Gen. Curtis, in consequence Of the ice
being weak, suggested that the party
had better disembark from the carriage
and walk across, which was accordingly
done; the party experiencing no diff.

mediately after reaching the opposite

their seats iu the carriage, Generals
Curtis and Simpson taking the rear seat
and DR.. White the front. When the

"Driver, stop; General Curtis appears

Three NIedical stadelts amer the Buried
81 tic ts,ier q tho asubjeeI"
Cftom the Cleveland Piaindealer. December 10Th
An exciting affair occurred at a GER
tain cemetery on the Western Reserve,
on Monday night last. We have been
permitted to publish the particulars OF
the case, provided we suppress names
and location. A wealthy resident in the
vicinity lost q lovely and only daughter
last week under peculiar circumstances.
She, was q young lady, about sixteen
years Of age, and had always presented
the very picture of robust health. One
day she returned home from school, ana
after chatting pleasantly about the
house for a few moments suddenly COM
planned of dizziness and languor, in an
instant later sinking down upon the sofa
and expiring Shortly after the young
lady had been inferred, vague rumors
reached the fathers ear that some medi-
cal students, whose curiosity had been
greatly e1ited by the circumstances at
tending her death, and who were anxi-
GUS to learn, through q post norton ex-
animation, the cause thereof, were in
tending to resurrect the bony on a GER
tain night. Both Mortified and enraged
at'the bare idea, though scarcely credit
ing the truth of the report, the father
armed himself with aidouble-barreled
fowling piece and stationed himself near
his daughters grave, on the night in
question, to guard it against the threat
ened violation.
A monument over which dropped the
weeping willow, hid him from view,
while, from his place Of ~concealment ne
could see any object that might APP
proach the grave, owing to the bright
moon that sailed overhead. Nine, ten,
eleven, twelve o'clock came, and no re-
surrectionists. He began".to think that
his credulity had got the better of him,
and that after all, his daughter would
be allowed to rest in her grave, when
footsteps were suddenly heard approach.
ing. Crouching down closely beside
the monument, and peering cautiously
out, he was Mortified at seeing three
men approach, and halt by the grave Of
his loved one. They were provided with
picks, shovels,, a rope and a large oil.
cloth sack. The horrid object could NOT
be mistaken, when two of them COM
menced to dig into the grave. The
fathers blood almost froze in his veins
at the sight, but he was firm in his de-
termination to wreak vengeance on the
neutrality-suspicious.. Cooking both
barrels Of his gun, and taking deliber,
ate aim, he discharged both of them al
the men who we're digging, at the in
slant their bodies were closely together
One of the men, fell to the ground, but
was quickly raised up bp the others,
who hurried him from the cemetery as
quickly as they could-one Of them
limping as though badly hurt. The
three then rode away in a wagon. The
father did not give chase, thinking that
he had punished them enough for thcii
conduct. The affair has caused great
excitement in the vicinity.

ExERclsx.-Nothing is more inyigor-
ating to the constitution than judicious
exercise Of the muscles. The great
cause of general debility, SO prevalent
among residents Of crowded cities, is
mainly due to q lack Of proper exercise.
The introduction Of street cars has,
doubtless, greatly added to complaints
from this source, as thousands who
were formerly in the habit Of walking
to and from their places Of business, are
now tempted, by cheap fare and conve-
nient carriages, to ridej thereby neg
lecting one Of the greatest promoters Of
health, in their accustomed walks. No
person con enjoy health without exer-
else Of some kind. Sedentary people
who val ride, should accustom them
selves to regular gymnastic exercise of
some kind or other.

THE NEW YORK sUB-TRRAsURY.

The "Radical majority" as some of
our amiable contemporaries denominate
Congress, arc after the funds. They
want to know, very foolishly perhaps,
what 10 being done with the public mo-
the gold balance is always
IN New York, uo~twithstand-
ing the stringency ofthe money market;
and whether any money has been sold
loaned, and If so, how much, to
whom, and for what purpose! That is q
inquiry ,andif what we months
ago heard be true, the facts, If they can
all be reached, will develop some inter
esting abuses. It was stated that the
Secretary Of the Treasury, by and with
the advice and consent ofthe President,
had sold At . high figure some seventy
to ninety million, or a large sum in gold
and by and by, when the metal became
lower, replaced it, realizing some mil
lions by the operation, and that portions
of these millions so made found their
way into several Of the States for the
purpose Of corrupting legislators or 9TH
ers, and bending them TO the Presidents
willard the report went so far as to
say that some Of this money reached
Oregon for the purpose Of re-electing
Nesmith to the United States Senate,
and that other sums Of it reached Ne
vada for the purpose Of defeating Nye:
Well, Nesmith was not reelected ana
Nve is not defeated. But as we were
saving, this investigation may prove an
interesting one, and may have something
to do with the impeachment case, ior
one of the charges against the Presiaent
is that he has corruptly used the pubic
property.-Sde. Bee.
Az there has been q good deal OF "fuss
and feathers" about corruption and
bribery in the late Senatorial contest
down at Carson, and as we have heard
several Democrats in Gold Hill openly
express their opinion on the street thai
the Democratic vote in the Legislature
would be cast in the direction "where
the money came FROM" would it not be
a good idea for the Legislature to ap-
point a committee Of investigation to
ascertain ,chy it was that the Democrats
voted all in a body so suddenly against
Senator Nye2 And also, how much
money was paid, if any, BY Andrew
Johnsou's agents? The people want to
know. Of course, We would not charge
corruption upon any Of the ssauneh
Union men who voted for Mr.. DeLong-
for those who stood by him to the last
were friends any man might feel proud
of. The Sacramento Bee is a well
posted newspaper, and there is some
thing in the foregoing extract regarding
outside influences with Government
money, which looks suspicious, to say
the least. Investigate, gentlemen. How
much came out by Audy's order?
