A MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-Achille st. Dizier.
Coroner at 1berville, wrote to gentleman
of this city, informing him that he had held
an inquest on the body of young woman
which had been found floating in the river
mile above Iberville. She was about five
feet high, had on purple calico dress, COT
ton undershirt, good shoes, red silk hand
kerchief around her neck, a handkerchief
in her pocket contained six dollars and
twenty-five cents. An iron key and q down
passage ticket Of the steamboat John Kill
gour. were also found in the pocket. APP
pearances indicated that the corpse had
been in the water not less than two weeks.
The left arm had been severed from the
body, and the right knee was badly bruised.
The Coroner did not state whether he had
ascertained~ her name, but he asks that
inquiries be made of the officers OF the
Kilgour if they remember aught OF her.
Appearances indicate that she was muir
dered, and it is possible such was the case.
Could her history be traced doubtless pages
of romance and reality would be uncovered
sufficient to dish up tale of horror terrible
enough to satisfy the most morbid.

\RiOt at Landisburg.- riot, that for a
time threatened to be very serious, occurred
at Landisburg, on Tuesday last, between
some Of the citizens and the men attached
to DR.. Thayer's circus. From all we can
learn, the trouble originated by some fel-
lows, who were operating under the COM
mand of Captain Whisky, interfering with
horses in the stable set apart for the use of
the showmen. Words soon led to blows, and
in the first skirmish the showmen came off
victorious. The defeated party, however,
received reinforcement, and towards even
ing the fight was renewed and this time
the actions of the showmen were outra-
geous. Instead of confining their attacks
to those who were engaged in the fight they
attacked the citizens promiscuously, and
clubs and stones were freely used. About
sundown the excitement was so great that
the stores were compelled to close, and wo-
men and children were afraid to be on the
street. In several instances peaceable citi-
zens were knocked down and abused, and
for an hour or two a reign of terror prevail
ed. There was no performance by the COM
pany in the evening, as originally intended
they taking down their canvass and pre-
pairing to depart for Carlisle-which they
did abont four o'clock the next morning.
The only citizen of the county whom we
hear Of being seriously hurt, was Levi
Stineberger, who was cut on the he head
and injured so that he had to be taken
home. His injuries, however, are not sup
posed to be dangerous. Several of the cir
Gus men were considerably injured, though
not so badly but what they were able to
leave with the company,
The whole affair originated from whisky,
and shows the impropriety of freely selling
liquor upon the occasion Of such gather
ings.
LATER.--Since the above was in type, we
learn that one of the showmen died of his
injuries ut Carlisle.

Burned to Death.-on Wednesday even

q Burned to Death.-On Wednesday even
ing last, young lady named Miss Susan
Miller residing in Newport, was seri-
ously burned by the taking fire of the gas,
arising from gasoline oil. The facts of
the case as we learn them from her brother,
are, that Miss Miller had gone with a
bottle to purchase some of the oil from Mr..
Ritner. While Mrs. r. was turning the
oil from the measure into the bottle, the
gas took fire from the lamp Miss Miller was
the contents of the bottle. This, Mrs. Rit-
ner threw out of the house, Lut in such q
manner that it passed over the head Of Miss
Miller, who was instantly enveloped in
flames. She at once ran into the garden
and fell among the tomato vines and COW
cred her face with her hands, which, in a
measure prevented her from inhaling the
flame. Some person came to her assistance
and threw blanket around her, and by
this means, and tearing off the clothing, the
fire was soon extinguished. Miss Miller
was found to be badly burned, but still it
was hoped that her injuries would not prove
fatal In this hope, however, her friends
were disappointed as death came to her
relief the following evening.
1t is but short time since we recorded
an accident that happened in Perrysville
from this kind Of oil, and with this fur
ther proof of its inflamability, we should
think people would refuse to use it. If no
other means will prevent its use, the proper
authorities ought to prohibit its sale with
in borough or city limits
