On Saturday night, the house of Mr. Park, near Lebanon Church, a few miles from Henryville, was broken open by a party of desperadoes, who beat out the brains of Mr. and Mrs. Park and their son, aged ten years; two daughters, fourteen and fifteen years of age respectively, were also clubbed until they were senscless, and were found the next morning in a dying condition. Slight traces of the murderers were discovered ; but finally the exegtions of the sleuth hounds of the law were crowned with success, and three negroes, of notorious bad character, named Squin Taylor, Charles Dixon, and George John- ston, were ar t too strong for contradiction pointing them out as the perpetrators of the bloody deed. -- One of the accused subsequently made a full confession, saying that the crime was committed to obtain possession of a small sum of money, which the unfortunate Park had tly coll The sequel is nearly as atrocious as was the horrid crime itself. The murderers were placed in the county gaol at Charlestun. 'The Hh HY tb ink . and of lynching the were openly made, but no extra precaution was made by the authorities to prevent suchan outrage. about forty disguised men suddenly made their appearance in the streets of Charles- ton, and without alarming many of the inhabitants of the towa, marched silently and orderly to the gaol. The gaoler was soon aroused by one or two of the crowd. who made some pretext for wanting ad- mission at such an unusual hour. The door beingopened to permit them to enter, the whole crowd made a rush for admis- sion, and a number effected an entrance. The cellin which the murderers were con- fined was forced open ; the three men were roused from their slumbers, and taken about two miles from the town ani hung to two trees. Making sure that their job was well done, the mob: quietly dis- persed, leaving the bodies of the malefac- tors dangling from the trees, where they were discovered this morning by the citi- zens. When found, Taylorhad been strip- ped naked and burned in a number of places with brands from a fire which the mob had kindled, probably with the in- tention, as expressed by them, of roasting them alive. It is strongly intimated that the negroes madea confession beforedeath. Taylor and Johnson were hung on the same tree; Dixon on another tree some hundred feet distant. The mob was made up of citizens from the vicinity of Henry- viile, Utis county, and Charlestown. The Coroner's inquest held to-day, rendered a verd.ct that they came to their death by violence, being hung by parties unknown.

An eye-witness of the recent devastating | fires near Uniontown, Wisconsin, relates | an incident, occurring during the conflagra- | tion, which is absolutely unparalleled in the history of all similar horrors. He writes : -- " The most horrible of all was at Boor- man's well. Mr. Boorman'shouse wasthe largest in the village, and in the centre of the yard, midway between the house and barn, was a large but shallow well. Sev- eral of the neighbors were supplied with water from this fountain, and it is likely that in the conflagration, when all hope was cut off the neighborhood, insane with terror, thronged with one purpose to this well. The ordinary'chain, and wheel pump used in that place had been reinoved, and the well as the last refuge. Boards had been thrown down to prevent them being | drowns d, but evidently the relentless fury of the fire drove them pell mell into the | pit, to struggle with each other and die, some by drowning and others by fire and suffocation.

Considering the mil- | lions that England expends for naval pur- | poses, it is curious that so little regard has | been paid to the creation of a powerful | transport fleet, England ought to com- mand vessels in abundance for the convey- | ance of her soldiers, and she need never lack employment for her shipping if she [ PP! inhad vy 11: tions of their limbs and the agonized ex- pressions of their facestold the awful ta'e.

FIGHT FOR LIBERTY. $f in the penitentiary of Bruch- the Grand Duchy of Baden, has recently succeeded in burning down the greater' portion of the prison. Carl Schawble, a notorious desperado, was in- carcerated for robbery with violence. He wrenched off a portionof his iron bedstead, | and broke open his cell door. Shoulder- ing the instrument of escape, he deliber- ately marched through the corridors un- molested, and made for the jailer's room. He forced the door and entered. He ar- rayed himself in the jailer's overcoat and hat, and exchanged his fragment of bed- stead for the official's sword. As he was stalking through the building, on his way to/the outer gate, he was discovered. An alarm was given. He made for the chapel, | scaled the wall inside, crawled through a | window, and climbed to the) roof of the building. He ensconced himself behind a parapet, forced 'out a number of stones and hurled them down upon Ris pursuers. Several shots were fired at him without effect.

He sold his soul to the devil, to purchase success in hunt. The fiend was to have him in seven years ; but must always be able to name the creature at which he was shobting, else the compact became void. After that day the fowler never missed his aim, and never did marksman command such wages. When the seven years were out, the huntsman told all these things to his wife, and found wisdom in counsel. The wo- man took off her clothes, daubed her whole body with molasses, and rolled her- self up in a feather bed, cut open for this purpose. Then she hopped and skipped about the field where her husband stood parleying with old nick. " There's a'shot for you : tire away," said the Devil. "Of course I'll fire, but do you first tell me what kind of bird itis; else our agree- ment is up, old boy." There was no help for it--the devil had to own himself non- plussed, and off he fled, with a whiff of brimstone which nearly suffocated the huntsman and his good woman. Taz Last or THE Stuarts. --The last of { the Stuarts has been gathered to his fath- ers, and that great but unfortunate family is now extinct. The deceased who passed away in miserable obscurity in Italy, was said to be a descendant of the celebrated | Cardinal York, bruther of the Chevalier, | who invaded Scotland in 1745, and about | forty years ago, in company with an elder | brother, he visited that country. The ex- | traordinary personal resemblance which | buth of them bore to the portraits of tke memorable family then struck all with ! astonishment, and impressed every one | with an opinion that their assertions were | srue. The deceased gentleman had in his | face a striking likeness to the expressive | features of Mary Queen of Scots, mingled | with much of the melancholy impressed on | those of Charles I., and his own alleged | father, Henry IX., when he struck a | medal i1 1788 bearing the title of "" King { of Great Britain France and Ireland "-- | Grati- Dei, sed non voluntate homintim.-- (By the Grace of God, but 1 ot by the de- | sire of men.)

It advises that Germany be paid in bank notes as England's only safety against in- vasion and ruin. The liberal party in Germany also have their fears, as the possession of so much ready money may be employed by the Government for crushing out liberty at home, as well as forambitious warsabroad. It is regarded as injurious to commerce, in the present staje of the money market, to keep so many millions of coin locked up in the 'treasury vaults. The Prussian Chancellor, however, only lays down the same principles as he did before the Ads- trian war, and at othertimes whenever the Opposition attacked this policy.

They were found dead in the roads and open spaces where there were no visible marks of fire near by, with'not a trace of burning upon their bodies or cothes. At the Sugar Bush, which is an extended clear- ing, in some places four miles in width, corpses were found in the open road, be- tween fences, which were ouly slightly burned. Nomarks of fire were upon them, but they laid as if asleep. The phenom- enon secms to explain the fact that so many were killedin compact masses. They | séemied to have huddled together in what | were evidently regarded at the moment as the safest places, away from buildings, trees and other inflammable material, and there have died together. Fences around cleared fields were burned in spots of only a few rods in length, and elsewhere not wouched. Fishes were killed in the stream, We hear the universal testimony that the prevailing idea amoug the terror stricken people of these places was that the last day had come. They need not be terror-stricken forsuch imaginations.

This financial policy, on the Chancellor's own showing, must be regarded as a menace, if nut to England in particular, yet to Europe generally.

Hall & Kimbark's iron store, and Jewett & Root's stove store, present a singular appearance. They were very ex- tensive establishments, and the iron and ste] which filled several stories of the former, are fused together, making an al- most solid mass. Itds too heavy to be re- moved, and although a large number of men have been engaged-for the past two weeks in attempts to disintegrate it, they have, as yet, made but little impréasion upon it. The seven or eight thousand stoves in Jewett & Root's wiirghouse, are also melted almost solid, and the last we have heard is that they were about to at- tempt to blow them asunder with gun- powder.

' as their candidate for the House of Com- dist. ; when the sky, so dark before, burst into great clouds of fire, the beasts of 'the forest came running for succor into the midst of the settlements, and the great, red, consuming, roaring hell of fire fell upon all around. The dreadful sceme lacked nothing but the sounding of the last trump--and indeed the approach of the awful roaring, and the prewonitions from the distance supplied that to the ap- palled imagination of the people. ist Tae the Fre (Omaha) Herald p ts this proposition :--*' It is the' duty of every one to burn corn for fuel this winter. Figure like this: 300 families in this city, each family consumes $40 worth of fuel during the winter; this amounts to the snug little sum of $12,000. This money is spent for coal, goes out of the country into the hands of capitalists, and is seen no more by us. Reverse this situation $12,000 will buy 60,000 bushels of corn at 20c per bushel--this amount of corn, if burned, would raise the price of corn 50 per cent, and would benefit the farmers more, perhaps, than any other move that can be made by the people."

The present age is so fast that it has absolutely | outrun itself, and is busy speaking, think- ing and acting for its saccessor. Some people even go as far as thelast act of this edrth's drama and see the curtin drop on its terrestrial doings. A Mr. Hercules Ellis, of Dublin, is amongst these.. His great business and pleasure, it would ap-' pear, is to direct attention to the subject of the earth's ultimate destruction: His theory is startling; but, happily, it will take a good many thousand years to work it out. He tells us that this earth is des- tined in its turn to take the place of the sun in the solar system. Thesun isslowly burning away and melting into gases ; as these cool down there will be winter in the sun, and our globe will supply the issing heat. C cing atthe equator, an increasing fire will diffuse itself over the whole earth, scorching up life and vegeta- tion, and melting the earth's crust into, a gasosphere. Throughout this period the moon, which is now an ice bound planet, will bask in vivifying rays, and enjoy the genial warmth which at present belongs to us. Gradually our globe will once more cool down, but unless a larger facility for accommodation to altered gircumstances shall have taken place, animal life will be represented solely by a race of salaman- ders.' Tuar the skin of the Ethiopian is toler- ably sccure from change has ever been an undisputed fact ; . yet, according to the most recent revelatious of sciene, such is the case no longer. A San Francisco | dcctor has discovered a process by which a white man can be transformed into a negro, which is certainly no less remark- able than that the African should be con- verted into a vhite man. 'The surgical operation, that has become so cormon since its rece.t discovery, of transplanting a portion of skin from other part of the body, or even from some other person, to an ulcer, for the purpose of starting a new growth of cuticle, was performed upon the arm of a white man of 25 years, and a ruddy complexion, the borrowed cuticle having been taken from the arm of 8 full-blooded negro. The experiment was a success, 50 far as the ulcer was con. cerned ; but, to the horrur of the victim, the black skin is spreading rapidly, and the pleasing probability is that he will soon become a negro: Of curse, a ocrrespond- ing operation ou a negro might go far to- ward making him what our Svuthern friends call *' Caucasian." ' "A emi of the period" comments thus upon Mormonism : "How absurd--four or five wives for one man, when the fact is each woman in these times should have four or five husbands. It would take about that number to support her de- cently." | | from Ontario will fight against the pro- posel to the death, but it will be no use ; Hav is up to £33 per ton in Boston and New York, and speculators from the other for Quebec will present a solid phalanx to | aid New Brunawick, as she did Nova Sco. | side are now in Canada buying up, press- will soon be asking for herself also!
