A MAN HANGING HIMSELF TO CORPSE.
On Monday evening last, we learned the
following details Of most singular affair,
which occurred near CumminsviIle, some
four or five miles from this city, on Satur-
day night, 26th. 1t appears that person
entered the burying ground at that place
and removed dead body from a grave
which he placed in sack. In making hi:
exite from the yard it was necessary to scale
high board fence, which the resurrection.
ist evidently found difficulty in accomplish.
ing with the burden with which he was en-.
eumburcd. In order, therefore, to give him
free uso Of his hands and arms, he placed
the cord attached 10 the mouth of the sack,
around his shoulders, and climbed to the
top of the fence, when be must have fallen
of, leaving the corpse on the opposite side.
The result was, that the cord was drawn up
around his neck, and he was found dead in
the morning, having been choked to death
By The s0eight of the corpse on the opposite
side Of the fence! The story seems nm in-
credible one, but we are informed that, start
ling as it is, it is nevertheless true Gin
einnati Gazette.
Such, too, is the fate to which every body
snatcher ought to come.

We see a short delicately made man, With a
singular looking wrinklsd face and Roman
nose, ahead calculated to puzzle Spurzheim,
covered with coarse and rather short, grey
hair, not very tidily brushed; bushy, gray
eyebrows, oysrhanging eyes most remarka-
BILE for their brlliancy Of expression; clothed
in attire neat to precision, but negligently
worn. We hear him speak, and bis voice
IS poor, evidently injured by the long and
prodigal use of snuff, his delivery careless
even to slouchiness, leaning against his desk
with bis hands in his pockets, bis only ges-
ture made with his head, which rolls about
almost independently of his body; thus de-
liberately, aud more in the tone of conyer.

The faithful arc exhorted TO observe tho
Lent in the spirit Of the Church, to assist
at the daily sacrifice Of the Mass, to receive
the Holy Sacrament with moro frequency
and fcrvor to attend at the devotions in
the various churches, refraining from pas
times, smusements unsuited TO the peniten-
tial season, and devoting to the relief Of the
poor, especially the unemployed aud yirtR-
Gus, what is Withheld from the qualification of
appetite and pleasure.
We advise all who are addicted to drink

this moment to sin no more. Thus shall
they spend good Lent, and ascend from

A FATHER MURDERIse HIS OWN CHIP.
"A horrible murder happened on Wednes-
day last in the western part Of the city,
which was as unnatural as it was fendish-
1t appears that Gerard Fricke, German
shoemaker living on Monroe ST., took sis
ter of his wife to his house on account of
sickness, about year ago. On Wednes-
day morning last, that sick woman was de-
livcred Of a healthy male child, which tho
father, Fricke, Immediately took away, tied
a cord around its neck and threw It into
the hog-pen. Mrs. Frieke, who bad no
suspicion whatever in regard to the circun-
stances Of her sister. and who had been sent
off upon some errand, heard upon her re-
turn, strange sounds in the hog-pen, as did
a ncighbor; but lacking themselves courage
to investigate the matter, they informed
Frieke, who Immediately rushed cut, took
the child, stopped its cries by stabbing il
with knife so as to cut not oEly the blood
vessels of the neck, but to sever also the
spine and spinal marrow, and then the
heartless father threw his own offspring into
the PRIV and throw basketful Of dirt up
on it. He then went TO bis work again.
and told neighbor in the evening that the
child was monkey-fnced, and could not live
anyhow and he did good work in killing
it. Thursday morning Frcke was arrested
by policemen Twitehell and Beels. Before
leaving his house, he admitted that the
child had been alive aud that he purposely
killed it, be and his sister-in-law being the
parents.
The inquest instituted by the Coroner
soon resulted in corresponding verdict
The case will come up in the Police Court.
Such brute as would thus murder his
own child must be diabolical villain, and
we trust he may receive his Just deserts at
the hands of the law Clepe. Leader.

THE TWO ANGELS.

Two angels. one of Life and one Of death,
Passed DER our village the morning broke;
The dawn was on their faces, and beneath
The sombre houses hearsed with plunnes Of smoke.
Their attitude and aspect were the same,
Alike their features and theiv robes sf white;
But one crowned with amsrnuth, as with flame,
And one with asphOdels, like fakes oflght
1saw N, m pause on their celestial way,
Then said |, with deep fear and doubt oppressed,
"Beat not SO loud. my heart, lest thou betray
The place whore thy beloved are at tresti"
And he who wore the crown Of nsphodels,
Descending, at my door began to knock,
And my soul sank within me, as In wells
The waters sink before an earthquakes shock.
recognized the nameless agony,
The terror and the tremor aud the pain,
Thatoft before had Hlled or haunted me,
And now returned with three-fold strength again.
The door1 opened to the heavenly guest
And listened, for thought heard Gods voice,
And, knowing vhatsoe'er he sent was best
Dared neither to lament nor to rejoice.
Then with smile that filled the house with light
'fMy srrand is not Death, but Lite" he said
And, ere answered, passing out Of sight,
On his celestial embassy he sped.
Twas at thy door, oh, fiiendl and not at mine
The angel with tho Amaranthine wreath,
Pausing, descended, and with voice divine,
Whispered a word that had a sound like death.
Then fell upon the house sudden gloom,
shadow those features fair and thin,
And softly from that hushed and darkened room
Two angels issued where but one went In.

The mists collects, the rain falls thick and loud,
