Hung. —Two persons were recently hung in Robertson county for tampering with negroes.

Poison.—A vial of supposed poison was found in a well-bucket, at Mr. Thompson’s place, in Forkstown, one day this week. A meeting of the Vigilance Committee of that beat was called to investigate the matter. Nothing definite was discovered at latest dates. Let everybody be on their guard. Lincolnites must have been about recently.—Bellville Countryman.

Muggins found an old jack-knife the other day. His suspicions are aroused to the highest pitch, and he says, “let every body be on their guard. Lincolnites must have been around recently.”
