AuvviouS HAuayi'
Inquest after nearly thirty years.-On
Wednesday an inquest was held in the
parish church OF Bennett, county Of
Donegal, before Mr.. Miller, coroner,
TO investigate the circumstances con.
nected with the death Of female
found buried in Ballikinard bog. 1t
appeared from evidence that while
some men were occupied cutting turf
on Friday evening, the 2lst inst, they
discovered the body. dressed in dark
stuff gown and fannel petticoat, with
a scarlet handkerchief tied round the
head. The body was in a state Of the
most perfect preservation, the flesh
not in the least decayed or shrivclled,
but perfectly firm, and free from all
unpleasant smell. The wretched wo-
mad had evidently been baibarously
murdered, as her throat was cut in a
most (rightful manner-the hair and
ribbon encircling the head, stained
with blood, and the left arm broken.
Several witnesses were examined who
clearly recognized and identified the
body as that of Betty Thompson, wife
Of Owen McSwine, deceased, who
suddenly disappeared in the month Of
May, 1914, under circumstances of a
most suspicious nature. 1t had al
ways been rumored in the neighbor.
hood at the time, that she had been
murdered, as was generally supposed
though. strange to say, no search
was made, nor did ever any inyestiga-
ton take place until the body was
accidentally discovered near the SUR
face Of the bog.
This neglect and want of inquiry is
the more to be regretted as there is
very little doubt that sufficient cvis
dence formerly existed 10 have led 10
the conviction Of the murderers. 1t
was really astonishing to see a human
for thirty years inhumedin bog, with
the lineaments apparently perfect
and unchanged as on the day the un-
fortunate creature was murdered; and
the clothes OF the deceased were un.
injured by the time. Even the small
pox, with which she was slightly
marked, was clearly discernible, from
powerful antisceptic properties of
the bog. The figure was finely pro-
portioned, and the limbs perfectly
elastic, and most exequisitely formed,
with beautiful dark hair flowing down
the neck, as If yelling from the eye Of
nature, the horrid deed of an unnatu.
raj assassin. To the credit of the pa.
rishloners, every exertion was made
to throw light on the mysterious deed,
but without effect. The jury found
that "The body was the body Of Betty
Thompson, who disappeared in the
month of May, 1914, and that she
came by her death in consequence Of
ii wound inflicted on her throat with
some sharp instrument, by some per-
son or persons unkuown.-Derry Pa

ATTENTION DRUMMERs. Messrs. Editors
While the cry of war is heard from all parts of
the Union, and mems souls swelling with indig-
nation, eager for the fray, allow me, as
one not quite so acIise, to suggest something
for the consideration of certain portion of the
community. IT'S this. There are now in this
city about l2 or Is superanuated drummers,
lounging about from one place to another, with
nothing to do, and scarcely any thing TO live
on. Having good deal of sympathy for the
fraternity, and thinking also, that it reflects
badly upon the active drummers, therefore
suggest (being good active drummer myself }
that all Of the active drunmers meet, at the
time and place appointed, for the purpose of
raising money to support the fraternity during
the summer months. | have no doubt that
they will all take an active part in this matter,
and will therefore say no more at present.
AN ACTIVE DRUMMER.

The EFFECTS OF THE WAR AT New Or
LEANS. The demand for money at New Or
leans has, it is stated, caused a pressure upon
the market, and the banks have become alarm
ed at the heavy expenditures of government,
which will require that funds should be sent
from the North. A letter to the U. S. Ga
zette, says:
"The government have not dollar of funds
here-are buying every thing on credit, and
paying enormously through the nose-the GER
tificates of the Quartermaster, for amounts due
for supplies, payable on demand SO soon as
funds arrive, are hawking about at every shaw
ing shop at eight to ten per cent. discount on
the face. Isaw one to-day for 81 100, which
was offered for $3.50, and no doubt 1900
would have been accepted. Last week hea-
Wy purchase of pork was made, $1,000 barrels)
at Is l-2, when the same quality could have
been bought for cash at 10 3-4-other things
in proportion-and this state of things with
$4,000 900 of surplus funds in the treasury.
Steamboats, and transports are chartered in
the same way-G and IS 1000 paid to steam
boat to the "Brassos ST. lago," run of 60 or
80 hours, and $500 per day demurrage.
