right side, extending the strong to the weak and
with sympathetic ear, listered to the great sigh
breahed by suffering humanity; trust you will give
this article place in your honorable columns, so
that the public may mark the man who is guilty of
such barbarous act.
A young lady of ireproachablo character, a resi-
dent of this city, was robbed by death, of q kind,
and loving mother, two years ago, and cen af-

and with his own hands, dug up the remains of his
wife and then dug another grave, for he could not
hire anyone to do the sacrilgious work, but succee

emit fame enough to pierce the darkness, and shed
their unhalowed light over the graves, while he
