HORRIBLE DlsCLOsURKs.

We learn that great excitement has pre-
vailed in the neighboring village Of Concord
during the past week, caused by the dis.
coverery that several children, who died re-.
Gently, had been disinterred and their bod:
les removed. \:
There are hundred rumors In clrcula.
ton about the affair. After comparing the j.
conflicting stories together, we make out
the following statement of the case: -
Il quach doctor, known by the name OF
Nugent, applied to man to assist him in
taking up child that had been buriedsa
few days before. The man made tho re-.
quest known, and intimated that two. little
girls, daughters of very respectable gen. gen..
tleman residing in the vicinity, had been re-
moved from their graves by this man NJ.
gent for the purpose of extracting medicinal
properties from their flesh and bones. To
ascertain the truth of the rumor, the father
had the graves re-openod, and found thas
collins and bodies missing. Of course this
created deep sensation, and we are in
formed that it was determined to iniict
summary punishment upon Nugeut; but
on visiting his house lie was found very
sick and in dying condition. One report :
says that he took poison after learning that
his operations were known to the public
and another, that he died from a disease
contracted from frequent handling Of d.,
composed bodies. -
Nugent died on Wednesday last. He
made statement before death, to the ef. !:
feet that he had exhumed about, sixteen 4
dead bodies in Concord and elsewhere, and
after using them, flor making medcine,) he
burned the flesh, coffins and everything, to
prevent detection. His ash pile was exam,
ined and teeth anG bones found therein. (
His theory appears to have been that ;
medicine could be made by boiling the liy.s
or of human being, that would cure liver
complaint; and so with, regard to other dis.
eases. We learn that Nugent was from
Forsythe county, and Mabeen Z living in
Concord about two years.. He once lived
in this town, we are Informed, engaged in
selling peppermint and cinnamon Drops

The Propagation Of Fish.

II appears to US, that this eountry is sad.
ly behind hand in relation to the modern
experiment of raising lih. Tho Fronch
aud tho Germans haye gone to work in
earnest and thus immense quantities oil
fish are produced in natural as vel! as arti-
fetal ponds. The Legislature OF Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, Ohio and New Hamp.

investigate the subject, and report facts.
We have recently read the report made to

reports is, that the trout, pickeEel, yellow
perch, tho sun.tish and eel can be easily
and prolitaby propagated and raised in
water adapted to thor peculiar natures.

that the trout, tho most beautiful of fish,
