queer sound:-
"For some time past grocer in this city has been
missing goods out OF his store for which there could
be no satisfactory account given He mentioned
the fact to his clerk, who laid watch the foIowiSS
night when, in his great SURPRISE he caught the
wife OF one of our citizens in the store selecting
such articles as she wished. The next morning ne
informed the proprietor of the fact who doubted
the statement, and remarked that the young man
must be dreaming, but to satisfy himself OF the
truth OF the clerks statement, he secreted himself
in the store the following night TO watch the arrival
of the unwelcome visitor when to his utter asonish-
ment he saw lady enter, and, as usual, make her
selections. he made MS appearance, and when the
agitated and plead very strongly not to be exposed
We learn that the grocer had so much confidence in
the lady to give her free access to the store day
and night and never suspected her OF doing any
thing wrong

A Human Hyenu.
From the Great harrington Courier.
In the southern part of the town of New Mar-
boro near the Connecticut llne live family by the
name of F.. 1t seems the family are prcdisposcd
to consumption. About the 1st of last January one
of the family, Emily girl eighteen years old, died
OF this disease and was buried at Cornwall Hollow,
sister Eliza, remain. Charles is now fast wasting
away with the same disease. During the summer u
man by the name OF Case, who lives in Il town to
the east, was in this section hiring cattle pasture
He met the family of F., and told them some
awful stories of how persons nearly dead with
consumption had been cured by the digging up OF
some relative who had died with the same disease,
taking out the liver, lungs, heart etc, where fresh
blood would be found, and burning them; after this
the sick ones would improve until health was re-
stored. The reason assigned was that there was a
sort Of vital current existing between the living and
dead, that those organs in the dead body that
tanned fresh blood and appeared to be alive would
continue to live until the vitality of the living sub
ect exhausted, unless said organs were taken out
and consumed by fire.
Eliza heard ana believed these stores aud II they
ever appeared absurd they soon became matters OF
fact to her. Dr. S., of an adjoining town. was i'm
portuned to do the dissectingnO rest could be OBJ
tained until the thing was accomplished Strange,
the doctor consented. On the 10th of August the
doctor and half dozen friends dug up the body Of
Emily cut out the liver and portion OF the lungs
took them some distance from the grave and burned
| them. The heart and portion Of the lungs were
found decayed-that portion OF the lungs supposed
| to be destroyed before her death-and fresh blood
was found in the liver, enough to thoroughly be-
smear the doctors hands These are facts aud they
| say Charles health has begun to improve.
