SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY.
Boards of Cedar, and What They May Contain
"A Hhreyyd Device,

"A Shrowd Device.
One of the officers of the New York Custom
House was somewhat suspicious yesterday
morning about lot of cedar boards which were
imported from Havana. The boards looked all
right. The surroundings were ali right. The
only difficulty was the drayman. The inspector
sent for him. He came; but when he came he
found that the weight was not there. He lifted
and lifted, and yet after he had lifted the load
there was not the weight he thought there ought
to be.
The load was either too heavy or too light.
The carman stopped; and one of those "terri-
bic" detectives of the Custom House was near
by. He believed that there was something
wrong. He believed that the load was not what
it ought to be. He stopped it, The cart did
stop at his command. With him they travelled
to the Custom House. When there Mr. Lewis
took charge of the whole lot, and was quite
astonished on finding that %, 600 of the finest
cigars were concealed in every row of boards.
1t was a big haul for the officers, who get their
percentage on the value of the seizures they
make, but for the Custom House il was some
thing better. They have learned by this dis
covery how cigars are smuggled. And they win
know hereafter how to prevent it.
To the knowing ones this method was not
new. CongressmeD were in the habit of send

Court of Quarter sessions-AIlisou, p. j.


In the case of the parties charged with selling
lottery policies, in which the recognizances were
yesterday forfeited, pail was renewed and a mo-
tion to quash filed, which is to be argued to-
morrow morning.
Prison cases are before the court both docks
being full of the Moyamensing boarders.
Michael Bird and Charles Green, inmates of
the NeWsboys' Home, were acquitted OF charge
of larceny. 1t was testified that the Office of the
Superintendent was entered by night and thirty
dollars stolen therefrom. confession was
made by Green to the effect that, while under
the influence of liquor, he picked the lock of
the office door and admitted other boys inside:
and subsequently Bird was known to have con-
siderable money, unusual for boy in his situa-
ton.
Louis A. Jones, white, and r. Bower, colored,
were convicted of the larceny of pocketbook
containing 800. A third party stole it from the
stall of Mr.. Swain, q Schuylkill county farmer,
who stands in the Farmers Market and the
prisoners followed and shared in the spoils. The
man who did the stealing has not been caught
Thomas Gillespie pleaded guilty to charge
OF stealing watches and jewelry TO the value OF
Sl26 from Bertram's store, in Ridge avenue,
trans store, and during the latter's temporary
absence from the city was left in charge of
the establishment. Upon returning. Mr.. Ber-
tram found the store closed and the defendant
missing. and upon forcing an entrance into the
store discovered that all his watches and most OF
his valuable jewelry had been stolen. The
matter being placed in the hands of the de-
tectives, they followed the prisoner and his
confederate, Cooper who has already been con-
victed, through this State and Maryland, reco-
yering portions of the property at different
places, until finally they overlook and arrested
the fugitives themselves. About $500 worth OF
the goods were recovered.
In the case of Ayres d. 1nslee, charged with
larceny, his counsel, Henry G. Ferry, Esq,
moved to quash the indictments on the ground
that the cases were returned to the wrong term
of the court, and his motion was allowed.

Ground.
The particulars of sad case of mistaken
identity are related by the Syracuse Courier
1t seems that short time since the wife of
wealthy man died near Shepherds Station, and
for some good and sufficient reasons the corpse
was buried in the Potters Field. Then followed
the death of q woman of questionable character,
whose remains were also laid in the same field
by kind hands. The funeral of the erring one
was attended few weeks since. A few good
Samaritans laid her to rest. They did not pay
particular heed as to the place where the tainted
one should lie. 1t happened that she was
buried near the wife of olives" and the poor
and rich would have quietly slept their last sleep
side by side had not other events taken place.
Again the angel of death visited the rich mans
elegant dwelling, and this time his arrow pierced
a shining mark. much-loved and beautiful
daughter was stricken down, and again the
father mourned the loss of another loved one
She was buried beside her mother, as the father
supposed. Owing to the inclement season of
the year, no headstones had been raised over
the graves of the mother or daughter. The
friends of the fallen sister did not design to
mark her grave, but were willing her name
should be forgotten.
After tht last funeral had taken place, the
father began to question in his mind whether or
rOt his daughter had been buried in the proper
place beside her mother. He examined the To-
cality carefully, and finally concluded that the
woman of questionable reputation slept between
his loved ones! The matter preyed upon his
mind to such degree that it gave him no rest
day or night. Considerable time had elapsed,
SO that there was no opportunity of ascertaining
by reference to the bodies whether or not such
an error had been made. The father finally took
spade, and proceeding to the burying ground,
ayowed his determination of digging up the
body of the woman of bad character He did
30, and threw the body and coffin outside the
burying ground! The neighbors were incensed
at this action, and gathered about the remains
the next day. One of them happened to pick
up the plate of the coffin, which was so covered
with rust that the letters were quite unintelli-
gible. Diligently he scraped the plate, and
finally he was able to distinctly make out the
name thereon, and behold the husband had dug
up and cast to the toidS the remains of his o,Drl
DiJe!
Of course, all of the remains that could be
gotten together were deceptly inferred again
beside her daughter. Our informant is a respect
able resident of the above locality, and vouchss
for the truth of his statements.

CHILDLEss FARMERs.-A correspondent
of the New England Farmer having
talked of the certainty Of success Of
farmers without children, the editor,
commenting thereon, sensibly says
1--WE must take exceptions to the re-
mark Of our correspondent as to childnsss-
ness being a desirable condition for a
family that proposes to engage in farming.
The fact that the farm is favorable to the
rearing and training of children is, in our
opinion, the strongest possible argument
in favor of farming that can be urged up
on all families who are not smitten by
the curse Of Con or their own criminal
acts. Especially on such farm as that
proposed by "Ex," children may be re-
garded as blessings, even on the lowest
financial plane of view. Here their little
fingers may assist in great variety Of
work, and habits Of industry may be es-
tablished Of far greater value to them
than the inheritance of portion Of the
fortunes occasionally accumulated by mer
in other professions and pursuits. Above
all others, the farm is the place for o
family with children of both sexes. Fol
a childless family, one place is about al
good as another. Its course will soon bt
run. 1t is an outcast, at war with ma
ture, and unfit for the green fields and
the productive soil. Let such meet tn.
oblivion they court amid the brick wall
of the city, which but for fresh blood
from the country farm would soon be no
only childless, but manless and woman
less.
