Madame JENNY LIND GoLDscnNrDr appeared

A SISGULAR HoAx.-Wc have already in
formed our readers that an old soldie., named
Alexander, was last week arrested in Montre-
al, on suspicion Of having murdered his wife
and burned her body in-thc stoye. 1t was
clearly proved before the inquest, that he had
beaten her severely on the day of her sudden
disappearance, and quantity of bones found
in the stove were subjected to the profession
al and critical examination of three medical
gentlemen, who unhesitatingly pronounced
them human bones, and even went SO far as
to select and adapt each to each, thus saga
cousy and scientifically making out a very
perfect skeleton of woman of about the age
of the missing wife. This done, the inquest
rendered q verdict in accordance with these
circumstances To their utter CONSERVATION,
however, the murdered woman now appeared
in the flesh, and was duly recognized by her
relatives. a rc-cxamination Of the remains
followed, and the skeleton, instead of being
that of woman, was found to be that Of u
pig Thus the tragedy subsidized into COM
cdy, which, Gays the Montreal Herald, may
either be remembered aS the COMEDY of Err
rors," or as "All's Well that Ends Well"
