The Maribero’ /rince Georgian, of last week, in re- ferring to the case, mumates a suspicion of foul Ray and says: ‘That he had the means to secure accomme- dat.on cannot be doubted, when it is made koown that he left home in the porse sion of a sight draft of John W. Coftren, indorsed by Dr. John 8. Skinner for #250. hundred dollar Dank nots, and two individual notes for $25 each; that he bad me ie no purchases to absorb these sums, or either of them, aud that the draft and notes have not since been heard of. When his body was examined only asingle ten cent note was discovered about him. These facts plainly show that a crime of some character has certainly beon commit'ed—cither he was drug- gcd and robbed, murderc4, or his body be- spoiled after death in any event it is suffi- ciently heinous to for a searching exami- ion.” ———— EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—Mr. Editor: The Snal meeting of the Ev: lical Alliance was held in this city, to which members were so nobly welcomed by our governor, Alexander R.

It is asserted by some of our physicians that if Christian bas been into other grave yards than Potter’s Field he has nd his instruc- Field. Some of the physicians are very hard on Christian. They condemn his blandering action in keeping a diary and also in sending bodies outside the District and charge that he has betraved his trust; that he had no right to — of supplying the A BOBY MISSING FROM CONGRESSIONAL CEM- ErEry. It is stated that some of the friends of the late A.C. H. Webster, who was buried with Ma- tonic honors by Washington Centennial Lodge and Washington ered hapter of Masons on the 29th of October yt e jay found, with the aid of the sexten of thi ional ceme- tery, that his body had been removed. It will beseen by reference to the diary of Christian in Se Star that he mentions attending a funera) on that day, and of having taken away the corpee before 9 o’clock that night. MORE BODY SNATCHERS AT WORK. It has been ascertained that the body ofa colored woman, which was interred at the Har- monial buriai ground no longer than Sun- day last, has been drawn out of the grave and carried off. It would seem that there are other parties engaged in the business, as Christian Saturday eve- and his party were arrested on ning. The Blis« D: wi Wasnineton, D. C.

In view, however,of the recent developments as to his peculiar style of enforc- ing domestic discipline; also in the hope that the Fx-surveyor may survey it with profit; or thateome champion may enter the lists in be- halt of the young lady, clad in the panoply of the law: I beg that Pa will publish the follow- ing report, of @ similar case in our sister city, trom the ‘Bench and Bar,” published by Har- per and Brothers. It is a remarkably close tit for the aforesaid Ex-surveyor,and might be used as @ gcod precedert. Yours, humbly, BLacusTone. During the trial of a man named Pugsley, in Baltimore, for a cruel and Pepe peed essauit upon his daughter—a pretty and gentle gicl, just entering womanhood—it was proven that the accused had seized his daughter in the street, dragged her f-om the protection of sons {n whose company she was, and having reached home with his prisoner, there enter- tained himeelf by beating her unmercifully with a cart bong The defence interposed by hi: counsel was as extraordinary as the character of the misde- meanor of the accused, and among other argu- ments in justification of the father's brutality, it was urged that the daughter was unworthy of belief; that she was disobedient; that the ather’s ‘‘ finer feelings” made him solicitous to re orm the,girl’s heart; and that he had only obeyed the spirit of Solomon's maxim, ‘ Not to spare the rod lest he spoil the child,” etc. As the counsel finished his argument for the pay ogg Mr. ge siatnews, 6 member of the bar, han: 6 wing impromptu to the state’s prin oy ‘who closed the cane for the pt repeating it to the jury, with telling rect: e1 3 His finer feelings made him seek his child, To train her in ways uncommon mild; And lest her feet from duty’s path should slip, He kept her upright with a drayman’s whip.

If Pugsley’ rule the jury should endorse, His‘child will fare scarce better than his horse. The prisoner was convicted, heavily fined, and imprisoned for three months, by Judge Bond, of the criminal court. —_—_—— the rod; Liquor Licexsss aURCH Exemp- Tioms— Views of the German-American Repre- sentative Commitice.—A meeting of this organi- zation was held last evening at Turner Hall, Mr. Simon Wolf in the chair, and Mr. D.
