THE CREMATION OF MkS. PITMAN.—Mrs, Jane Pitman, wife of Benjamin Pitman, lee. turer on art in the Cincinnati School of Design, and author of the phonographic system bear. ing his name, died in that city Monday night, as heretofore stated in THz Star. Her will, which was opened on Tuesday, contained the following clause: ‘Inasmuch as I have long conceived it to be the most sensible mode ot dis| ig of our body, I desire my remains to be forwarded to Dr. Le Moyne, to be cremated in the furnace built by him for that purpose at Washington, Pa. r.

There will be no religious service of any kind, and the process of cremation will be performed in the simpiest manner possible.

THE Law AND THE Lapy.—A few days ax. internal revenue officers went to to the res dence of Mrs. Lydia Wings, of Tazwell county, Va., for the purpose of arresting her on charges of illicit distilling and violating the, whisky laws. They found her in bed; she re fused to get up, and told them if they’ wanted her they would have to take her by force. In this dilemma two officers set to work. While one pulled on her stockings and garters and shoes, the other hauled her to a sitting po tion, and bunglingly endeavored to put amass of skirts, waists, dresses and other articles of attire in their proper places. As soon as the officers had put on as many clothes as they supposed a woman should wear, they stood her up, shook out her skirts, ted a shawl about her head, and carried her between them to the county jail. HORRIBLE MURDER OF A MAN AND WIFE. The house of James Normally, a respeciable white man, ten miles south of Goldsboro’, N. » Was entered Monday night and himself and wife brutally murdered, it is charged, by anegro man named Noah Cheny. The out- rage was not known until Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock, when a little girl of the murdered couple informed a neighbor, who happened to be a constable, who came to the house on business. The child said that Uncle Noah killed her father and mother with a club, The only cause that can be attributed for the commitial of the horrible deed is that the negro had an old grudge against Worm y. ae, pegro kas been arrested and cominitied to jail.
