They belong TO Her.

rs
A correspondent, writing US about the man
whose body was found in the river q short time
since, asks
"To whom do those twenty five dollars belong
that were found on the dead body of her hus-
band? Are they to be appropriated to paying
the coroner, undertaken &c.? or do they right
fully belong to his widow? 1t looks to me as
though the mourning woman should have the first
right to the last tangible relic Of her unfortunate
husband. Is it SO % a-.. L.H.E.
GT We think by all means it is. And We
hope the money will be handed over forthwith.
Welearn that the woman is poor-that she is an
entire stranger in the Territory and is now in an
almost distracted state of mind, and whatever
little has been left by her unfortunate husband,
should be placed in her hands. We hope our
correspondent will inform US if the money has
been received-if not we will take pleasure in
instituting an inquiry where it has gone.-Ed.

son living who knows his grave with certainty
from others that surround it, and that person is
a venerable negro, who has often watered it with
his tears. The apparent negligence of his rela-

claimed the grave as her property, and promised

to do it-but having recently erected bronze
