placed In box, and subsequently rein.
tered in the city cemetery. Two or three
small fragments of the coffin which had
enclosed them were found. The crowd
was about equally dividedin opinion as to
the sex Of the deceased, who had evident.
ly been IN adult. The bones were smaller
than those Of the masculine gender, while
the hair on thescalp was quite short. Our
city readers are aware Of the fact that the
locality above described was formerly the
site Of cemetery, and that the ground
was donated to the Hempheld Railroad
Company for depot purposes. At the time
the road was opened to Washington, Pa,
the bodies inferred therein were exhumed
and buried elsewhere. From some cause
the one discovered yesterday was not re.
moved, aud has lain there only a foot or
two below the surface ofJohnstreet, ever
since that street was extended and graded
through the old city cemetery. ID

Of jefferson, that a rejection Of this proposed
Constitution vii, Inevitably again iasten upon
us the test oaths which were so oppressive,
and so pregnant Of mischief to the best inter
osts Of the psoPle.
The Constitution under which We now exist
is bot the oaspringOf the people Of the State,
but, on the contrary, was the work Of few
men during a state Of war-s0me OF whom now
repent, and would fam disOwn its paternity
Let us have the New Coustitution-an instru-
men; Which, tho not containing ererything we
could desire, is admirably adapted to the ne
cessites Of the whole people.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE WARYING.-A negro
girl, aged about fifteen years, living with her
parents three miles from Leesburg, was SC
seriously burned on Saturday night last by the
explosion of a coal oil lamp, that she died be-
fore daylight Sunday morning. She was in
an upper room of the house dressing for ball
and it is supposed attempted to fill ths lamp
while burning. The explosion occurred about
8 o'clock in the evening, and death followed
at four the next morning.
The same night, lamp exploded in the
house of Mr.. Samuel Orrison, in this town, bu;
fortunately with no more serious consequences
than terrible fright and an ugly spot Of grease
These lamps, now in such general use, cannot
be handled with too much caution-LeesJmg
