IS5~Ihe Work OF removing the remains OF the
loyal dead, scattered around the Antietam bat
tie field, to the cemetery, still continues. A
few days ago, another photograph likeness was
discovered with body, the likeness of beau
tiful woman and another bottle was found
enclosing the namey &C., of the soldier, with
which it was buried. The burial corps has
met with assistance and kindness from the per-
sons residing in the neighborhood, on whose
properties the bodies were buried, with but
two exceptions. One person contended that
there were none buried on his place, but the
guides, and those who were present at the bat
tie, knew better, and large nuMber of bodies
were dug up in his garden. He had cultivated
his cabbages over the shallow graves of the
slain, and stoutly commended that there were
none there Another treated the members of
the corps rather roughly, and asserted that
none were buried on his farm. But the contra
ry fact was known, and number of bodies were
taken up from beneath farm, road that he had
made over the loyal dead Comment in these
cases is nnecessary.-Torch Light
In Boston, about year ago, Patrick
Stanton was thrown from one of the cars of the
Metropolitan Horse Railroad Company of that
city, and had his leg broken. He brought suit
against the company, charging his injury to
the carelessness of their agent. The company
did not deny the charges, but pleaded that the
accident occurred on Sunday, when the plain
tiff had no right to be riding. Judge Ames, of
the Superior Court, decided that this position
was well taken; that the plaintiff was not law
fully riding on the Sabbath in question, his
mission not being one of necessity or charity,
but only one of pleasure; and hence he would
not be entitled to recover damages. On this
ruling the jury returned pro- forma verdict for
the defendants.
