Skeleton Found The arms, legs and skull homes of
an infant were found in the Valley short distance
nor.h on Carnngton's Mil, last Tuesday after
noons by party OF boys who were at play Az no
one could account for their being above the ground

Is that they were the remains of some corpse dis.
inferred by the body snatchers" years age and
hurriedly Dnred afterwards to escape detection.
Oaoners of .2ares would consult their own I'm.
terest by hiring their servants by auction on the
lst OF January, instead of getting them homes nm.
der the present system. If all servants were pub-
hcly hired, they would get better masters, as q
general thing, and the owners would receive high
er prices, while the public would escape the an
of having to give the use of the sidewalks
for hiring purposes 8 !. =

BILE style. All in ALL the bah was worthy of the
occasion, and of the management who had the d.
rection of it. y .ssrf q f--.s s-F7-'G'
MISS M Parsingtoa, the danseuse, takes beue
fit at the Theatre tonight, and in addition to rich
eiii, which must prove attractive, is to have the

song. Miss p. has contributed her full quota to
the amusement Of the play goers this season, and
deserves, IN return, a crowded house.

ry ball, which promises to surpass any other given
by tnat company Those who wish to attend it
would do well to secure tickets at once 80
Dog Stealing is not only the meanest sort Of
tneft out is also as great crime under the law of
the state as horse stealing, and may be punished
in the same way. When this fact is made known

stealing dogs to get reward, they may get their
own consent to give up the prafice rather than
spend few years in the penitentiary ~
