HORRIBLE SToRY.-The New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer thus
writes:
twill be remembered that the late Corpo-
ration Attorney, Lorenzo B. Shepard, Esq,
was some three months ago found dead in
his room, after retiring the night previous in
good health. The physicians reported the
cause of his death to be congestion Of the
heart and the cononer's jury returned YER
diet in accordance Herewith. The body Of
Mr.. Shepard was placed in receiving vault,
preparatory to its final interment in the family
burial ground. A few days ago Mrs. Shepard
ordered the remains Of her deceased husband
TO be taken from the vault but those employ
ed for the purpose were horror struck on
finding the body removed several feet from
the coffin, the shroud torn into threds, and
covered with blood, giving the impression
that Mr.. Shepard had only been lying in
trance, and had recovered after being placed
in the vault. This seems almost too horrible
for belief, and understand that a relation Of
MIR. Shepard denies the truth OF the report,
and asserts that such could not have been the
case, from the fact that the body was packed
in ice for over two days previous to lis being
placed 10 the vault. On the other hand, there
are those who contend that Mr.. Shepard was
not dead at the time of placing his body into
the vault, and that certain facts are in possess
sion of the family which 90 10 show the truth
Of their assertions.

THE IlUNTIEeToS TRTAL.-If carelessness
and confidence be synonymous terms, then
certainly it would seem that the money dealing
fraternity of Wall street must be the most
confding class of this entire christian commu.-
nifty. The evidence ELECTED at the trial of
Huntington yesterday, exhibits on the face
of it, mode of doing business which, if uni
versal, stamps Wall street either as an Arcadia
of innocence and simplicity, or phaanslery
ofcareless capitalists. Mr.. Huntington seems
to have carried on his most gigantic opera
tions by series of coups de main. Here,'he
says to broker, 'lend Inc twenty or thirty
thousand dollars on my note at three days,
and these checks amounting TO thirty thou
sand dollars as collateral security. He thrusts
into the brokers' hand his note, and half a
dozen checks on. well known houses--all Of
these checks being filled up in the same hand
writing and on the same printed forms, and
the signatures such papable forgcres as 10
bear little or no resemblance to the originals,
and yet will il. be believed, the morey Is lent
without the shadow of security.--Neio York

SINGULAR .AMusEMENTs,---T old Roman
Emperor who offered reward to any ono who
would introduce him to a new pleasure has
been outdon by the people of Natick, Mass,
who have been indulging in singular if not
new amusements. On Thanksgiving day
they shaved a small pig, creased him and lot
him loose in field, to become the prize Of
the first person who should catch and hold
him. Twelve young men were competitors,
and one of them at last succeeded in retain.
ngthe slippery customer. Afterwardsa prize
was offered for the man who, while blind.
folded, should wheel wheelbarrow nearest
to stake in the large field where the sports
came of. The rivalry on the occasion seems
to have exceeded that of the Olypic games.

EKAGGrRATION.-lti is now admitted that
the reported slave insurrection in Harrison
county, Texas, proves to have been greatly
exaggerated. The committee charged with
the Investigation of the matter reports that
there is no evidence of any concert among
the slaves, nor ara-any whites implicated
The Alexandria Gazette also says that the
rumors relative to the rising Of the negroes
in that section have not lost anything by re.
petition. The old proverb that "a rolling
stone gathers no moss" does not apply to
all cases.

STRANGE AFFAIR--AUDAcIoU VILLAEY,--
The Washington Review notices a daring
piece Of imposition recently practiced on a
respectable citizen of that county. A short
time since, as it appears, Mr.. p, Of Cross
Creek township-the gentleman spoken Of
received letter from late inmate of of the
Washington Pcnteniiary, stating that If he
did not Immediately forward the writer $500
he would "5urn his house over his head."-
A few days afterward Mr.. P. met the scamp
in Pitisburg, when he boldly demanded the
money, stating at the same lime if his victim
would dare to have him arrested, he had
colleagues who would carry out his threats.
Mr. p knowing the desperate character of
the man gave him all the money he had
about his person, amounting TO some $780,
The villain received the money and coolly
remarked that he would call at P.'s house in
a few days for the balance. Accordingly in
n few daysthe gentleman called at Mr. P.'s
residence and demanded more money, and BY
dint of threats induced him to pay two hun
dred and fifty dollars more! There being
a balance of the five hundred unpaid, we
suppose the scamp will call again. The most
singular part of the whole matter is that the
outlaw is still at large, and no ateps have
been taken for his arrest. W .

FINDING THE BODIES OF DROWNED Persons.
The following extract of letter from
Herkimer county, New York, to GENTLE
man in this city, may be worth publishing
for practical purposes:
One Of Mr.. Gains little boys was drowned
last week in our canal. They raked tho ca
nal, fired cannon over the water, all to no
purpose. They did not succeed in finding
the body till a lady on boat recommended
them to take loaf of bread, make hole in
it, put in some quicksilver ard fasien It in,
and then put the bread on the water, and it
would float until il came to the child. She
said she had seen It operate with success
No one lind anv faith, but they tried it; and
sure the bread hoated few rods, and then
stopped. A boat came along. md drove IL
from its place, but rs soon as the boat pass
ed II returned TO the same spot, and they
took hook and found the child in that
place. He had been in the canal two days.

BATTLING THE FRENCH PoLIcE.-Incendia-
ry handbills are constantly affixed to the
walls of Paris, and that too, daring the day
time, Notwithstanding the continual presence
of the police. To discover the mode IN which
it is done, defeats the ingenuity Of the Off
cials till some accident be,rays the offender;
and then the detected ariiice is abandoned
and new one employed. A rag picker was
recently observed to rest his basket against
a wall. When he removed there was one of
the terrible placards starirg at all passers by,
and defying the Emperor's myrmydons. Ex-
animation of the basket revealed little ur-
chin, who operated through door in the
wicker work.

ONE OF THE DANcEs.-Bayard Taylor,
writing from village in Germany, thus
speaks Of "onc Of the dances;'
One of the dances was called Polonaise,
and consisted in the whole company follow
ing the leader, who was Schmid's son. He
danced US down stairs into the street, across
the brook and up again, winding up with a
rapid gallop. After while the leader came
up with glass of some dark beverage,
which he insisted on our drinking. tasted
il; it was schnaps, the most villianous kind
of brandy, and AS strong us il was bad. One
taste was sufficient, but it was no sooner
offered to the strong Elizabeth than she
emptied the glass without changing muscle
of countenance. The quantity Of this vile
drink consumed by the peasant girls, without
any apparent effect surprised me. II was q
stronger proof than had yet had of the
vigor of their constitutions"

The Next FEDERAL APPoRTIoNMENT.-
Taking the popular vote in the northwest,
and estimating the increase for the next four
yeas, the Boston Atlas estimates that Wis.
cohsin, Iowa, Michigan, In diana and Illinois
will be Untitled to SIS representatives in Con-
gress, in place OF the 80 which they now
send to the House. The present House
contains 80 members from the slave Stnes,
and lao from the free Staes. Under the
next apportionment, the free States will have
about two to one. This alarming result will
be due almost exclusively TO the vast influx
OF foreigners into those States, and the facl
ity with which they have been metamor.
phosed into American citizens. The Demo-
cratic party propose to keep in force the sys
tenn 10y which this crushing preponderance
has been given to the lreesol States. New
erlheless they will swear to you by the
hour that they are the best, if not the only,
friends the South has. ...fIt II
