GOOD-BYE. Kiss me and say aoea ty-; Good-bye; there is a- 'rd o Sax U this, Nor any lips left i : Nor any tears to shed wheN dry; Kiss me and say god-bve Farewell, be glad, foriet: There is no need to say "Iorget" I knov, For youth is youtil, arma time will have it so, And though you uips are pale and your eyes wet, Farewell, you must forget. You shall bring home your sheaves, Many and heavy, ana y ith blossoms twined Of memories that go not out or mind.; Let this one sheaf be twined with pop py leaves, When you bring home your sheaves. In garnered loves of tbire, The ripe good fruit of many hearts and years, Somewhere let this lie gray and salt with tears, It grew too near the sea wind, and the brine Of life, this love of mine. This sheaf was spoiled in spring, And over-long was green and early ser e And never gathered hola in the late year From autumn suns, and moons of har vesting, But failed infrests of spring. Yet was it thine, my sweet, This love, though weak as young corn withered, Whereof no man may gather and make bread. Thine, tnough it never knew the sum mer beat; Forget not quite, my sweet. OCTOBaR TnOUGHIS. Dr. Talmae' Flds a L-sson in the Mi grant Blids. BRooKLYN, Ot. 21.-Rev. Dr. Tal mage, who has left India and is now on his homeword journey, ha.3 selected as the subject ior his sermon today through the press "October Thought3." his text being Jeremiah, viii, 7, "The stork in the heaven knoweth her ap pointed times, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the judgment of the Lord." When God would set fast a beautiful thought, he plants it in a tree. When he would put it afloat, he fashions it in to a fish. When he would have it glide the air, he moulds it into a bird. My text speaks of four birds of beautiful instinct-the stork, of such strong af fection that it is allowed familiarity to come in Holland and Germany and build its nest over the doorway; the sweet dispositioned turtledove, ming ling in color white and black and brown and ashen and chestnut; the crane, with voice like the clang of a trumpet; the swallow, swift as a dart shot out of the bow of heaven, falling, mounting, skimming, sailing-four birds started by the prophet 25 cer tu ries ago, yet lying on through the ages with rousing truth under glossy wing and in the clutch of stout claw. I suppose it may have been this very season of the year-autumn---and the prophet out of doors, thinking of the Impenitence of the people of his day, hears a great cry overhead. Now, you know it is no easy thing for one with ordinary delicacy of eyesbgt to look into the deep blue of noonday heaven, but the prophet looks up, and there are flocks of storks and turtle doves and cranes and swallows drawn out in long lines for flight southward. As is their habit, the cranes had ar ranged themselves in two lines, mat ing an angle, a wedge, splitting the air with wild velocity, the old crane, with commanding call, bidding them onwarp while the towns, and the cities,-enid-the continents slid underithem. The proph et, almost-tlizided from looking inlt( dafling heavens, stoops down and be -gins to think how much superior the birds are in sagacity about their sa'ety than men about theirs, and he puts hli hand upon the pen and begins to write, "The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the judgment of the L'.rd.' If you were in the field today, in the clump of trees at the corner of the-flil you would see a convention of birds noisy as the American congress the last night before adjournment or as the British parliament when some unfor tunate member proposes more economy in the queen's household-a conventiol of birds all talking at once, moving and passing resolutions on the subject o: migration, some proposing to go to morrow, some moving that they go to day, but all unanimous in the fact that they must go soon, for they hay' marching orders from the Lord writteD on the first white sheet of the frost and and in the pictorial of the changing leaves. There Is not a belted kingfisher, or a chaffinch, or a fire crested wren, or plover, or a red legged patridge but ex pects to spend the winter at the south, for the apartments have already beel ordered for them in South America or in Africa, and after thousands of mile: of flight they will stop in the very tree where they spent last .anuary. Fare well, bright plumage: Until sprina weather, away ! Fly on, great band o: heavenly musicians! Strew the conti nent with music, and whether from Ceylon Isle or Carolinian swamps or Brazilian groves men see your wings o: hear your voice may they yet bethinl themselves of the solemn words of the text, "The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.' I propose, so far as God may help me in this sermon, carrying out the idea o: the text, to show that the birds of the airhave more sagacity than men. And I begin by partIcularizing and saying that they mingle music with their work: The most serious undertaking of a bird's life is this annual rlight southward. Naturalists tell us that they arrive thin and weary and plum age ruffled, and yet they go singing all the way-the ground the lower line of the music, the sky the upper line of the music, themselves the notes scattered up and down between. I suppose the song gives elasticity to their wing and helps on with the journey, dwindling 1,000 miles Into 400. Would God that we were as wise as they in nmingling Christian song with our everyday work! I believe there is such a thing as taking the pitch of Christian devotion in the morning and keepIng it all the day. I think we might taxe some of the dui lest, heaviest, most disagreeable work of our life and set it to the tune cf "An tioch" or "Mount Pisgah." It Is a good sign when you hear a workman whistle. It is a better sign when you hear him hum a roundelay. It Is still a better sign when you hear him smng the words of Isa~ac W atts or Charles Wesley. A violin chorded and strung, if something accidentally strike it, makes music, and I1 suppose there Is such a thing as having our hearts so attuned by divine grace that even the rough collIsions of life will make a heaveuly vibration. I do not believe that the power of Christian song has yet been fuliy tried. I believe that if you could roll the "Old Hun dred" doxology througt. the street it would put an end to aay panie. I be lieve that the discords, and the sorrows, and the sins of the world are to be swept out by heaven horn hallelujahs. Some one asked Hay dri. the celebrated musician, why he udways ccmnosed such cheerful music. 'Why." he'said "I can't do otherwise. When I thin k of God, my soul is so full of .ioy that the notes leap and dance from my pen. I wish we might all exult melodiously before the Lord.

Oh, for some o: the faith ot George Muller of Eoglant and Aifred Coodmar, once of th4 church tMilitant, now of the churct triumphant. So poor is the type o: piety in the church of God now tba1 men actually caricature the idea tha1 there is any such thing as a higher life Moles never did believe in eagles. Bul my brethren, because we have no' reached these heights ourselve?, shall we deride the fact that there are an] such hei2hts? A man was once talk ing to Brunei, the famous engineer about the length of the railroad froir London to Jdristol. The engineer said "It is not very great. We shall IavE after awhile a steamer running froir England to New York." They laughec him to scorn, but we have gone so fal now that we have ceased to laugh a! anything as impossible for humar achievement. Ttier, I ask, is anythin impossible for the Lord ? I do not be lIeve that God exhausted all his grac in Paul and Latimer and Edward Pay son. I believe that there are highei points of Christian attainment to b4 reached in the ,uture ages of the Chris tian world. You tell me that Pau went up to the tiptop of the Alps o Christian attainments. Then I tell yoi that the stork and the crane hav found-above the Alps plenty of roon for free tlying. We go out, and we conquer our temp tations by the grace or God and li down. On the morrow those tempta tions rally themselves and attack us and by the grace of God we defeat then again, but staying all the time in th old encampment we have the cil bat ties to fight over. Why not whip ou our temptations and then forwar( march, making one raid threugh th enemy's country, stopping not until w break ranks after toe last victory. D. my brethren, let us have sone novelt: of combiat at any rate by cha'Jgirg, b; going on, by making advancetnent traciag off cur stale prayers about sin: we ought to have quit lcng ago, goini on toward a higher state of Christial character and routing out sins that w, have never thought of yet. The fact I if the church of God; if we as indivl daals made rapid advancement im thi Christian life, these stereotyped prayer we havc been making for 10 or 15 y'ear: would be as inappropriate to us as the shoes, and the hats, and the coais w' wore 10 or 15 years ago. On, for higher tiight in the Cciristian life, the stork and the crans in their migratiol reaching 'is the lessorn D~ear Lord, and shall we over live, At this poor dying rate Oar love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? Again I remark tilat the birds of t'c air are wiser than we, because the; know when to start. If you should g out now and shout,"Stop. storks an< cranes, don't be in a hurry'" they woul, say: "No, we cannot stop. Last nigh we heard the roaring in the woods bid ding us away, and tne shrill flute of th north wind has sounded the retrea We must go. We must go." So the: gather themselves into companies, an turning not aside for storm or mountai: top or shock of musketry, over laad sea, straight as an arrow to the maril they go. And if you come out thi morning with a sack of corn and thro3 it in the filds and try to get them t stop they would hadly see it. They ar on their way south. You could no stop thenm. Ob, that we were as wise about th best time to start for Gcd ~and heave! We say: "Wait until it is a little late In the season of mercy. Wait unt: some of these green leaves of hope ar all dried up ad have been scatterec Wait until next year." After awhil we start, and it is too late, and we peris in the way when God's wrath is kindle but a little. There are, you know, C] ceptional cases, where birds have starte too late, and in the morning you hay found them dead on the snow. An there are those who have perished hal way between the world and Chrisl They waited until the last sicknes! when the mind was gone, or they wet on the express train going at 40 mile an hour, and they came to the bridge and the "draw was up," and they wen down. How long to repent and pray Two seconds I To do the work of lifetime and to prepare for the pas eternity in twao seconds! I was readin, of an entertainment given in a king court, and there were musicians there with elab&rate pieces of music. Afte awhile Mozart came and began to play and he had a blank piece of paper be fore him, and the king familiarly looke< over his shoulder and said' "Wha areiyou playing ? I see no music be fore you." And Mczart put his han< en his brow, as much as to say, I ar improvising." It was very well fo him; but, ob, my friends, we cannot ex temporize heaven. If we do not ge prepared in this world, we will neve take part in the orchestral harmonie of the saved. Oh, that we were as wis as the crane and the stork, flying away flying away from the tempest ! Some of you have felt the pinchiinj frost of sin. You feel it today. Yo are not nappy. I look into your facet and I know you are not happy. Thera are voices within your soul that wil not be silenced,teling you that you art sinners and that without the pardon o of God you are undone forever. Wha are you going to do, my friends, witi Ithe accumulated tra:negressioos of th! iifetime ? Will yocu stand still and le the avalanche tumble over you? Ob that you would go away mnto the warni heart of Goai's mnercy. The southeri Igrove, .redolent iwith magnolia an< caictus. never waited for northernilocck! at Gad has waited for you, saying:' Ihave loved thee with an ev'erlzsting love. Comne unto me, all ye who at weary and heavey laden:, and I w !! giv< you rest." IAnother frost Is bidding you aivay it is the frest of sorrow. Where d, you live now ? "Oh." you say,'"I hay: moved." 'Why dlid you move? Yo: say, "I don't want as large a house nov as formeerly." Why do you not vwan as large a house ? You say, "My famni ly is not so large." Where have they gone tc? Eternity: Your mind goe back through that last sickness and through the almost supernatuari effor to keep life, and through those prayer that seemed unavailmng, and throng! that kiss which received no respons beeanse the lips were lifeless, and I hea the tefls toliiig and I near the hearts breamlg--while I speak I hear their lbreah. A heart: Another heart! Alone alone, alone! TmIs world, which it your Mlbl'ed and bcvhood was sun shine, iscolu now, rnd,'oh, weary dov4 you fly arouend this world as though yot would like to stay, when the wind, ant would tid you away into the heart of an alt comforting God. Oh, I have noticed again and again what a botch this world makes ot it when it tries to comfort a soul in trouble' It says, - "Don't cr% :" How can we help crying l wben the heart treasures are scattered, a: d father is gcne, and mother is gone, and companions are, gone, and the child is gone, and everything seems gone? It is no comfort to tell a man no: to cry. The world cc.m es up and says mit is only the body ot your loved one that vou have put in the ground." But tiere is no comfort In that. That bxdy is precious. Shall we never put our ha d in that hand again, and shall wve never see that sweet face again? Away with ycur heartlessness, 0 world! inut care, Jesus, and tell us that when t-e tears fall they rail Into God's bot e, t h at the dear bodies of our loved on- shall rise radiant in the resurrec tion, ana all the breakings down here shall be lifting-up there, and "they shall fhunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat, for the lamb which is in the midst of tne throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes." You may have noticed that when the chaliaeb, or the stork, or the crane starts on its migration it calls all those of its kind to come too. The tree tops are full of chirp and whistle and carol and the long roll call. The bird does not start off alone. It gathers all of its kind. O, that you might be as wise in this migration to heaven and that you gather all your families and your friends with you! I would that Hannah might take Samuel by the hand, and Abraham might take Isaac, and Hagar might take Ishmael. I ask you if those who sat at your breakfast table this morning will sit with you in heaven? I ask you what Influences you are trying to bring upon them -what example you are setting them. Are you ,calling them to go with you? Aye, aye, have you started your self? Start for heaven and take your chil dren with you. Come thou and all thy house into the ark. Tell your little ones that there are realms of balm and sweetness for all those who ny in the right direction. Swifter than eagle's stroke put out for heaven. Like the crane or the stork, ston not night nor day until you Lnd the right place for stopping. Seated today in Christian service, will you be seated in the same glorious service when the heavens have passed away wI th a great noise, and the elements have melted with fervent heat, and the redeemed are gathered around the throne of Jesus? The Saviour calls. Ye wanderers come. Ob, ye benighted souls Why longer roam? The spirit calls today. Yield to his power. Oh, grieve him not away, - 'is mercy's hour. Tao MUch tor lm. AUtGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 24.-HarrIson Smith, a negro laborer who worked for W. H. & W. B. Brigham, and who lived in Summerville, commItted sul cide. He shot himself twice with an old Rritish bull-dog pistol. once in the breast and once through the heart. He was found dead about 4 o'clock last aternoon by a party of boys who were I out hunting in the woods in the valley a at the foot of Monte Sano, and in the rear of the Exposition grounds near the street car line. He was lying on the ground on hid Dack in a pool of his s own blood n~ud the pistol which had 5 done The work was tightly clasped In I nis right hand. In his pocket was found a razor, and from his having been so well armed it Is believed he had thoroughly made up his mind and twas determined to end his exIstence. Harrison's troubles were of a domes tic nature. He was the father of a lare amlywho were entirely depen dnupnhis labor for a support. His house was encumbered, and what made matters worse and caused him to be ecome despondent and lead him to com mit the rash act was the present of Stwins his wife made him on Sunday which increased the count of his chil idren from eleven to the unlucky num ber of thirteen. The large and sudden addition to his family broke Harrison up completely, and after meditating and soliloquizing he concluded life was a ourden and that the responsibilities were greater than he could bear and decided to shake off the mortal coil. After dinner, while returning to wort down the lonely road, Harrison con s cluded the tIme had come to destroy ~himself, and he walked into the woods 0 and after finding a quiet and secluded e spot under tha shade of the pines he laid himself down on the grass, pulled ehis little gun out of his pocket, placed eit to his breast and after closing his eyes pulled the trigger. rNot having been killed instantly he Simagined the bullet had missed the vit Sal parts, he located his heart by run * ning his fingers over his breast until he struck the spot where the throbs of the organ of life were felt palpitating, and there he placed his pistol and fired the second shot, which put his lights out. Some of the negroes were of the opin Sion that Harrison had been murdered, but there was no reason for that theory and it is believed that he Intentionally did It all by his lone self. The body was afterwards removed to the negro e church nearby, where it will be kept s until after Coroner May holds an in Squest at 10 o'clock this morning. Tremendous Frarie Fire OxAuA, Neb., Oat. 26.-Lashed on t by a furious wind the prairie tires that I are now raging in the northwestern s part of the State are travelling with 9 almcst lightingradidity and consuming everything in their track. Last night the blaze was driven through the central -portion of Sheridan and Cherry coun I sadin its track were the big t Osborne and Spade ranches and a num - ber of smaller ones. This morning not ia vesttge of these ranches remains, i except the bare and scorched ground. r Late this afternoon the lire is reported - to have reached Pullman, and the t whole country in that neighborhood is F a raging furnace. s it is not known whether any lives are a lost or not, but thousands of head of ,cattle have perished. People in the track of the fire are fleeing for their Slives, and leaving all the property to the mercy of the flames. At Homingford John Bliss, one of the men badly burned while fighting Ithe demon, is reported as dead and others of the victims dying. So far as can be learnedi the flames have not jumped the F:eomnon Ethorn and Mis souri valley Black Hill tracks but it is feared they may at any time. Little or no damage has been done as yet to rail road property on this line. The Bur lington railroad, as yet, reports no damage. The blaze is supposed to have been set by a drunken man near Mullin but this is not authentic. So far the flames have traversed a stretch of country over 200 miles in length and seventy milh s wide. The last report is from Hecla where considerable damage was -dorne. At this place ihe wind turned 'sou.th, driving the flames to an, as yet, unvisited cnty Porsatog the Cook Ghng. FoInT SmiTII, Ark., Oct. 24.-The -news was brought here today by Dep uty United States Marshals that the Cock gang of robbers who have been holding up trains and looting towns in the Indian Territory raided Gibson Station yesterday. They looted all the tshops, escaping with considerable boo ty but it is net known exactly how much the band raided. The band then raided the cotton lields in the vicinity and ro'bbed the pickers at work. They are being hotly pursued by Indian police and a strong posse of deputy marshals. News of a light in which the bandits may be exterminated is looked for at any moment. The pur. suing oflicers say thcy will show no Iqarter b the robbers. Aboolutety Pure. A cream or tartar nar1ng powder Highest of all in leavening strength.-L test United States Government Food Re port. Royal Baking Powder Company$ 106 Wall St., N. Y. UNDER NINE MILLION BALES. Ai Impirltial C.tion Statiettelan Givei Some Figurse. NEW ORLEANs, Oct. 25.-The local press will publish tomorrow a circular of Mr. A. J. R. Landauer.one of th largest exporters from the South oi American cotton, estimating the com mercial crop of cotton for the current season at 8,885,000 bales. Mr. Landauer estimates for Texas 2,700,000 bales, or an increase of 641,00C over last year; for the group of other Gulf States, embracing Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, 2,700,000 bales, an increase of 484.000; for the Atlantic States, embracng North and South Caro!ina. Georgia, Florida and Alabama, 3,485.003, an increase of 210,000 ba'es. C'cu!atld by percentage, he makes Texas gain 31 per cent., other Gulf States 22 per cent., and the Atlantic States 64 per cent. His views are pre dicated on personal observations made while traveling through sections of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, A:kansas and Texas and in addition to the reports of a large number of experienced corre spondents throughout the South. Referring to reports promulgated rel. ative to this season's growth, Mr. Lan da:er says: "From my own oersonal obseri ation ard from what I learn frorr reports received, I feel satisfied thai the yield of the present cropis exagger ate~d." He says the fact that 5,600,000 bale. were marke.ed from States other that Texas last year, notwithstanding th( very poor yield of the Mississippi Val ley oottoms, indicates that some very fine crops must have been raised it many sections of those States, leadinj to the inference that while good re suits may he obtained this season, the must be considered in a good man cases in comparison with like condi tions last season. He finds Texas Louisiana and North Carolina ahead ol all other States, while the hill lands od Arkansas promise indifferent and, ii many cases, poorer crops than last year. Georgia and South Ca.rolin crops are very much spotted, som( good, others not better than last year while the gain in Mississippi, is prin cipally in bottom lands which promis better than for years, while the up lands will give an increase. Mr. Landauer says that Egyptian an Indian crops will equal last season while the Asiatic crop promises t prove disappointing. He claims tha the spinning trade in England an Germany is improving; France report gc od trade with prospects of mills con tinuing to work full time, and that 1F Russia many of the most prominen spinners and manufacturers have con tracted ahead for their entire outpu for 1895. some having contracts up ti March, '96. In America, he looks for a considera ble improvement over last season, ant estimates the takhgs for the year b, foreign and dorrestic spinners at 8,600, 003 bales of American cotton and cal culates on this basis that should thi current crop reach 8.900,000, the visibl] supply October, 1st, 1895, will not havy increased Lore than 350,000 bales ove: that of October 1st, 1891. He claims that wIth continued los prices, India will not ship anythins like the quantity she has shipped thi last two years, and that with a redne tion of the Asiatic crop, the deman< for cotton from other centres will natu rally increase, added to which hi points to the probability of planter: holding back a great deal of tbi: year's product on account of loi prices, and as cotton cannot be raise< at present values, unless there is at improvement, next season must wit ness a consiaierably reduced acreage. He claims that the present heav, movement to market is not an indica tion of the crop, as it might be evel greater with an eight million orap and expresses the opinion that it i suicidal to sell an article which ha! gone far below the price of prodnction concluding as follows: "American cotton has no competi tior, and hence America is in a far bet ter position t adictate the price of thi; article than any oaher she exports. At a matter of course, if planters continui to rush their entire product to marks at once, if they are so frigntened b: current prices as to demoralize othere then It is possible we may witness ever lower prices yet. O2 the other hand if they market gradually and hold portion, their risk is certainly onli nominal, If any, and If no great ad vance be established, we might, for time at least, experience steady mar kets, followed by a healthy advance.

LoUIsVILLE, Ky., Oct. 24.-A special to the Times from Sturgip, Ky., says: A fearf cl and death-dealing plague oa diphtheria Is raging opposite Casey yile, Ill., and coilins carn hardly hi furnished fast enough with which ti bury the dead. Not fewer than forty deaths have occurred within the week, It is not uncommon to bury two chil dren in a single coilia. A man from across the river arrived at Caseyville today for the fifth colln furnished to one family. The plague has now crossed the Ohio anti is epidemic at Caseyvilie and Mulfordtown, having been brought thither by families fromu illinois leeing from its ravages. .A number of dangerous cases are de s eloping there and all the schools have closed. The community is in a general state of alarm. Among the few recov eries noted some hale been left bliud or paralyzed.

Oct. 24.-Slnce the assassination of Treasurer Copes of Orangebur, the treasurers turoughout the State are becoming frightened, anc many of tnem are writing letters to the oflice of the Comptroller General ask ig if there is no way for them to be relieved of collecting tours. Some of them truthfully say in their letters that affairs like the murder of Mr. Copes are contagious, and suggest sim iar crimes to bloodthirsty men. It would not be surprising to hear at any time of the murder or attempted mur der of some county orncer. It is proba ble that the next Legislature will cnange the law making it the duty of County Treasurer's to go on collect lg tours. It is an Uuecessary law, anyhow. as the county seats are the paces for th ecollection of taxes, and few taxpayers settle at the places visit ed1 by the trAsurers-StateA FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.

L ow..an, Chairman This makes a reward of fifteen nt Idred dollars hanging ove: the heads the men who were so daring as to si a gcod man in the open day time fo: tfew shekels of silver, and it is since: Ily hoped that it will prove eff ectual causing their capture and conviction Before the meeting adjorned Dr. iWilliam Stokes offered the follow1 resolution, which also was unanimoi -ly adopted: tWhereas, a sehsational report I ben ~ published in the Elmire, N. 3 Budget to the effect that five negr< had been lyuched for the murder ITreasurer Copes; and whereas, no au Slynching has occurred; and where suc'i reports are calculated to injt our county and State: SResolved. That the chairman of t emeeting be requested to contradict efe.se report through the columns oft rElmira Budget and also through Associated Press. That es a matter fact suspicion has not up to this til Spointed to any colored man in conn stion with the murder of Treasm -Copes. l In compliance with this request] -0. R. Lowman has, since the meeti: eforwakded the following letter to t sBudget, at Elmira. N. Y.: 3 ORANGEBURG, S. C., 0Oct. 27, 1894 rTo the Editor of the Elmira Budg IElmira, N. Y.: In a recent issue 1your paper appears a report from Colu -bia, this State, stating that five negr< had been lynched for the murder SCounty Treasurer Copes. The rep -Is utterly false, without any color 1 foundation. There has been nobe , lynched, and more than this, suspic 3 has not even been attached at any til 5 to any colored person in connect: , with the murder of our county trei urer. - At a mass meeting of citizens hi -today in our Court House a rewar:i ($1,000) one thousand dollars, over a 8above the ($500) five hundred offer Bby Governor Tillman, was guarante tfor the apprehension of the murdere Sand attention was called to the sta1 ,ment in your paper. Whereupon, 1chairman of the meeting, I was structedi to write this correctioD, a irequest that it be given the same pro inence that was given the false repo1 -Oscar R. Lowman, Chairman The reports that are above referr to are extremely sensational anda utterly without any foundation truth. A certain gentleman of c town received a letter this mornii from a gentleman in Masschuse1 stating that he had seen such a rep of the lynching of live negroes ana quiring as to the truth of such a repo it is not known whence such a rept could have originated, and this lett was the first information which ma: of our citizens had of such a report I ing in c.ircalatIon.
