Among the mysteries of the late "tlunk

liar, but not unfamiliar one, that tie de-
ceased Is sWore 10 by so many different
persons. From the volumes of law re-
ports, and from the records of detectives
offices, we might compile page after page
of fascinating narrative upon this single
theme, but our limited space permits us
to give but a few examples. Those that
we note, however, will be found upon
examination to throw shade even of
ridiculc upon that sublime "reasoning

calculus of babillties-through which
KEEPER arrived at the laws of matter.

In 1871 Captain John Buckson. master
of a sailing vessel, lived with his wife
Nancy in a beautiful little cottage in the
village of Seekonk, near Providence, r.
|. He was man OF spotless character,
religious almost 10 Puritanism, but also
very passionate, and that Nancy, being
greatly Younger than himself and very fair
to look upon, should have grown fretful
and unruly, did not add much quietness
to his temper They quarreled often !;
and late one evening neighbor passing
the cottage saw through the open window
the husband standing over the wife in a
threatening attitude, with long whip
cord in his clenched hand, and heard also
an uncomfortable burst of rage and many
threats of violence.
The next morning the cottage was
closed and deserted. This, however, ex-
cited no attention, as John was supposed
to have left on sailing trip, and Nancy
was accustomed to depart frequently,
without announcement, to visit relatives
in a neighboring town. But that after
noon little dog accompanying picnic
party in the adjacent woods paved and
howed ut a heap of sand, until the merry
party examined it and found there-the
corpse of Nancy Buckson.
The people of the town locked round
The horror, recognizing the deceased, her
clothes and her Jewelry. She had been
strangled with u cord, and chloride of
lime had been sprinkled over her body to
hasten decomposition. The cottage was
searched, and q whipcord found upon the
floor which fitted exactly to the marks on
the victims neck; and in the cellar was
Il box of chloride of lime like that scat
tered upon the body.
Buckson was arrested indicted, and on
the day. of the trial that would have sent
him to the gallows. Nancy Buckson, alive
and well, though cross as ever, walked
into the village fresh from visit to dis
tant relatives. The mystery Of the muir

Some years ago, when the writer was u
reporter upon an Eastern paper it devolv-
ed upon him to write for the same edition
an account of the presentation of a gold
headed cane to the Rev Dr. Nudge, she
clergyman of the place, and a description
of u patent hog killing and sausage ma
chine which had just been in operation at
the factory. Now, what made Rev. Dr.
Nudge mad was this: The inconsiderate
buccaneer who made W, the forms of the
paper got the two locals mixed up in a
trightful manner, and when he went to
press something like this was the appal-
ling result:
Several Of the Rev. DR.. Mudgc's
friends called upon him Yesterday, and af-
ter brief conversation the unsuspicious
hog was seized by the hind legs and slid
along q beam until he reached the hot
water tank. His ds~explained the
object of their visit and presented him
with a very handsome gold-headed butch
err, who grabbed him by the tail, swung
him around, split his throat from ear to
ear, and in less then a minute the carcass
was in the water. Thereupon he came
forward and said that there were times
when the feelings overpowered one, and
for that reason he would not attempt to
do more than thank those around him for
the manner in which such q huge animal
was cut into fragments was simply as
tonishing. The Doctor concluded his re-
marks when the machine seized him, and
i'll no less time than it takes to write it
the hog was cut into fragments and work
ed up into delicious sausage. The, occa-
sion will long be remembered by the
Doctors friends as one of the most de-
lghtful of their lives. The best piece can
be procured for fifteen cents pound and
we are sure that those who have sat so
long under his ministry will rejoice that
he has been treated so handsomely"
Mad? Well about nine o'clock that
morning the office had been abandoned
by every man but the advertising clerk,
and he assembled to the roof and robed
himself in u boiler iron, so that he could
watch the venerable clergymanHtearing
around down there in the street with his
congregation, all wearing the panoply of
war; ana carrying butcher-knvts and
things. Next day we explained and
apologized. but the Doctor stopped his
subscription and began 10 take the rival
paper.

From Dublin comes IN account of a
most extraordinary conclaye composed Of
the young lads OF that city, known as the
LurganecrS, the object of which is to en-
gage in and successfully prosecute acts of
cancers are boys of the lowest class, and
their headquarters are three cid coal
vaults under the sidewalk of Lincnhall
street. There they meet 70 count and
secrete their ill-gottcn gains and to con-
coct fresh plots Of villiany. The latest at
tempt of the captain Of the gang was
nothing less than Il cold-blooded. murder
Gus assault. He cnticed 4 bri@ht-looking
boy into one of the vaults, and then com
mcnccd beating him on the head with a
"skull-crackcr''-a short cane loaded with
lead at both ends. The intended victim
struggled violently with his assilant and
finally succeeded in reaching the street,
covered with blood which proceeded from
twelve CHASTITY wounds. The "captain''
was soon after arrested and rcmandcd to
await the result of the boys injuries. 1t
is alleged that the attack was the result OF
deliberate design on the part of the as
sailant, and that he actually had crave
dug for the reception Of the body Of his
victim. In one Of the vaults there GER
tainly is 4 recently-made cavity, rescmb-
ling 4 grave, about u foot and half deep,
and nearly five feet in length, amply sut-
ticent for the purpose, if so horrible a
purpose were really entertained. The
prisoner, on the other hand, has asserted
that he attacked the boy merely to compel
him to give up his money.

The Panama Star tells the following
story OF a smart dog: "When the dog
wishes to cross river where alligators
abound, ne goes up the stream a great
way and banks with all his might. the
alligators go there and wait for him to
swim across. The dog knows what he is
about; when he sees from the number of
shouts above water that his enemies have
all gathered to the feast. he runs down
the bank as fast as he can, and swims
across before the alligators are aware of
the trick that has been played upon them.''
