Collecting a Debt from a Dead Man.

NOAAcCbAnk . DODS - OOoA AAesA-s
An old story is told by an old resident of
Springfield Mass, about the way Pitts
field rumseller managed to get his pay out
of a dead man. 1t seems that about thirty
years ago foreigner, belonging anywhere
along shore, became indebted to Pittsfeld
liquor seller, to the tune of SIC, and soon
after growing sick of the world, he came to
Springfield aud cut his throat greatly, to the
disgust of his Berkshire creditor.
But the enterprising vender of the ardent
was 'not to be foiled, and soon after he
made visit to Springfield and offered GER
tain doctor, known in old times for bis skill
in roLbing graveyards, a good case if he
would accede to his terms. The man OF
the dissecting knife consented, and in the
darkness Of the night the old churchyard
on the river bank, near Trask's foundry,
was robbed of its self-devoted tenant. The
doctor paid Mr.. Rumseller the SIG due him
from the dead man and 50 extra for bis ser
vices, and, after selling the corpse for sou,
felt that be had made good thing out OF the
transaction. The Pittsfeld man otJen
boosted afterward of his skill in getting
money out of the dead.

Nobody Hurt.

The report current in the city last even
ing to the effect that an outgoing train OF
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, had
run over some men at the bridge across the
Cumberland was true, but the supposition
that the occurrence resulted in injury to
ANYBODY was entirely eratuitious, The
men were under the bridge fishing, and
were not at all molested by the passing
train. The ingenious author of the start
ling rumor has steady editorial connection
with the Daily Blolcer, and has for this
reason declined a preferred contract for re-
building the Cont House at Brentwood.

II. Mas, the swindler whose operations
in this city proved so successful few days
ago, has turned up at last in Pulaski coun-
ty, KY, where he is meeting with most fat
tering success. Presenting cheque to one
of the banks in that place, he received upon
it the sum of $3.50. Various other smaller
swindles were perpetrated, and it is said he
contemplates changing his place of resi-
dence very suddenly. Since be left this city
a cheque for $500, which was sent to New
Orleans, has been returned without being
honored. In fact, his credit is getting very
bad all over the S7uth, and if he expects to
do thriving business, he had better leave
for other parts.
