STRANGE AND MysrERIous.-Whil some persons
were engaged il exeavatng the lot in the rear of
No. 81 Liberty street, ON Thursday afternoon they
struck the lower part of an old sink, and found de-
posted y shuM- aud a number OF human bones be-
longing to skeleton. Upon farther search an old
fashioned English silver watch, made by Dodd of
London, numbered $780," was also found. The
premises, it is stated. were occupied for number
of years, previous to 1882, by apohecary, and it
is therefore presumed by some that the bones may
have been the remnants of dissection case under
his hands, and that the watch may have fallen into
the sink by accident We differ from this opinion
entirely, as the watch, if dropped accidentally could
have been easily recovered, and the ZONES would
have been more useful il preserved than thrown To-
to sink. We have reasons to think that murder
has been committed at some distant date, and the
body throwa into this snk TO avoid detection A
few days will lead to the result of this belief
SUPPOSED MURDER The vicinity of Tracy's al.
ley, Ill Sheriff street, was the scere of great
excitemf mt yesterday from the rumor that man
named Kehoe had murdered his wife Margaret. by
blows given her few days previous. The coroner
was sent for in great haste, and an investigation
Immediately entered into. The body ct tn decsas-
ed woman was thoroughly examined by DIR. VIM.
s. TOmpkins the nei ghbors were called IN 10 testify
10 all they knew, and the whele neighborhood was
ioused in anticipation of the horrid details resulting
from such investigation. After long and tedious
inquiry by the cOroaer, the result was that the de
ceased woman was of very Incorporate habis, her
husband ditto, that they quarrelled often, and that
he beat her on Saturday Rleht last IN such man.
ner as TO compel her to cry murder, watch, &c =
That the next morning she had pain ia her side,
and that she died the next day. The jury, after
full and patient hearing OF all these facts, together
with the evidence OF Dr. Tompkins. who found no
extrRal bruises evncing serious injury, returned
verdict Of death ftom Inflammation Of chest"

EpI7oRs INDIcrED FOR LIBELs We learn by a
private letter from New York, dated yesterday at
iernoon. three o'clock, that the Grand Jury OF New
York city yesterday morning found true bulls against
Express, and OF the New York American, for al
legged libel in The publication, concerning the Or
RanzatIon Of the Court for the trial OF j. u. Ben
nett Esq editor of the Herald.
This places the boot the ether leg pretty ef-
fecu ally, and will give Mr. Bennett an opportunity
retaliae rather severely upon those presses who
so DANGEROUSLY called for justice uron him when he
was upon trial for ofisnce, IN our estmateu, OF
far less aggravatiDg character Mr. Bennett was IN
dicted and lrled before the Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner, Tor humorous and harmless libel on the
Court Of Sessions, and convicted and sentenced
to fine and costs of over S3o0-the editors above
mentioned are indicted fer making serious and spe
rife charges Of bribery and corruption against the
Clerk and OF The ridges OF The Court OF oyer
and Termner, for not having INFLICTED severe pun
ishment upon Mr.. Bennett. Ii Mr.. Benneu's pun
ishmeat was slight, theirs must be exceedingly
heavy.
Thus discourseth the Boston Times" and very
likely with correctness. There is one point, how.
ever, in which we differ. We have no wish TO " re-
taia,e severely" on the w all street preserve have
no wish to invoke the vengeance of the law-we
have desire TO initiate the malevolence and hate
which they exhibited in our case, and by none mere
30 than Charles King and VIM. l.. Stone The
poisoned chalce has been returned TO their own lips,
yet if we could we would it might pass away. A
great and mighty revolution is going on in society,
and in the newspaper press, that, in few years,
will place both and the Wall street editors in our
p oper positions Misfortune and destiny will teach
generosity by due process of law, 10 these arrogant
and impudeni men.
