BooTH's BoDY.-L. c. Baker, the tool of
the Infamous Stanton, reproduces In his
book for the morbid appetite of the "loyal"
worshipers of the "late lamented,' n story
about the burial of Booth, that was telc-
Hraphed all over the country, with other
"cock-and-bulln ~ stories Of similar char
acter about the burial of the supposed
assassin, at the time (ls64) 1t was said his
burial had taken place.
Now we remember very distinctly that
we were first informed by telegraph that
Booth was buried outside the Old Prison
walls, and that a guard had been placed at
the spot to prevent the public from discoy-
ering it-a most ridiculous story, II was
then flashed across the wires that Booth
had been buried beneath the door Of the
Old Prison dining-room-the rubbish hav-
Ing been cleaned cut and large stone
lifted, beneath which the body was depos-
tied In few days the telegraph contra
dicted this story, and stated that the body
had been surrendered to the Booth family,
and by them carried away to the Arondaek
mountains, and there buried where no man
would discover the last resting place of the
assassin. But this did not suffice. Again the
lighting flashed, and we were told that two
men, ON dark and dismal night, when you
"could not see your hand before you" took
the body and carried II TO a little boat II
waiting, and rowed out, so the story goes
into the darkness, and consigned the body
10 the dark waters, beyond the reach o
man. Now comes Baker with another
cock -and-bull story, and says Booth WA
buried beneath the floor Of u cell In the
Old Prison.
Why all these stories? Why this pre-
tended mystery of the disposition Of the
body said to be Booths? What does Il
avail to thus lie about the matterY fol
somebody has lied In one or the other
of the tales that have been told. Such things
only serve 20 hold us up TO tho scorn und
contempt of the world, and make our gov
ernment bye-word with other nations.
But suppose Bakers story TO be true, and
Booth was buried exactly where he says he
was, II II was Booth, and Booth killed Lin
coin, who cares where he was buried, OF
whether he was buried at all or not. We dc
not propose to have our eyes hoodwinked
10 the crimes of Lincoln, Stanton, Seward
Holt, and their tools, such as Baker, by any
such stuff as they may send out as TO where
Booth was buried Ifsomebody would tel
OF the burial of such men rs Stanton, Holt
Thad. Stevens, Wilson, Kelley, Butler, and
that ilk, 1t would be far more interesting &c
the people, than are the coek-and-bull
stories about the burial place Of Booth.

eH- A just verdict, given by thousands
of buyers, that at Goodman's cheap Boot
and Shoe store, 10 Main street, there can
always be found an excellent and well made
up stock of boots and shoes, gaiters, slip
pcrs, &c, for less money than elsewhere.
We have reduced mems calf boots to 50 a
pair, and all other as cheap in proportion.
Those who wish to save had better call
there first, II the saving Of money is their
object. Having also received full line of
spring hats for men, boys and chlldren's
wear, direct from the manufacturer, we
are enabled to offer great inducements to
purchasers. Every thing In the boot and
shoe line made to order, and good fits guar

Something, surely, must be done on that
dayto remind us at least, that we were

every day life throughout the country len
TO convince us that we are noto n free peo-
