REMARKABLE DISCOVERY OF A MuR-
DERER.-Last May the headless trunk of n
man was found in forest in Poweshick
County, Iowa, and subsequently the head
was discovered under mass of leaves. All
efforts TO secure the arrest Of the murderer
or even obtain an identification OF the muir
dered man proved futile. Dr. Conway, of
Brooklyn, took charge. OF the head of the
murdered man, and carefully preserving itin
spirits kept il in readiness for future deyel-
opmenis. AT length chain of circumsian-
tial evidence seemed to point to a young
man named Kirk Vincent ms the murderer,
and last Friday week he was arrested at his
home near Cambridge, Illinois, and ON that
and the following day, underwent a legal
examination. DIR. Conway was in attend
ance, and in the crowded courtroom open.

opponents, on entering which they were as
tonished at the number of people, there be.
ing no less than 5000 on the ground, the fair
sex being ! think in the majority. AS the
champion nine walked to their places, on a
sudden most tremendous cheer broke out,
which was cheerfully answered by the little
party from Wilmington with some effect.
The game then commenced with the Dia-
mond State at the bat, but by the exceedingly
good play of their opponents, they were put
out for blank This was kind of a
ticker, but the boys determined to, re-
taliate, which they did, in true Athletic
style, putting them out in one, two, three
order. But time and space will not allow us
to gothrough each inning, suffice it to say
that the game ended in very nice and
agreeable manner, the score being at the
close of the seventh inning, Diamond State
A and Excelsior 10, there just being one
run less than to 1.
The boys were then escorted the second
time to partake of "Lowery's" good cheer;
after satisfying themselves, they were escort
ed around town to see what could be seen,
and about ten O'Clock retired to bed.
The next morning some OF our boys being
kind of sick, could not play, but we were
determined to give the Excelsior's chance
to redeem themselves which they did right
manfully, the score being at the end of seven
innings 90 to "a in favor of the Diamond
State, without the services of Malone, Tay-
lor, Lobdell, Bush and Thomas.
After this game, the boys returned to their
good cheer once more, preparatory to going
home. After dinner, the Excelsiors, through
Mr. Lowery, presented the club with a beau
tiiul cake, in neat little speech, which was
answered by Lawyer Higgins in his best
style. After this the boys set out on their
way to the depot, which they reached after
awhile, hoarse and perspiring freely from
the shouting and talking. So ended the
trip to Milford, one which every one present
will say was one OF the finest and best ever
extended to any club since or before Too
much praise cannot be given to Mr Lowery,
who was with the boys all the time, doing
everything TO make them happy and con.
tented. Mr.. Lowery and gentlemen, we
thank you. Yours,

AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS OF A CoRPsE. =
A man named James Haywood died abou,
10 O'Clock yesterday morning, at the West,
chester House, in the Bowery, of cholera.
DR.. Waterman, of the Board of Health, saw
the body, and pronounced the case one ol
cholera. An undertaken was called in to Law
out the corpse In a Short time Dr. Water
man was summoned again, and told that the
man was not dead, the hands, arms, and
eyelids having moved several times. The
undertaken was frightened, and fed from
the house, saying that the man was alive,
and that he would not touch him again
DR.. Waterman found, it appears that the
movements had been caused by the relaxing
Of the muscles ofthe body. The man died OF
spasms, and the muscles were tightly con.
tracted. After death they became relaxed,
causing motions which those present mis-,
took for evidence of life. DR.. Waterman
had never before witnessed case of this
kind, although he had read OF them and
knew their meaning by the singular symp-
toms. Physicians understand that automat-
ic movements ofcoIpses occur occasionally
in cholera cases, and also wherever plague

TORIOUs.

MIR. EDIToR-
On the Fourth of July, the
Diamond State Base Ball Club, with mum.
ber of their friends, made an excursion to
Milford, Del, for the purpose of playing n
series of games, with the Excelsior Club, of
that place, They took the halfpast 10
O'Clock train, and arrived at Milford at 3
o'clockin the afternoon. They were met at the
depot by large concourse of people who
were desirous of welcoming the champion
club of Delaware to their little town. As
the club left the cars, there went forth from
thousand throats, three loud and hearty
cheers, which were answered with effect by
the. visitors.
After leaving the cars, they were taken in
charge by the Excelsiors, under the leader
ship of Mr. Lowery, the President of the
club, ga right jolly, whole souled man. s
the Diamond State had reason to believe be-
fore they left his charge) who brought them
TO his hotel short distance from the depot.
As the club wended their way they were re-
ceived onall sides by the people, who cheered
loudly for the champions. When they reach
ed the hotel, the crowd on all sides gave way
to the excitement of the moment, such cheers
were sent forth, that made the little town
shake, The club, after an ablution, which
was sorely needed by the boys, after their
long and warm ride, were ushered into a
dinner which made the hungry ones smack
their lips, and those not hungry, to try and
bring back their appetite There was every.
thing that man could eat, from raw oys-
ter, to dish of terrapin. The latter dish be

mysteriously- by Lawyer Higgins, that ii

The Liverpool correspondent of the
Mobile Register writes TO his paper as
follows Of the acting OF the celebrated
Belle Boyd;
had the pleasure last night OF witness
ing Miss Belle Boyd's rendition OF the
character Of Pauline i'll the Lady of
Lyons. The announcement that the
"Coniederate heroine would appear
for one night only, and as an especial
favor to ME-. CoWper "a talented young
actor of the Royal Anpitheatrel, whose
benefit came off last night, filled the
spacious building to its utmost capacity.
By going early / managed TO obtain
a seat where a tolerabe view of the
stage could be had, and in Il position
that every word uttered by the actors
could I've distinctly heard The play it
self is one that never greatly admired,
and do not remember OF ever having
been particularly we'll pleased at any
repre- sentatien of it that it had been my
fortune to witness. but if the fine points
in the character which Miss Boyd under
took last night were ever brought out,
she did it.
In the scene where "Melnotte'' Mr..
Cooper unmasks himself, as it were,
and reveals his true condition in life to
her, she - brought the house down. in
thllnders of applause. At the conclu-
sion of the piece she was called for vo-
citcrousIy and appeared inansWer to the
long continued summons accompanied
bv the gentleman in whose favor she
had consented to play. Mr.. Gowper, in
her name, thanked the audience for
their kindness toward a novice; and re-
marked for himself, that he hoped that
so good a beginning would be followed
up by the fair eiebMtoaafe, and prophesied
a reputation equal to that of any of the
bright galaxy OF stars that have, from
time to time, greeted the English stage.
No announcement has been madeas to
whether Miss b. is to adopt the stage as
Il profession, but it is thought by many
that she may be induced to turn her I'M
questionable histrienic talent to pecu
mary advantages. Another feature of
the evening that was prominent, and
one that must have been grateful TO the
feelings of the brave-hearted girl, was
the loud applause from the unusually
large number OF Americans assembled
to witness her appearance
