Mrs. Stiner was given a chair near tho wbipping-poet, and sorrowfully, but dutifully, watched the proceedings. Stiner took his punishment bravely, and seemed much less distressed than the observant wife, who wept. When the sixth stroke foil a pigli of relief escaped the throng gathered to see the whipping. A blanket was th'rowti about tho victim's shoulders, and he was hurriecl_ to his cell, \\ hero tho physician applied ointment to his scarred bhoulderi.
