Singular Affair.

The town of York has breu the scene
of considerable excitement lately, on ac-
count Of a remarkable occurrence which
TRANSFERRED there, and which, We believe.
is without precedent in the annals Of that
or any other community. The facts, as
we get them from the York papers, are
as follows:
It seems that during the week bef6fe
last, young man named Frederick Schi-
ding was taken dangerously i'll from the
effects, We understand of two much Ii.
quor. The physician in attendance pre-
scribed nine pills, each of which contain
ed two grains of opium, and one of which
was to be administered every half hour.
The mother of the young man, however,
ignorantly gave him all the pills at one
time, the consequence of which was that
the patient. on Sunday evening, fell into
deep stupor, from which he could not be
aroused, and which proved to be "the
sleep that knows 20 waking" Although
no sign of breathing nor aBy pulsation
of the heart could be discovered, yet the
body possessed life like warmth, and
any friction upon it caused redness sim
liar to that in living person.
The body remained in this condition
until Tuesday evening, when the time for
burial having arrived, the coffin having
been provided, and the spectators being as
sem bled the relatives thought funeral
must needs ensue So, accordingly the
procession was formed and moving tow
ards the Lutheran burying ground In
Duke street, where the funeral ceremonies
were gone through with, the coffin was
lowered into the grave. and the process
sion returned. The undertaken. however,
fearing lest the body might come to life,
would not permit the coffin lid to be fast
ened down, and the sexton, for the same
reason, placed stick between the coffin
aud the lid to allow the entrace Of fresh
air, and did not throw any ground into
the grave, bat lef. the cofiu uncovered.
After the body bad lain iu the grave sew
eral hours, the relatives came to the con-
clusion to take the body home again, and
accordingly it vas remosed that evening
to the residence of the parents in the
neig borbood OF the fair grounds, where
it lay for nearly week in the condition
above described Daring the latter part
of the week, however, the parents, from
certain signs, became convinced that their
son was really dead. and on Sunday the
body was again conveyed to the grave
yard and properly buried.

A Woman Joining the Sons of Malta.


The disappearance of the man named
Curtis, from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, supposed
to have been spirited away aud disposed
Of by the Sons of Malta. for exposing
their secrets, is explained. His wife
publishes a statement in which she says
that her husband left town because be
was angry and mortified at her having
imposed herself upon the Sons of Malta,
dressed in mans clothes and been par
TALLY initiated Mrs. Curtis gives an a.
musing account of ber experience among
the Sons. She and a neighbor, Mrs.
Smith. having womauly curiosity to ex-
plore the secrets which their husbands
would not tell them, bribed one of the
Sons to introduce them as men for initia-
tion They put on their husbands clothes
aud went to the lodge-room. They did
not 20 through all the ceremonies. Mrs.
Curtis got only as far as being tossed in
blanket. She describes the conclusion
of her adventure as follows:
"When the conductor said, Can you
swim, siri' | said 'YesI' Can you
swim iu fourteen feet of water" [ said
'Yes the deeper the betterv We'll, take
off your coat and try yourself Now,
when he said take of your coat that
scared me, because had put on a loose
sack on purpose, for reasons you will see
yourself. However, l thought moment
aud said, No, sir; never heed the coat
| can swim as we'll with as without it!'-
Very we'll, said the conductor, your
peril will be upon your own head. Now,
bold up your right hand, sirl-take this
life preserver and Here be gave me
a push and l went over backward, and as
soon as | alighted | went up again flying
then down and up in the same way un-
til l thought all my brains were aying
out of the top of my head, then every
thing SWAN round aud round until | did
not know anything at all, for bad faint
ed.
"The next place found myself in was
the ante cham ber, or rather, just being
led into the ante chamber BY two men,
and | was first conscious that must have
been sitting in bath-tub with my clothes
ou. think the cool air brought me to
my senses. The two men looked very
sacred and sorry. looked about for
Mrs. Smith and Joe, but they had gone
as soon as they heard the noise in iuiatia-
ting me. I asked one of the men il Mr.,
Curtis was in the lodge. The man said
he was l said should like to see him
minute. The NAN went into the lodge
room. and presently out came my besuti.
ful husband, all mufied up. | just
whispered word or two in his ear, and
may be he didn't pull of his gown and
hood in short order and walk home with
me. He left me that night in anger and
modification, and | have not seen him
since. But then be had no need to be
angry, he has always known that I have
always held that women are as capable
as men. But when it comes to the Sons
of Malta, I think, women's rights is q
failure, they cannot do it,"

A Cincinnati Confidence Game.

One Hudson advertised for partner
with SI0O capital. Of course number
of persons answered. And here is the
way the swiudler feeces his victims.
He appoints an interview. and boldly
states to the applicant that his business is
counterfeitins. He declares that the u.
nted States Mint was recently robbed of
several quarter-eagle dies, and that these
dies are in the possession of parties now
engaged in manufacturing, who will sell
the coin for forty five cents on the dollar.
One of these victiUs of confidence, named
Hefferman, had Hudson arrested when it
was found that be had ready genuine
tWo-dollar- and a half gold piece, that
would have been palmed off as counter
felt. OF cours" an effort to pass it would
have been successful-a sure way to de-
lude their victim. At given time Hef-
ferman meeting Hudson would have re-
ceived box purporting to contain tho
requisite number of pieces. and would
have banded Hudson in return the S CO..
The box is examined. and instead of coun-
terfeit two-doIlar.and a half gold pieces,
contains little sand and lump OF lead.
Heferman. from his complicity, could not
have "peached' and Hudson goes off on
his way rejoicing, to seek another victim.
The above is what is termed tho box
game"
