the steamboat Buffalo and landed the pier Of the
Cemetery, which is a short distance below Commu-
nipaw, and few minutes walk brought them to
the grounds. The view Of the procession while

sight. After the usual formaities Of the Order
hymn was sung and Mr. Philip Merkle delivered
an address. Then the banner bearers came for
ward and planted their standards on the consecra-
ted ground, while the assembly closed the ceremo-

hands of a boy unknown to him. The package
was about 6 inches long by inches wide, and was
neatly done up in wrapping'paper, and addressed
to him in a neat and legible hand. Mr.. McNlce,
from the fact of his having been threatened by
certain individual few days since, was led to
believe that this box was an instrument designed
for his destruction After rejecting awhile on the
best course to pursue he concluded to convey 1t to
the Second Ward Station-house and laythe matter
before Capt Leonard. The Captain and several OF
his officers looked at the box and HOugh; finally
it was proposed that it should be taken before the
Chief of Police, which was accordingly done. The
Chief and bis aids scrutinized the box, or rather
the wrapper, bat felt no inclination to handle 1t.
Finally the receiver was requested TO place 1t IN
the wash basin, where it remained nearly three
hours and was then supposed to be thoroughly
saturated with water. Ii was then tax en- out and
opeped. when a beautiful mahogany box was
found. containing two daguerreotype likenesses OF
Mr. McEice's cousins which, from having been so
long IN the water, were nearly ruined.
