MORE BODY SNATcHING.-On
Thursday morning the body of the
old maa killed near Wickliffe, on
Sunday forenoon, was stolen from
the barn of Mt. j. Rowland, under
taker, at Nos. SO and ss65 Bank St.
The body had been placed in Mr..
Howland's care for interment, and
he had been preserving it,, in expec-
tation that something concerning its
identity would be developed. On
the morning in question, MIR. How
land hired a man came down abont
half past five O'Clock to do the chores
about the premises, and unlocked
the barn. The corpse was then
there, but while he was gone to
breakfast, or attending to matters
that called him temporarily away
the body was taken. Mr.. Rowland
is using every effort to ascertain
who are the thieves, and to recover
the body. Word has been sent to
the different medical colleges that it
must be returned, and in case it does
not come back search warrants will
be procured and certain places
searched.-C. Herald.

Young man, did you ever stop to
think how that word sounds? Did
you ever think what misery and woe
you brought upon your friends, when
you degraded your manhood by get
ting drunk? Oh! it is a fearful
thing to trample under foot the high
claims that God and man have npon
you. Drunk! How it rings in the
ears of a loving wife Howit makes
the heart of fond mother bleed !!
How it crushes ont the hopes of a
dotting father, and brings reproach
and shame upon loving sisters +!
Drunk! See him as he leans against
some friendly house He stands
ready to fall into the open jaws Of
hell, unconscious of his approaching
fate. The wife with fearful eyes and
aching heart sits at the window to
hear her husbands footsteps: but
alas! they come not. Heis drunk !?
The husband, the partner, is drunk,
spending his time and money when
he should be at home enjoying the
pleasures and comforts of the home
circle. He is spending the means
Of support for liquor while his fam
lily is starving for bread, his children
suffering for clothing. Drunk !!
His reputation is gone, Gone! His
friends one by one are reluctantly
leaving him to his miserable fate.
He goes down to the grave "unhon-
ored and unsung."

Sergeant Bates is now without a
penny. He is gallant and handsome
young fellow, and the people OF New
Orleans ought to do something in favor

throughout the broad domain of the
Southern States."-[[ Neo Orleans Cres-

The Sergeant being a lusty, handsome
fellow, is there any radical objection to
his going to work at some honest call

he would advise The charitable citizens
of New Orleans to invest their supertiu
Gus money in buying artificial legs for

The New York Tribune, Of Dec.
%, says: "The patent held by A. B.
Wilson, for the four motion feed
used in all family sewing machines
for feeding along the cloth, expired
on the 10Th inst, and commissioner
Foote has refused to grant an exten-
sion. That important part of the
machine may now therefore be used
freely by any manufacturer, and an
important step toward reducing the
price of the machines is thus secur-
ed. 1t is ascertained that the actual
cost of manufacture of a good. ma
chine s'only from SO to S14 while
the retail price is about $50. With
this enormous margin of profit, it
can hardly be doubted that the pat
tentees are reappearing ample re-
muneration for their ingenuity, and
it is well that their rights should
lapse as fast the law allows. Yet
Elias Howe's patent was exsended
after he had cleared 100000 by
his invention, and his heirs are ask
ing Congress for another seven
years."

Vice President COlfax's Speech
at the New England Dinner.

In his speech at the New England
dinner last night, Mr.. Colfax referred
to the growth of the United States
as the result of the grandeur of
American citizenship. 1t is the
shield of American citizenship which
shall make US proud and potential
and lift up our country to aprouder
position among nations. It is that
which is to teach those who are
clothed with the solemn trust OF
representing this great realm of
freemen who rule here, not by divine
right, but by free Institutions, that
when they stand shaking for us at
the bar of any civilized nation in the
world, they shall not, on the one
hand disgrace us by boastful gas
conade, or, on the other, dishonol
US by bowing the knee. Then, when
with that self reliance. that calm
that dignifed American nationality
we command the respect to which
our great resources and our unequal
ed trials, which we have survived
so gloriously and auspiciously, en-
title us, then we need not go into
the markets of the world to offer
gold and silver to induce those is
lands of the seas and adjacent States
and provinces to cast in their lot
with US, to share our future. feel
ashamed as an American wheu hear
Of proffers to buy soil, sovereignty,
men women and children, with gold
and silver from our national treas
ury, to share with US in the magni-
ficent future. You would spurn a
bride that is bought with gold, as
any fair woman would spurn hus-
band who had been lured to her side
by wealth instead of her heart, so
we as Americans should elevate our
nationality, win those who are near
to us in territorial congeniality to
cast in their lot with us when vol
UNFAIRLY and in body they ask to
share with us in our magnificent fu
ture, we should then welcome them
in to the fold of American citizens.

Reform Demanded.

The time has come when the par
ty in power must boldly clear itself
from any responsibility for the
gigantic corruptions which are rife
in the land no matter whose fair
name stands voucher for their inno-
cence and benevolent designs
There never yet was good cause
which was not burdened with un-
worthy supporters improving the
occasion of critical public exigency
to accomplish personal enrichment.
In the crisis of important concerns
it is sometimes the part of wisdom
mot to expose weaknesses and
wrongs, but when the time of dan
ger has passed it is worse than
folly to treat tue wrong doers with
any favor. 1t involves participation
in guilt, it nourishes tester which
will spread gangrene and mortifica-
ton throughout the system. The
country looks to General Grant S
Administration to see it restore the
body polite to a sound condition.
For the accomplishment of this
something more than a poultice is
needed. Caustic and the knife must
be relentlessly employed. The Re-
publican party must be rid of its
rottenness or it will perish, and
good patriots will thank God when
it has gone. We believe the hour
has come when the honest masses
of the people who love the republic,
and the great political organization
which saved it from overthrow W
must, with one voice, demand tkat
the leaders, in whose selfishness has
usurped the place Of devotion, and
avarice strangled integrity, shall be
arraigned, convicted, degraded, and
if possible, punished. In no other
way car the morale of the party be
maintained, and it's usefulnessNcon
tinued. 1t is necessary for the
salvation of our institutions that the
integrity of the great body of the
people shall be aroused as theil
patriotism was aroused in 1861
When so aroused, hypocrites ano
plunderers- trembie and seek
obscurity, as did the not more dan
gerous traitors.-Cincinnati Ga

E. D. Mansfield thus closes

E. D. Mansfield thus closes a
letter in the Cincinnati Gazette on
the financial question:
We are for the old fashioned, but,
we admit oftentimes hard way OF
paying the debts by the surplus
means Of taxation. The nation is
rich enough not to feel it, and we
believe honest enough to do it
cheerfully. No boards of trade OF
secretaries of the Treasury, OF
patent financiers can find any royal
road TO the payment Of debts. 1t
is hard road, take it as you will
What we want to do is to grade it.
so that, although we go the same
distance up, we may go it an easier
way. We shall oppose any plan
whatever which oppresses debtors
We do not believe that gold is any
more standard of value than 6
bushel of wheat. Nor do we believe
the people of the United States are
discontented with greenbacks. The
Republican party lost many mem
bers Of Congress at the last election
and it has only to rush on in ho
haste to specie payment and it viii
lose as many more.

A BOstOnian BorrOws a Wed.
ding Suit and is Buried in 1t.

Not many months ago little knot
of bachelors, all of them bordering
closely on the venerable, roomed at
one of our best known private ho-
tells. One of them-sensible man
wearied with his forlorn and button
less condition, made up his mind to
take wife, and instituted prepara-
tions accordingly. Of course the
preliminaries included a very nice
weddingsuit Of clothes, which were
sent home and duly deposited in the
wardrobe of the mature youth who
had vowed worship ct the alter of
Hymen. But he, like many others,
had to experience, practically, the
truth that there are stumbling blocks
in the course of true love, for an un-
happy movement of the gold market
found him very badly immeshed
among the "shorts," and the mar
riage had to be postponed until the
pecuniary situation should improve.
Time wore on, and, in the course of
events brother bachelor, lodging
in the same hotel, had an invitation
to wedding; but his tailor twas
there ever such an instance heard of
before p disappointed him in send
imp home coat he had intended to
wear, and without which, or as fash
ionabie substitute. he could not
go. The exigency was trying one
and our marrying bachelor, having
heard of it, nobly vo1unleered-t
use Of his own wedding garment to
his destitute friend. It was duly
worn to the marriage, but was not
Immediately returned to the owner;
and day or two after the loan had
been so handsomely made, the party
to whom the coat was lent sickened
and died. OF course he had to be
buried. The body was taken to
church and the funeraf services per-
formed. Friends were invited to
look at the body before it was re-
moved to the grave. Among the
most sincere mourners was he whose
deed of brotherly kindness in the
matter of the wedding garment has
jnst boon described. He walked up
the aisle and gazed a moment on the
face of the deceased, but fancy the
shock he must have given to those
who, with him, crowded aronnd the
bier, when he cried out: "By Jove,
he has got on my wedding coat !"
And so it was. The deceased had
been enrobed in that magnificent
specimen of tailor craft. 1t may
satisfy some anxious inquirers to
know that the loss of his coat was
no hindrance to his marriage, for he
is now a Happy Benedict.-Boston

A very destructive fire occu rred
in Rochester, New Y ork, a few Gays
ago. 1t originated in the office of
the Rochester Democrat, entirely
destroying that fine building and the
one adjoining. Several banks were
threatened with destruction during
the progress, of the fire. A ladder
on which four ffremel were passing
hose broke in the center, and the
firemen were thrown to to the pave
ment, all receiving severe injuries.
A scarcity of water preve nted the
engines doing full service, and two
of the steamers were disabled while
the fire was at its height. The loss
is estimated ct 100000.

Guard A Against vulgar Language

There is as much connection between
the worlds and the thoughts as there
is between the thoughts and actions.
The letter is not only the expression
of the former, but they have pow
er to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain of corruption there. A
young man who allows himself to use
one vulgar or profane word, has not
only shown that there is foul spot
upon his mind, but by the utterance
of that word he extends that spot,
infiames it. till, by indulgence, it will
polute and ruin the soul. Be care
full Of your words and Of your
thoughts.
If yon can control the tongue
that no improper words are pronounc
ed by it, you will soon be able to
control the mind, and save it from
corruption. You extinguish the fire
by smothering it, or by preventing
bad thouht from bursting into Ian
guage. Never utter a word any
| where which you would be ashamed
TO speak in the presence of the most
refined female, or the most religious
man. Try this practice little while
and you will soon have command OF
yourself.
