ISHrNAE.--Last "Wednesday evening we
learned the particulars Of an affair which
shows that. in some respects Plymouth, is
not far behind Chicago snd osises- noseri,
oIsly mean cities. This is, we believe, the
FIRST case Of the kind which has come to
the knowledge of the public, and We hope
the first one enacted in private. The
facts, in brief, are rs follows:
A gentleman was digging In his garden,
for the purpose Of putting out some Rhu,
barb; having dug down about two feet, he
vas surprised to find his spade resisted by
something but an inch or two below the
surface oft the bottom OF the trench, and
proceeded 10 dig out the impeachment; this
he did, and. tn bis utter horror, hs discov-
cred q portion of still born babe. The
portion found consisted OF the ribs, the os
innominasnm. sacrum, humerus, femur,
pattella, ofihe Jeff side. The owner OF
The garden Was highly indignant at the
discovery OF this in lis garden.

This question has been discussed for
some time through the Journals Of the NJ.

with the fundamental Doctrines of the

with II a rich harvest and many golden

compllshed an unprecedented amount Of
good under the present economy, none
can deny: but that the temporal service of
the Church had much to do with this
prosperity is much to be doubted. This
success must depend upon the unity of
