The Average Pickpocket.

It is generally presumed by MAORI
ty of our citizens, that pickpockets pos
sess some understandable popularity, in
their personal appearance, by which
they can readily be distinguished from
honest folks. Many people entertain
the idea that this kind of thieves must
necessarily have a low forehead, VILLAIN
Gus countenance, and wear a large cloak
to conceal false-hands, and kit of pick
pockets instruments. This mistaken
supposition accounts, in a large measure,
for the ease with which so many rob-
berries are committed. In many cases
the caution of the victims assists the
operation of the thieves. While the
over-cautious are engaged in casting
| suspicious chances around, with the in
tention of avoiding some one who cor
responds with their mental picture of a
rascal, some genteelly appearing per-
sonage, whom they do not for a moment
| suspect, relieves them of their valu-
bles. The appearance of a tastefully-
attired lady, with the modest counte-
nance and delicateIy formed hands, who
apologies so gracefully for her rude
ness and haste in leaving a car, does not
suggest the fact that she has just pick
ed a pocket. The plain, honest-looking
old gentleman, who wears an expression
as benignanB as Beecher's, and assists
an old lady across the street with so
Iicitude that excites admiration, does
not conform with the general impression
of English Bill, the notorious English
pickpocket. There are some suspicious
looking faces among these people, just
as there are among lawyers, doctors,
merchants, or any other class of the
community, but they will compare fav-
orably in personal appearance with any
body of honest citizens, phrenologists
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NoTHING.-The good peo-

streets with human heads in their mouths
wrought sort of panic in the minds of peace
full and law-abiding citizens, who conjured up
visions CT murder the most foul. Yesterday
morning Coroner j. S. Gould went over to Poo
duck to investigate the circumstances. He
made full and impartial investigation, as is
his custom, and elected the fact that the bones
were portion of the left lower extremity of a
medical Subject which DR.. G. A. Ring had
procured for anatomical purposes The bones
had been placed upon the roof of shed at
tached to Cliff Cottage, to bleach. The wind
had swept them off into the snow and they had
become buried up. After the burning of the
Cottage they were found. Then persons who
had much leisure and little discretion magnifled
thigh and an ankle bone into CORY head,
and supplied from their heated imaginations
dog to trundle it about the streets; causing
thereby much trouble and annoyance to the
owners and denizens of the Cottage.
