Mysterious Murder.

In December last, Anna Royce, aged
IL years, daughter of Lawrence Royce.
OF Wurtsboro, near Sullivan Co., N. Y.
left home during the absence of the
family, taking her trunk, Her parents
were unable to ascertain anything about
her whereabouts. It has been ascer-
tanned that one dark morning. as the
stage coach was ascending the noun
tain near Wurtzboro, a man,with a lady
in q carriage drove up rapidly. and re-.
quested the driver of tho coach to take
the lady and her trunk to the village.
ana leave them at the Midland Railroad
DEPOT: This was assented to, and the
man drove away. On last Tuesday. a
young man named Harding. a near
neighbor of the Royce family, saw at
the Erie Railroad depot, in Middletown.
Orange county, box containing q cof-
fin marked Gamma Royce, Centerville.
Sullivan county, N. Y.
Inquiries of the station agent revealed
the fact that the box was from New
York, and that there was a trunk mark
ed with the same name accompanying
it. That night, as the train to Middle
town passed Wurtzboro, the baggage
master was requested to leave the box
at that station on his return, which was
done. The box was subsequently taken
to Dr. koyce's house, and the dead
body of Anna Royce was found. On
Wednesday it was buried, but the next
day it was exhumcd by the coroner, who
summoned jury. BY whom the body
was forwarded, or the manner in which
the girl met her death, is mystery.

Invention for Unloading Ear-Corn.

AhSe"sAO" HUE OnAO1Oan8 EofoCOfns
The labor of unloading ear-corn from
the wagon has been greatly lessened by
an invention, now generally adopted at
the principal corn-buying stations in
Illinois. It consists of platform, from
"A to 80 feet long and from IA to Is feet
wide, and elevated alongside the
corn-crib to the height of the caves of
the crib, say from 10 to IL feet. This
platform is supplied with an easy ap-
proach at one and, and q departure
equally easy at the other. In the mid
die of the platform is a trap door few
inches wider than the whole width of
to the outside of the other, and in
length half that of the wagon. box.
This trap-door connects with the
corn-crib by q shute. The load
is, weighed, driven up the ap-
proach to the platform, with the hind
wheels as near as may be over the cen
ire Of tho trap. A light blow of the
foot raises the latch of the trap, and
down goes the hind end of the wagon
(swlnging on its transom bolt, the fore
wheels remaining in place. to such a
convenient slope that when the patent
end-gate is taken out, the ears slide
out with a roar and rush down the
shute into the crib. The team is then
started, the hind-wheels lifting easily
out OF the trap, and goes on down the
extend of the gangway. A lever is
moved, the trap resumes it's place, the
latch catches, and the platform is ready
for another load. Formerly it was u.s.
ual for the farmer to drive alongside
of the corn crib, and then lift his load
out by means OF O scoop.shovel, always
to height equal to that of his should
ers, and frequently two feet higher than
his head. Now touch of the foot and
turn of the wrist does the whole husi-
ness of unloading in tenth of the time
of telling.

Take barrels and bore holes around

Fill the barrels with stones as high rs

A Novel Apology.

Old Emery was at one period of his
career celebrated for his personification
of the incorruptible but tender-hearted
sentinel in Pizarro. One evening
Pizarro was advertised, and the audi
ence, having waited beyond the usual
time for the curtain to rise, became
impatient, when at length an actor came
forward and informed the audience
that, in consequence of the absence of
principal performer, they were obliged
to request few minutes longer indul-
gsnce. The actor was scarcely off the
stage when Mr.. John Kemble, dressed
for Rolla, walked OF, and said: "La-
dies and Gentlemen-At the request of
the principal performers in the play this
evening, am requested to inform you
that the person alluded to is Mr..
Emery" The house received this
explanation without any expression
OF disappointment. Scarcely had
Mr.. kemble quilted the stage. when.
dressed in great coat and dirty boots.
his lace red with haste and wet with
preparation, on rushed the culpret.
Emery staid some moments before the
audience, apparently much agitated,
q; at length delivered himself to this
effect: "Ladies and gentlemen: This
is the first time that I have had occa-
sion to appear before you as an apollo
gist. As ! have oeen the sole cause of
the delay in your entertainment, allow
me shortly to offer my excuse, when, I
am sure, 1 shall obtain an acquittal,
especially from the fair put of this
assemb!age. Ladies (for you I most
particularly address), my wife" and
here the poor fellows feelings overcame
hlm-"my wife was but an hour since
brought to bed, and T." thunders of
applause interrupted the apology, t:and
1 ran for the Doctor" ssYou've said
enough! exclaimed hundred
tongues. 81 cannot leave her, ladies.
until I knew she was safe"
bravo. Emery, you've SAID enough !"
was re'echoed from all parts of the
house. Emery was completely over
powered; and after an intellectual at
tempt to proceed, retired, having first
placed his hands upon his heart, and
bowed gracefully to all parts of the
house. The play proceeded without
any interruption, but it appears Emery
had not forgotten his obligation to
kemble; for in the scene before the
prison, in which Rolla tries to corrupt
the sentinel by money, the following
strange interruption occurred in the
dialogue: Rolla-" Have you a wife 2"
Sentinel-''I have" Rolla-" Chil-
dren :" Sentinel-"I had two this
morning; I have got three now" Loud
applause followed this Specialization. which
continued SO long that the entire eff
tect OF the scene was lost; and MI.
hemble. after waiting some time in
awkward confusion, terminated it by
abruptly rushing into the prison.
