hole in the roof war finally made, when a rapid fmilade begin from within, and one of the attacking party was shot through the heart Nothing daunted, the others hauled up au old waggon, which was partly loaded with dry hay, and eat it on fire right over the hole, amid a perfect rain of bullets. The smoke poured into the house, as did hot coals, but not one of the Belly family appeared . Getting tired of welting, the avengerd closed up on the piece, and getting to the entrance a desperate fight took plate. The whole interior of the nave was literally flooded with bullets, while cries and curses came from within. There were thee Kelly. in that mysterious cave ; they had led a wild life, living by theft and bloodshed. A dreadful haunt ...hand fight now ensued. An old woman, with white hair trailing down her waist, revolver in hand, and uttering imprecations, showed •igns of standing her ground. She was at once shot through the heart. The two others, father and son, were capture'. The avengers, maddened at the loss of one of their number, and still remember. lug Johnson's dreadful death, tortured the younger Belly. While this was going on the old man escaped. The son's fate was at once sealed. He was hitched to a lariat and dregced to death over the prairie by a man on horseback, torn to pieces on the hard ground. All the Kellys have now been run to ground sod killed exoept the old man.  It is said that a syndicate of capitalists have secured the right to introf nos the telephone into Chios. They don't know what trouble they are bringing on themselves. In the Chinese langnam delicate sitarist of meaning Cr. given to the same word by a slight inflection. If, for instance, a Chinese merohant wanted to have • lonoh sent to his place of liminess, and gave the appropriate order, " Wang.wang," throush the telephone, it would very •eriously disturb his equanimity if the telephone people thought that he ordered a large and ferocious bull pup.
