GENERALITIES.
Woodbury,s DRY Bones.

The people of Woodbay CWoodburyO New
Jersey, are greatly excited about the recent dis
covery of q large bed of human bones, on q farm
about one mile southeast of the town. The bed
is several feet in thickness, and two or three
rods in extent, and the bones are lying within
three feet of the surface. The owner of the
farm, before leaving for Philadelphia, gave in
structions to his men to cart some earth from an
adjoining field to cover compost heap. On his
return in the evening he found to his surprise
that the heap was partially covered
informed, and upon examination it was
found that this mass of bones were
piled in together promiscuously, and are of an
unusually large size. The bottom of the bed is
thickly covered with charcoal, and the lower
tier of bones fall to pieces as soon as touched.
Those on top are well preserved, and are but
little affected by the length of time buried. A
committee OF townspeople was appointed to
take some specimens to the professors of the
Academy of Sciences of Philadelphia, and next
week scientific examination will be made. 1t
is supposed that they are the bones of an Indian
tribe, but so far there are none of the war In
dian relics found among the bones, which leaves
some doubts on this point.-N. Y. Tribune.
An Astounding Crime In Spain.
The GduloiS gives an account of a horrible
and mysterious affair in Spain, which it first
heard by telegraph, and which it says it would
not believe had not the details (yet incomplete)
been confirmed by letter from its own. corre-
spondent, M. Miranda. The story is that on
February II a band of people (number not
stated broke into a house at Alclra, little
village near Valencia, at 3 in the morning
They got in by making hole in the roof. The
name of the owner of this house was NJ. Baluda.
He was in bed with his wife. The invaders pulled
them out of bed, and put gags in their
mouths. Then they went to the rooms where six
children were sleeping. These children they
bound with cords, and then, in sight of their
parents they tore out their eyes and tongues.
Afterwards they cut off the feet of NJ. Baluda
and his eldest son, named Vincent, but tpurposely
left the tendon near the heel unsevered and then
they hung them up head downwards. After these
achievements they ransacked the larder made a
good breakfast, jeering at their victims all the
time, and left the house at daybreak.
Two of the villains have been arrested. One
named Ferdinand Baluda, is q near relation of
the family. He went by the alias of Cabot.
The other man in custody is named Vincent
Morera, alias Tortet. The number of the gang
is not stated They did not rob the house, and
therefore it is supposed that they were impeled
| to execute vendetta a la Corse. Nothing more
| is yet known of this astonishing crime.

rassment. Bnt Senator Casserly
knowing the tricks of Grant and his
official friends, worded his resolution
with such legal skill that the truth.
must be given without equivocation,
and there is where the shoe pinches.
Leading Radicals here, held a con-
ference on Friday last to consider
the proposition to repeal the law re-
curing a new session Of Congress
To be convened on the 18th OF March
next. There is but little doubt, but
that in the madness which now pos
sesses the Radicals, they will repeal
the law, though q great many OF them
concede. that it will hurt their party.
Another nail in their coffin. The
President had sent for Horace Gree
lev several times before he came. He
wanted his advice on some matters;
some say it was on horse matters and
others maintain that it was on farm
ing, Greeley's great hold. Horace
said that until his friend Fenton
should have his share of New York
patronage as became a Senator be
would not give Grant any advice.
Greeley is down on Grant for being
an active partisan Of Senator Conk-
| ling in his quarrel with his colleague,
Fenton. AT General Walbride's bur
ial the other day Grant went to
where Horace was standing, and put
ting his hand or his shoulder, asked
him to ride to the city with him. He
did so, and SO rests the question. I
guess Greeley will give Grant his
advice free gratis for nothing.

Deputy Clerk

THos. B. MoSRoE.-An incident in
the judicial career OF this gentleman,
says the n. o. Times, who, for over
25 years, occupied the position OF
Federal Judge in Kentucky. will IL
iustrate the high purity of his char
acter, and may serve to remind the
Judiciary of our day how conscienti-
ously Judges of the olden Time hold
the scales of Justice.
A student in the Judges law col
lese one day asked him If, in decid-
ing Cause, he ever had felt any bias
or prejudice for or against the par
ties. The Judge promptly said ::
Never but once; III tell you the
stery. There was a very important
case, which was argued with great
ability before me by the me-. t s,s
! .s.nenis.,e,aa iaw-s- ~. the bay Of
/, Frankfort, and it took two weeks in
the trial. Every morning, as the
4 Court opened, little woman, dress
cd black, ,nodestly and unassuming
~ coureseyed to the court, as if un-
seen, and took her seat near the
door; just before the court adjourned
she retired, not without making, al
ways courtesy. Itattracted my at
tention, and 1 inquired who she was
/ was told she was u party to the
suit then on trial. When the cause
was submitted, and was preparing
tmy opinion, found it impossible to
Idisniss from my mind that little wo-
man and her courtesey: I began to
doubt whether 1 conld do justice in
I the case. | studied the matter yer,
closely, and finally decided in hel
favor. 1t involved the title to al
she possessed in the world. Il never
said the old Judge, ''was entirely sat
isfied that my decision was correct
until it was finally unanimously at
| firmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States. [ feared my judg
ment had been warped by the sim
plicity of the little woman in black.
