THE REMAINS OF BOoTH-A CURIOUS
STATEMENT. - The following anonymous
communication appeared in the Philadel-
phia Evening Telegraph of Saturday last.
We give it for what it is worth:
New YORK, May 24.-Dear Sir,-As the
Question seems to be once more agitated as
to whether the individual killed by that
hero, Boston Corbett, in the Maryland
barn. was John Wilkes Booth, or not, and as
General l.. +. Baker wishes the public to
believe that it was, and attempts to con-
vince them that the body was buried in the
manner that he so dramatically describes,
permit me to offer TO the public through
vour columns some information received
nearly wear after the hanging of the con-
spirators by one on whose judgment re-
lied and whose statement had no Occa-
sion to question.
A CAPTAIN in Hancock's veteran volun-
teer corps, and who was partly in COM
mand of the Washington arsenal from long
before the assassination, and for consl-
derable time. after it, in speaking OF the
circumstances connected with the tragedy,
and among them of the interment of
y DDuN StaNtu "ios i4S ii"N "a ~.
could be easily substantiated, and what
was we'll known about Washington at the
time, that he, Booth, was buriedin the yard
of the arsenal quite adjacent to the graves
of Payne, Atzerott, Harold, and Mrs.
Surratt: and further, that in the winter
following, when the first ice had formed on
the Potomac, the river was crossed one
stormy night by parties from the opposite
shore, the arsenal wall scaled, and the
body of Booth, or what was supposed to
be his body, taken away, they leaving
ropes, spades, picks, and ladders, IN
doubtedly found m the morning. to attest
the fact of their being there, and the OBJ
iect for which they came.
1t NAV be asked, How did they avoid the
vigilance of the guards? but then, VINO
knows but it may have been a precon,,
certed thing, and that those in the arsena!
were as well aware of the taking away ol
the body as were those who took itf
| simply offer this information as one
more link in the chain OF mystery which
seems to entwine the darkest and least I'M
derstood conspiracy of our age.

BOX Your TUMRLING RoDs. Now

BOX Your TUMBLING RoDs."-Now
that the thrcshing season has fairly COM
menced, owners Of threshing machines,
should remember the requirement of the
law of this State, which declares that
the "Knuckle joints of the tunbling
shaft" shall be safely boxed. The pen
atty fixed as punishment for those who
disregard this law, is very severe, as it is
punishable both by fine and imprison-
ment. Every year we hear of terrible
muiilations; and very often death, caus-
ed by the dangerous whirl of the revolv-
ing knuckle. Too much care cannot be
taken in this matter, and as there are
prabably some owners of machines who
have forgotten the recently enacted law,
we publish this precautionary notice, so
that all can govern themselves accord
ingly.

'BEYOND THE MISSISSIPPI.-A Com
plete History of the New States and Ter
ritOries, from the Great River to the
Great Ocean, by Albert ID. Richardson.
This is a most entertaining and valuable
book, and it's popularity is attested by
the sale Of over 10000 copies in single
month. The Authors long and varied
experience in the little known and in
teresting regions of the Far West, fur
nishes the valuable material for its con-
tents.
Mr.. Richardson is widely known as
one of our most brilliant Journalist and
writer's. No other Author has travelled
over SO much of our vast western do
mains, and we know of no one who can
SO we'll describe what he has seen. He
is always interesting, generally anus
ing, and, better still, invariably truth
full.
The volume before us is accompanied
by an accurate and minute map of the
entire region beyond the Mississippi"
and is elegantly printed and profusely
illustrated with over two hundred en-
cravings from original photographs and
sketches from the pencils of Bierstadt,
Mast, Hennessy, barley, Fem, Steph-
ems, Forbes and other eminent artists,
which are really beautiful and worthy
of examination as specimens of art.
1t is credit to American authorship,
and not only the most valuable work
from Mr.. Richardson's pen, but by far
the best aud most complete history of
the great West ever issued. Those who
wish for authentic information Of the
resources, condition and prospects of
the Western and greater half Of the con-
tinent, within few years to be sown
thick with civilized States, rich in all
the elements Of greatness, should consult
this most valuable work. The writer
has . charming style, fund Of humor,
and his experiences are Of thrilling in
terest. We predict for this book an un-
precedented sale. All young America
expect to 60 West to seek their fortunes
when the Pacific Railroad is built, if not
before, and will read with avidity BE
You'd the Mississippi"
