transferred Tuesday from the pine box in
which they had been buriea TO splendid me-
tallic coffin. 1t was found that tho flesh had
all disappeared, leaving naught but mass OF
blackened bones. Upon one foot was an old
army shoe, aud upon the other Loot cut open
upon the top. This covered the left foot, the
LEG having been bro:;on in his leap from the
stare-box of the theatre, after he had assassl-
mated President Lincoln. The remainder OF
his dress consisted of rough brown coat,
black pants and vest, all of which we're rotten
and decayed. The hair all remained, and the
silken curls OF glossy black reminded one of
the handsome face which people once 80 much
admired, but the intelligent l,ok was gone.

ed the place, and some were allowed to view
the remains. After short time it was found
that the curious crowds had cut the blankets
almost to pieces to get souvenirs. On'the ar-
rival of Mrs. Booth and her sons Edwin Booth
and Junius B1utus Booth, the body will be
secretly inferred, IN the presence OF The family,
