Wiillam Mack, of New York, also testified to tne py peed of Passaic as being Ripley, and ad a better record than 2:40 at the ume of the contest in Cuba.

Judd himself is perfectly confi- dent of beating any time tat has yet been made, and last evening offered to bet $250 that he would walk 85 miles in the next twenty-four hours. In order to beat Weston’s time he has cnly to walk & little over three miles an hour, and as he intends walking without rest until four o’clock this morn, ing he will be able to Make a short rest and have plenty of time on hand. Physically he 18 as sound as aman can be, and has not the slightest intention of giving out, as he Jeels ft to walk four days more.

He looked pretty well, but on the 259th mile he Made a hait to change some clothing, aud after a rest of sm. 408. he stopped op the next lap to fx his boots, a delay that lost 6m. 20s. He walked the 26vth mile considerably wetter, making the seven laps in 15 minutes, at The rate of 4 miles an hour.

BREAKFAST, These constant delays were rapidly throwing him back, but he still felt perfectly confident of accomplishing everything he bad undertaken. At the conciusion of his fourth day he vad com- pleted 274 miles, and he then rested eigat minutes and had bis feet rubbed and socks changed. Judd now began to appreciate the extent of the task he proposed to accomplish, and walked five mules without a halt, making the distance in about 1b. 24m. Finding that pace a littie siow he quick- ened it in bis next mile and walked it in 16m, | On bis 281st mile he stopped at 12h. 10m. to get | shaved, That operation and some change ol socks |nd shoes occupied avout tweive minutes, He made another halt of eight minutes on his 283d mile, and on the 284th he made a stop of about Swenty-six minutes, during which time he ate his dinner and had lus feet bathed and rubbed. His meal appeared to agree with him, as he started Bud waiked a good mile right after it, making the distance in a little over fifteen minutes, He then walked very steadily, making the next five miles m 1h, lim, 37s., and completing his Booth =mue in 3h. Sim. 54s. He took a rest ofa couple of minutes, and walked bis next mile in 16m. 25s.

Brieily, the case 18 as lol- lows:—Messra. Stokes and Fish, on Saturday, 16th of July, 1871, had a match race for $2,500 @ side between the chestaut pbhine and brown mare Juno, to come off at Fleetwood Park, uader the national rules. When the day lor the race to be troited arrived the principals Were at the course; but a summer shower coming up just before three o’clock and lasting fifteen minutes or thereabouts, the ques- tion of “good day and track” was discussed, Stokes at last deciding that the track Was not good, and immediately afterward went home or left the grounds, Shorvly after, nowever, President Van Courtiandt appointed as juages Messrs. Sheppard F. Knapp and William Shaw, who, together with himself, went into the stand, and cailed up the horses, Only Juno appeared, who jogged around the track, Whereupon the race was awarded to her. Subsequently, upon a cer- Uficate or order being presented to Mr. E. A. Buck, the stakeholder, the $5,000 was handed over to Mr, Smith. On the following Monday Stokes weat to the truck, bad judges put on the stand, Josephine brought out and jogged around the track, woen Stokes claimed the stakes, Tne case | wus presented to the Board by counsel, and sev- erai witnesses were examined and documentary evidence produced. Decision—The Board aftirm the decision of the judges of the race and the action of the Fleetwood Association that Mr, Smith had won and was entitled to tue stakes, No. 182, R, J. Wheeler, of Loledo, vs, Graves & Loomis, of Chicago.—In this complaint it was beid that the mare Clementine bad been entered and trotted in various purses Where she was in- eligible. In addition to the allegations of the complainant, various articles had been in prominent journals, devoted to the pubiication of sporting —maiters, that it would be proven before the Board that the mare was (raudulently entered im tne several Messrs. Graves & Loomis Showed by undisputed evidence that the charges related to a different animal. The case had been continued from sitting to silting of the Board to allow Mr. Wheeler an opportu- nity to supply the additional evidence promised, | but be failed to do so, and admitted in a recent communication to the Board that he wzs unavle to make good his assertions. Decision—The Board, as an act of Justice, and from a sense of right to Messrs. Graves & Loomis, hold that tke charges against them have not been proved, and therelore dismiss the case. No, 244. W. M. Homphreys, New York, vs Tragansett Park Association, Providence, R. peal from an order suspending him aud the chest- nut gelding Judge Fullerton for non-payment of entrance money.—Decision—The Board decides that Mr. Humphreys cannot be held for the en- money. 278, Owners and others of bay mare Ameri- irl vs, Narragansett Park As-oclatlon—Ap- peal trom an order suspending Amer'can Girl jor bou-paymeut of her entrance fee.—In trying the case William Lovell, the owner of the mare, appeared and claimed that he was not at all concerned in the matter of her en- trance, but that his driver had made an arrangement with William M.

Kain then came on and the race Was postponed until the next morning, when the judges, remembering that a protested horse winning @ heat the distance 18 waived, al- lowed the distanced horses toagain trot, with the result as stated, It also appears that the protest against Unknown was withdrawn during the race, the party making it fearing that he couid not’ ob- tain sufficient proof to substantiate it. Decision— Claimant's appeal not sustaimed, the action of the judges being indorsed. No, 247. John A. Batchelor, Chicago, Ill, vs. B. 8. Wrignt, Boston, Mass.—Protest and complaint alleging an ineligible entry of the chestnut mare Molly Morris at Beacon Park.—iIt seems that in | the 2:28 race at Beacon Park, September, 1874, Molly Morris, owned by respondent, was protested by Mr. Batchelor as having won 4 heat in better time than '28 at Freeport, fl. Mr. Wright was not then aware of such record, and, having consuited the driver of the mare at Freeport on this point and obtaining @ general denial, allowed her to proceed tn the race. Subsequently Mr. Batchelor 56 | Visited Mr. Wright in Boston, and being sa istied | that the mare bad obtaimed the record at Free- port reiunded the money won to the Beacon Park Association. Mr. Wright appeared belore the Board and stated the facts im the ca-e as above, and asked such lenient ruling as they deemed proper in the matter, An affidavit of Mr. Batchelor made subsequently to his visit to Mr. Wright was also suomitted, In which he staies his belies in the sincerity of Mr. Wright's deciara- von regarding his iguorance of the previous :e- cord of Molly Morris. Decision—The Board under the circumstances fine Mr. Wright $500, and, alter payment, all penalties against himself and mare be removed, No, 325.

A Walter's Unrestra)mea Wrath—Car- ving Knife vs, Soup Ladle. John & Berbling an Conrad Odinet had nothing akin, though Qhe was @ waiter and the other @ cookin the Maison Doree, As a result they | quarrelied yesterday morning. Berbling went into | the kitchen atabout pine o’clock ana calied for some | meat, Odinet said in reply that the meat was | Rot yet cooked, and in @ satirioal way added that | Berbling snould not be im wo great a hurry. | The latter answered ina Sharp tone and then went | to the/dining room. Soon afterward he returned to the kitchen, when Odinet, pointing to tne meat standing on the range, told him that it had been there for a long time. Berpling understood from the remark that the meat had been cooked when he askea for it before, and, becoming very angry, asked why Odinet had deceived him. The malicious cook replied that he had chosen to do so, and told Berbling to leave his savory do- main, The walter determined to show that he was truly a waiter, and therefore did not move, Odinet felt that bis rights were in- | | vaded, so he picked up a horrible weapon of offence, in the shape of a _ soup ladle, and dealt ne waiting waiter a | | severe tlow on the head. Berbiing now moved toa \able whereon he saw a large carving knife. He grasped the kniie, poised it in the alr and then | cast 1% at the cook. it struck that unfor- tunate in the back between the shoulders, | Making a long and deep cut, Odinet eli prone upon the floor, and mot even the shock of his fall was sufMcient to throw tne knife out of the wound it had made. Her bine was horrified at his act. He was unable to leave his place, and stood mute, looking at the prostrate cook. Other walters heard the noise of Odinet’s fall, and ran into the kitchen, Taking in | the occurrence immediately, they gave an alarm and Omcer Kilkenny, of the Fifteenth precinct, | entered the kitcnen and arrested Berbling. | Odinet’s wounds were dressed at the hotel, and he was then conveyed to the Fifteenth precinct station, whence he was sent to Bellevue Hospitah The cut is deep and long, and, thougn palniul, will probably not result fatally. Berbling, the cutting waiter, | 18 now in the Fifteenth precinct station. He has | on bis head an unusual capital development, re- | sulting from the blow which Odinet gave him with the ladle. OBITUARY. Thomas W. Marshall. Thomas W. Marshall, a young artist of merit, died in this city on Thursday, of pneumonia, after @ short iliness, He was the son of Mr. Gilbert N. | Marshall, of Brooklyn, and was born tn that city. | At the time of his death he was only in his twenty- fourth year. Mr. Marshall received no regular traiping in his art, but, showing a decided taste for oi) painting, he set up his easel in the Studio | Building, in Fourth street, and went to work. He | studied nature according to his own fancy ana | Wrought out results that were very like genius. Two years ago he visited Europe and brougnt home some interesting studies from Brittany and Switzerland. A French scene, “L’Abbaye d’Vil- | llers,’’ in the present exhibition of the Brookiyn Art Association, ts one of the fruits of this tour, aa Was aiso his picture at the Academy Exhibition in 1873, The latter piciure was an interior at Bar- | bison, France, and it was regarded asa work of | great merit, Last spring his Academy picture Was “A Late Afternoon in the Forest a: Keene | Flats, Adirondacks,” Mr, Marshall came back | from his summer stuaies early in October, and had just settied aown to his winter work when the | aisease which carried him away overtook uim. Juan Echeverria, M. D. Dr. Juan Echeverria, an old and well known physician and surzeon of this city, expired at his residence last evening in the filty-first year of | nis age. He was born in Panama m 182, |and came to. this city at an early age. Among the members of the medical profession he enjoyed the hirhest reputation for | | natural talent and varied experience, both in sur- gery and medicine.

He was higaly es- teemed by those who knew him, and ‘he uews of his sudden death irom heart disease will be deepig regretted by all who knew him. THE TRANSIT OF VENUS To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— In your paper of yesterday I read a very inter- esting communica‘ion on the transit of Venus, by Professor Frisbee. He asks, “What caused the phenomenon of 1769, known as the ‘black drop,’ ligament, or ‘nine pin,’ as describea by different astronomers? Did it occur again in 1874,” &c. I will venture to predict that it did occur, and | that subsequent reports from all or most of the | expeditions will determine that the “black drop”? Mentioned is n thing more or less than the satel- lite of Venus, discovered by Cassini in 1672 and 1686. In the Memoirs of the Academy of Berlin for 1773 will pe found the resuit of obser- vations of the satellite by the celebrated astrono- | Mer, M. Lambert, who determined its magnitude, orbit and revolution. In 1740 Mr. Short proved its existence. (see Philosophical Transactions, 1741.) | Mr. Montaigne in 1760 gave a detailed account of | the satellite. Very many astronomers of great note at the period named confirmed the fact of its | existence. Respectiully, YONKERS, Dec. 10, 1874, | THE EDUCATION OF THE SEXES, Protessor Gunn, of the Medical College for ; Women, delivered a lecture last evening before | the Liberal Club, His subject was “Tne Education | of the Sexes.” The lecture presented nothing new as an argument against the existing defects a and abuses of our present systems of education, | and the improvements the lecturer pro- posed have been time and again suggested by every “liberal” lecturer who has taken the education of women jor his text. Still the lecture was an interesting one. Although there were many young girls present in the audience the Projessor dealt plainly and without any cir- cumlocution with matters ana things which are seldom, ana even then very delicately, touched upon in lectures to a mixed audience of both sexes. Dr. Gunn contrasted tne different way in which boys and girls are brought up, and de- nounced the fashions of dress, which created such deformity in women and often rendered their lives @ waste and a burden.

The Spiritualistic ceremonies consisted chiefly of encomium d messages from the de- ceased in the spirit lana, through the persons of “trance mediums.’ The cold weather begins to be felt among the Paterson poor, and it is feared that some measure will have to be s00n taken by the people to pre- vent suffering from destitution. Still there does not appear to be actually so much suffering this winter as jast in Paterson, partiy because there has some 5,000 or 6,000 people left the city insearch of employment elsewhere, and because the silk branches of industry other than the locomotive shops are quite busy, and even in the latter there are consid. erally more at work than there was last winter after the outbreak of the panic.

The HEgRALD has already published special de- Spatchos relative to the prevalence of an epidemic now raging at Alexandria, De Kalb county. Alex- andria is situated in a wild mountainous country, Which is usually considered one of the most salubrious portions of the State, The inhabitants, in general, are hale, hearty and healthy, and here- tofore no grim-visared epidemic has ever disturbed the peaceiul serenity of their quiet locality. No locomotive comes thunaering near the borders of Alexandria and no electric current connects the sequestered village with the outer world. Slow Ox teams plod their weary way through the lonely streets, and the tri-weekly stage brings in all the passengers, takes in all the meagre mail, and brings back the same to the almost equally Iso- lated village of Lebanon. Under these circum- stances It 1s not to be wondered the epidemio that bas been rapidly increasing in violence shoulda create sad havoc in the vicinity before their near- est neighboring metropolis, Nushville, should even obtain the slightest information in regard to it, It was thougnt to have been abating, and I telegraphed you to that effect; vut later advices from the bisee Prye that it has not yetrun ite genres, but is, if anything, worse than 1b was at From being confined exclusively to Alexandria the enidente has spread to the surrounding coun- try. 1t seems to be travelling eastwardly, and has already made its appearance at Liberty, another little Mountain Village @ few miles distant. The entire population in that portion of the couniry are filled with consternation and do not know what to do to escape the terrible malady. Young and old are alike aiflicted, there being many chil- dren down withit and some have already died. Local physicians are baftied as to the true hature of the ailliction and cannot determine what pro- duces it, nor do they know how to care it or stay tts progress. It resembles cholera in that it at- tacks the stomach and bowels, and produces in most instances a speedy death, Some persons have fallen victims trom sheer negiect to take notice Of their condition, thinking it nothing more than @ common diarrh@a, They are taken, “doctor” themselves jor a week, when finally they send for a pliysician, who arrives too late to save them from @ premature deuth. In several instances whole families have been stricken down with the disease. leaving, perhaps, only the youngest and most helpless, woo would be unable a render any assistance to the afflicted mem- For two weeks the disease, which was at first considered trivial, has been increasing and aug- menting in severity and fatality until it reached epidemic proportions. Since the first outoreak- ing twelve or more persons have died, while a large number are alariningly tl. Physicians nave exhausted their skillin endeavoring to point ont the origin of the visitation. It was at first sup- posed that some poisonous substance was con- tained in the water, but as it has not confined itself to any one locality that supposition is no longer deemed pilausi- bie. Another reason assigned is that this is the ‘‘hog-killing’ season, and the whole country is abounding at present in fresh spare Tibs, back bones and sausage meat, and every one is tempted to indulge too much in the animal deli- cacles and to overload his stomach with them. But it ts hardly probable that, should this be the cause of the disease, It would result so fatally and would, Moreover, not confine itself to that ex- clusive locality. The eatiny of pork is general at this time of the year, and yet in no other section has @ similar disease manifested itself, Physi- Clans state that in Tennessee at present diseases of ali kinds require unusually grave treatment, not that there is so mucn sickness in the greater portion of the State, but that the various diseases are of a more virulent type than usual. DIRE ASSASSINATION. The Midnight Murder of Postmaster Baur in Tennessee—A Swiss Settlement Filled with Horror—Arrest and Trial of the Probable Criminals. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 7, 1874. The HERALD has already published despatches in regard to the midnight assassination of J. Baur, postmaster at Grutli, Grundy county, in the Cumberland Mountains. Grutii is a thriving little village of about 400 inhabitants, all of whom are Swiss, and 1s much more prosperous than some of the other villages in the State composed entirely of American citizens. Mr. Paur was the leading citizen of the place, and was, in addition to being postmaster, @ justice of tne peace and the agent of Hon, Peter Staub, the consular agent for Ten- nessee, of the Swiss Confederation. He was the wheel that putin motion the whole machinery of the town. The following communication from the Hon, Peter Staub has been recelved here by Governor Brown, who will proceed to take actton upon it without delay :— Consunan AGENCY Yon T1rs Swrss CONFEDERATION, } of Ten- Kwoxviite, Dec. 4, 1874, To His Excellency Joun C, Brown, Governor nesse By telegram and letters this day received from Grutli, Grundy county, I am apprised of the at- trocious murder ot J, N. Baur, postmaster at Grutli, a leadn (4 aa of the Swiss colony in thatcounty and my sub-agen' ‘he murder appears to have been committed by dis- ised men, who, on the night of Monday. November & ot called Mr. Baur to the door of his residence and ot him. Four men have been arrested for implica- tion in the murder and are now in jail. ie e8 of these men I recognize as those of persons inimical to the Swiss residents of the county and the effects of the cowardly murder will necessarily be to, n a measure, deter swiss and German emigration to our Btate. 1am confident that you, as the Executive of the State. will promptly take such steps and action in the matter ag the exigency requires. 1am, Governor, your obedient servant, PETER STAUB, Consular Agent of Swiss Confederation. As the communication shows and as former de- spatches have already stated, the murder was com- mitted by masked men, who had evidently made up their minds to obtain, under any circumstances, what money they could from their victims, As soon as it was noised abroad that a most foul and atrocious murder had been committea a coroner’s jury was empanelled. The evidence that Mr. Baur was undoubtedly murdered for money furnished a clew-as to who might have been the perpetrators, and, on suspicion, four notorious characters were regarded as the probable parties concerned, One of the four bears the appropriate cognomen of ‘Hard’? Hampton, He 18 a lawyer and a citizen of Alamonte, a neighboring Village to Grutli, and was a recent candidate tor the Legislature, but he was forced to fall back on other resources in order to make a living. When a boy he began to cultivate a disposition to ap- propriate property of other people to his own use, and, even when in tender years, served a term in the Penitentiary tor robbing the mail. At the close of the war he was accused, with strong proof, of murdering an old man named Johnson, and more recently attempted to dispose of a man named Smitn, both of which crimes were to odtain money. He had ior many months fraudulently Let st the pension money of an old lady namea Purdom and had put her off from time wo time with various excuses, but bad promised to pay her at the time of the murder. It 1s supposed that it was for this pur- pose that the robbery was contemplated, Another noted character, who, it seemed, might ve had @ hand in the late murder, was a man named George Meyers, whose criminal rec might have excited the envy Of Many an old jati- bird, A few years ago he was in- dicted for horse stealing in Davidson county, and, more recently, he was known to have robbed the house of Colonel Banks, 4 prominent citizen at Beersheba Springs, the yreat watering place and summer resort o! the South. Two other young men named Pardom, whose characters were stained with crimes of @ heinous nature, were also arrested and brought to trial. One of them was @ travelling companion to 4 man who was ville, and on Purdom's representation, he having occupied the same room with him, !t was sup- josed that he had committed suicide, The other Purdom keeps clear of any officers of tue jaw in his community. The investigation reveals the fact that the four men had been out on & camp hunt, which meant that they might run down any game froma human being toa ground hog. From tracks discovered near the door of the murdered man there seemed to be four persons present, although he himseif gaw only two, the other two having stood on guard while their companions did the “business” of the occasion. After the arrest they were examined separately and questioned as to their whereabouts on the night of the mur- der, and each differed materially from the other in his statements, No two agreed as to their purpose in getting together or as to when and where they slept; but, on the other hand, two of them stated positively that they had not been together and the other two could not agree as to where they put up the night before, but they were seen at Tracy City, @ distance of fourteen mies, on the morning after the murder, and seemed to have After their arrest jor some article, when he was “lost on the run.’? cist ath pari ie ou! an committed It was of peculiar material, one asked another answered that it had been The woods were & of the masks worn who entered the the aeed was found. torn in i sack, having eye, nose and mouth hou with pieces of white sewed on below the eye The stuff composing the mask was fine, apd suc! @8 could not have Deen obtained in those parts from any country merchant, which circumstance formed a new link in the chain of evidence, and, rightiy followed wp, could not but lead directly to the guilty parties.

During the afternoon the Convention resolved :— That we disapprove of the (icense law of the State, and that we will use our best eni-avors to advance the cause of prohibition, and wat we hereby pledge our- selves against the use of iat xcaing liquors, wines, malt liquors and cider, aud will virow all our womanly intuence against anythinz of ‘he kind in the home, at rag entertainments and esp cially on New Year's ay.

The two little girls, named Adelaide and Julia Germain, who were captured by the Indians last September, and rescued on the 8th of November by a scouting party from General Mules’ expedi- tion, passed through this ci\y yesterday morning, for Leavenworth, in charge of Surgeon Powell. In commenting upon the capture and rescue of these children, the Leavenworth Comercial truly says, that im the whole history of {frontier warfare, with its chapters of Indian devil- wy and Savage brutullt), there is no sadder story than that wihico clusters around these orphans. Briefly ivld it is tnis:—Last Sep- tember a family of emizrauts named Germain, from the Blue Ridge regio. of Georgia, were on a Journey across the plains tu Olorado, Tney en- camped one night on the Smoky Hill, not jar from Sheridan station, and while at rest were surprised and attacked by a band of Cheyenne Indians, Of the nine members Of the family five were in- stantly butchered and jour carried into captivity. The father, Mother aud iviaut, a grown son and an invalid daughter were crucily murdered in cold blood, and thus escaped tie terrors of captive brutality, infinitely worse than the horrors of death itsell, The remaining members of the family— all girls—were placed on poues, and forced to en- dure the bardships Oi a rayid flight to the Texas frontier. Two oi the giris, Adelaide and Juita, aged respectively five and eight years, were re- captured some days ago.e The other sisters, Lucy and Ada, the former nineteen and the latter six- teen years of age, are still heid as prisoners, and supposed to be with Gray Eagie’s band of Chey- eunes, ‘rhe misery of the young ladies still in captivity can better be imagined tuan described. The story of suffering borne by the two children rescued trom the savage band was told in their own half- naked bodies, emaciated faces and woebe- fone countenances. fue eider, @ trail girl, ut old enough to know wental anguish and comprehend the terrible trageay which had be- fallen herself and ber own, was @ mere walking skeleton, worn to the shadow of death, when her Yescuers appeared. ‘Ihe younger, naturally the stronger Of the two, and perhaps unconscious of other than physical sude:iuyz, bore up much better than ner sister did; but sue too bore marks of hard- ship, and the heroism of her innocent suffering appealed to every sentiment of sympathy in the warm hearts of the gallant sodiers who rescued her. The officers and suidiers at Camp Supply and tn the fleld contributed so generously to the relief of the children that, alter clothing them comfortably, there was lelt in the surgeon’s hands $185 for their use. The children ib probably become the wurds of the Protest Orphan Asylum at Leaveaworth, HIGHWAY ROBBEXY 1N DAYLIGHT. (From the Cincinnati: Gazette, Dec. 7.] Frank Reinhardt, a German, about fifty-three years of age, residing at No, 52 Stark street, Cin- cinnati, started out on Saturday afternoon for Mount Airy, About hal/-past eleven at night he was seen wandering about Cumminsville, covered with mud and blood and bis head frightfally bruised. From whatcould be gathered trom hig statement it appears that while walking on the Colerain pike, near tie brow of the Mill, about half-past four o’clock, he was approached by two men, one of wuom, in German, asked nim to “Get his money out.” He replied that ke had none, whereupon botu assaulted him, striking him on the head with siung-shots or something of | the Kind, and stunning him almost on the instant. How long they beat him, or he lay there, he does. not know, bus when he recovered it was dark and he lay somewhere on a Dillside of the road. From there, tn @ half-unconscious condition, he made his way to Cumminsvilie. He was taken to the Tenth District Police Station, where he was recognized and removed to his home, Dr. Wer- ner, assisted by Dr. Emmet, treated his wounds. His scalp was found perforated to the skull with over twenty slung-suot wounds, the torehead exterior bone was slightly cracked, the third OQnger bone was found crushed to splinters ana required amputation, and the left hand was so bruised and swollen that the nature of its injuries are hardly Known. The physicians state that his wounds have produced coucussion of the orain, from which they anticipave the most serious re- sults. Mr, Reinhardt has for some time suffered irom paralysis of the brain, wuich so affects his walk and manner as to make bim appear as If partly mtoxicated. He is sover in his habits, and atthe time of the outrage was believed to have been periectly sober. ANOTHER BODY-sNATOHING CASE, (From the Indtanapoiis Journal, Dec. 7.) People living at Mount Jackson and in that vicinity were much excited yesterday when learuing that a grave in the Baptist Churcn Ceme- tery, Just west of the insaue Asylum, haa been robbed of its dead, On Thursday last Mr. John Spear, who was one of the old settlers of the county, just west of Indianapolis, died at the age of eignhty-two years, and on Friday he was buried in these grounds. Yesterday forenoon sime gentlemen who had friends buried there visited the cemetery, and walle among the graves noticed that tnis one grave was not more than two-thirds filled. They also noticed a plece of commun lying bear by, and their suspicions were at once aroused. Snoveis were obtained, and alter throwing of a foot of dirt they came to the empsy coffin, The news spread, and in a short time the friends and people living in that vicinity gathered avout the grave in large numbers, and had the resurrection- ists been there they certainly would have been roughiy dealt with. as the old gentleman was much beloved and respected, though not largely biessed In this world’s goods, His aged wile, who survives him, after hearing what had been done with the remains, was almost irantic with griel.
