REsURRECTIONIsTs.

At the late Court OF Sessions, Solomon Parmeli
was indicted Tor msdemeanor in entering Potter's
Field and removing The covers Of ten collins deposi
ted in pit and covered partly with earth. The
statute OF thrs state making it felony to dig up or
remove dead human body, with intent to dissect
il, did not embrace this case, because the prisoner
had not dug up or removed the body. TWAS proved
on the trial by Mr.. Schuremau, the present keeper
of Poter's Field, that at about three O'Clock in the
morning, in the latter part of April, he suspected
that some person had entered the field for the pur
pose of removing the dead, and after sending for
two watchmen, and calling his faithful dog he went
10 ascertain the fact. On arriving at the grave he
found his suspicious confirmed and requested the
person concealed in the pit to oat TO shew him
self. No answer being given, MIR. Schureman sent
his dog into the pitt and, in the winkling of an eye
tall, stou, fellow made bis appearance, and took
TO his heels across the field. The night being dark
he might have effected his escape, had 1t not been
for the sagacny and courage OF the dog, who pursu
ed him for some distance, but at last came up with
him, seized and held him fast until the arrival oil
Mr.. Schureman and the wa'chmeD, who secured
him. On his way to the Watch house, he threw
from him chisel which had been used to force the
collins. The Counsel for the accused rested his
defence on the ground OF the prisoner being intoxi-
Gated and that he had retired into the grave TO sleep
and be protected from the night air. The jury con
victed him. and the court sentenced him to SIX
months imprisonment in the Penltentiary.
The young gentlemen, attending the medical
school OF this city, will take warning by this mans
fate. They may rest assured that the keeper Of
Fotters6ed will do his duty, and public justice will
be executed upon any man, whatever may be his
condition in lile who is found violating the Ia" and
the decency OF christian burial.
This robbing the grave of the dead, will be seen
by the following letter, is not confined to this city
Hartford, Con. .uay II.
Yesterday morning two ladies were taking walk
In the South burying ground when they discovered
a tape string and piece of cloth which upon exa-
minaton was found to be the piece that was laced
upon Miss Jane Bentons face, who came to her
death by drowning and was buried few days since
The ladies' then to the grave and found that II
had been disturbed that she drawn out OF her
coffin, and rope around her neck. The circum-
stance has produced great excitement in the public
mind and every one is on the alert to discover the
perpetrators OF this unfeelng, brutal act.
The citizens turned out 10 a body yesterday and
inferred the corpse again."
P. S. 1t is said they have got upon the track oil
the fellows.'
