A SoRDID WRETCH.-We had yesterday the par
tculais of revoltirg transaction u. come to light in
Greenevie. Harlan Hyde lost his wife one year ago.
She was his third wife, and had been married only a
year when she died. and buried in the Greenevile
Cemetery. About one week ago Hyde went to the
cemetery dug open the grave, broke open The coffin,
and ritied II of-whst does the reader ina CINE of
set of false teeth, that he might coin the gold plate
upon which the teeth set into money 10 put 10 his
pocket We dare say the fellow meant to sell the
teeth too, If he could find purchaser. We wonder
not a, the intense indignation which baz,s against the
miserable creature in Greenevle, tina: the women
OF the village can scarcely be restrained from tresng
him TO a coat Of tar and feathers.
Hyde IL not far from 10 years Of age, house car
penter by trade, in comfortable circumstances as TO
property, ard, we shame to add, is q member OF
Christian church. The wife, whose grave he has de-
secrated was, as we have said his third wife, When
she married him she is understood 10 hsye had some
500 $50 IN the savings bank. part OF this she
used in furnishing her husbands house, and when
dying she gave him her bank book on which she had
still standing 10 her credit bet $500 and $500.
1t Is now currently reported and believed IN Grssne
vile thst when bis wife died. and while che lay dead
in her shroud in the house, her sfectionate husbsnd
attempted to remove the coveted teeth from ner
mouth; but the rigid muscle would not relax and he
was consequently compelled to suspend operations for
tie time. But # was only suspension. TIE pur.
pose was merely postponed, No: Ielitquished, sni
after bIoodir the idea for twelvemOnh ne has
finally put il in execution. Hyde not only coniessss
TO have done this horrible thing but he IL even brazen
enough TO iustiiyit. Norw. ct Courier, May -.

PLATE PREsENTATIoN.-In noticing very
pleasant occurrence which took place, oil
Christmas day, We must beg leave in good
humored way to correct the Express of an
error which it committed in its account of it.
1t says;
"An interesting and pleasant event took
place on Saturday at the rooms of the Mer-
camille Library Association, in the presenta
tion of an elegant silver pitcher, by the Asso
citation, to Mr.. Ii. G. Walton, late Librarian.
The presentation was made on behalf of the
Association by Mr.. Chas. NJ Patterson, in a
brief and appropriate address, which was
properly responded to by the recipient"
The editor says he was not present, conse-
quently we suppose that his informant, and
not himself, must have been little hallucina-
ted about the time that this paragraph was
indited. The above is all right enough, ex-
cept that Mr.. Charles NJ. Patterson did not
make the presentation, that honor having
been deyolved upon Mr.. A. G.. Coffin, Presi-
dent Of the late Library Association, who GER
tainly did acqut himself with very great
I
and gracefully delivered Mr.. Walton was
taken entirely aback, having been wholly ig-
norant of the purpose for which the meeting
was called. In fact he labored under the
idea, that there was some dissatisfaction with
the manner in which he had performed his
duties, notwithstanding the preposterousness
of supposing any such thing possible. New
ertheless although entirely unprepared he
made very felicitous reply. There was
quite numerous attendance, together with
the presence of huge bowl containing
"suthin' good" and the occasion passed of
delightfully."-. The pitcher presented was o.
pure silver, worth about SIS, and was insert
bed with the following:
