Mr.. John Parker and son were at
tending some fish lines on the river
about three miles above here, when
they were surprised by a continuous,
unusual roaring, towards the middle of
the stream. The night was without
wind. Owing to the darkness, no effort
was made to ascertain the cause of this
strange noise until daylight, when it
was seen that a whirlpool of large
extent was in active operation some
two hundred yards from the Missouri
shore, which still continues in opera
ton, drawing in a great body of water;
so much, indeed, that the volume Of
the river below is sensibly lessened.--
Driftwood and large floating logs go in
and disappear totally. Many hundred
yesterday went up to see this strange
sight. Unless this chasm soon fills IN
with water, the effect upon navigation
will be calamito S indeed; for it would
seem that the bottom of the river has
really fallen out.-SqWatter Someiqn

SHARP WnMAN.

A well-dressed and highly respect
able looking woman, a few days since
entered a fashionable store in Cincin-
natl, and desiredto look at some gloves.
They we're shown to her, and she
selected one pair. The clerk left her
for a few moments to get change, and
she quietly secreted in her bosom a
half dozen pairs of the same gloves.
AS she was nearing the door, the pro-
-prietor stepped forward and stated
that he had perceived the theft, and
requested her name and residence,
that he might send the bill for the
stolen gloves. She was indignant but
he was stern, and took great pride in
evincing how smarth he had been. Find
ing escape impossible, she begged him
to keep the matter secret, and She would
pay at once; for that purpose she
handed a twenty dollar note he decuct-
ed five dollars for the gloves, and gave
her fifteen in change and allowed her
to depart. His exultation over the
result came to a sudden termination
next day, when the twenty dollar note
was returnedfrom the bank as acoun-
terfeit. He thinks he did not make
much by giving her fifteen dollars in
cash as a present, for stealing half a
dozen pairs of gloves.

The LATEST oDeE.-The Vigilance
Committee of San Francisco, in the
course of their investigation into the
case of acoroner whom they had arrest
ed, elected satisfactory evidence that
he was in the habit of disinterring the
bodies of persons who had been buried,
for the purpose of dropping them into
the docks, and thus receiving the fees
attending an inquest. In this way, it
is said, one body has been made to do
service three or four times-or as long
asst wouldholdtogether. This accounts
in part for the great number of bodies
that, but a little while ago, were con
stantly found under the wharves Of San
Francisco.

An AWFUL AND STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE

-nL H". .."- EL-
The Ne.0 York Times, of the 28th
has the following:
Man KILLED BY HIS OWN COFFIN
On, Saturday night last, a man who re-
d. sided in twenty-ninth street was killed
IN a most singular manner. The fol-
q, lowing are the peculiar circumstances,
o.. as far as u reporter has been able to
learn them-for, in consequence of the
sopinionl entertained; concerning his re-
Eatives, by the deceased, who was a
man of considerable wealth and re-
speciality, they have made great
effort. to keep the particulars from the
public ear. 1t appears that nearly a
year ago the deceased, who was fifty
j. three years af age, became strongly
impressed with an idea that, when he
should die, the parsimonious disposition
of his relatives would lead them to put
him in a cheap coffin, while he had a
strong desire to be buried in one of
polished rosewood, lined with white
satin and trimmed with silver. Soon
after this strange idea got possession
of his mind, he discovered an elegant
cofinin one of the principal warehouses,
Ehfchsuited him. He purchased it at
. SIS; had Il sent to his residence at
hightfall, and slowed i away in asmall
closet adjoining his bedroom, whereit
.remainedun the time of the accident.
How it occurred is not known to a
certainty, for the first intimation the
family hado Of the lamentable occurrence
was from a servant, who, on going to
call him to breakfast, found the door
wide open and the deceased lying upon
the floor, dead, with his coffin at his
side. She screamed, which soon
brought the family, and on raising the
body the skullwas found crushed in
upon the brain. He was discovered
about.eight o'clock yesterday morning,
when, to all appearance, he had been
dead several hours. On examiningthe
closet, a bottle containing a quantity
q. Of sherry wine was found, and as Satur-
day night was excessively warm, he is
supposed to have gone to the closet in
order to procure the wine to use with
some ice water he had on small table
by his bedside. 1t is thought that he
must have sought for it in the dark, and
by some mistake upset the coffin, which
stoOdnearly upright. Becomingse nsi.
bic that it was falling, he probably
made an effort to get away, when he
fell, and the outer end struck his head
with sufficient forceto fracture his skull
andcause almostimmediate death. The
inquest win be held with all possible
secrecy. The unfortunate impression
= Of the deceased concerning his re
latives is a sufficient reason for with.
holding the names of the parties.
