A New Business in Paris.

A singular business has lately been
discovered at Paris. Two elegantly
dressed ladies were pricing some eravats
at the Magasin du Louvre, when the
clerk noticed that some had disappeared,
and, as tie ladies were alone at the coun-
ter, they were politely asked to step up
stairs, where they would be searched BY
persons of their sex. OF course they were
very much offended, but had to comply,
and they were stalking up the stairs,
when, 10 they dropped q collection of
small articles along the way, which the
people behind them picked up with great
hilarity. 1t seems that the trick Of these
females was to throw down what they
wisht d t. steal, and, wearing large shoes,
would slip them off and pick up the OBJ
ject with their foot; then, lifting it as
high as possible, hold it there Che OBJ
ject not the fuot,) which can only be
be done after much practice still, it
seems Il a. ascending stairs is not feas~
ible. W ell, seeing their thefts discover
ed, they cried and tainted, offered large
sums of money to he let free, but in vain.
Seventeen hundred francs worth Of arti-
cles were seized on them then, and they
were taken to prison. They are Span
iards and lady-like in appearance, living
in rue Lafayette, and sisters; one is mars
ried and her husband pretends to be a
broker their son was in one of our best
schools, and they lived in great style.
When the husbaGd heard of his wife's
arrest, he drove to his sons school, took
him away, and left for parts unknown.
Forty thousand francs worth Of goods of
all kinds were seized in tEeir apartment,
nearly all belonging to the Magasin du
Louvre, which they seem to have largely
Patronized

The Newark Courier says Verify
they are not all dead yet The public
well remembered the terrible calamity
on the Norris & Essex road at Spring 81,
about i've years ago, when the daring
engineer, Nate Nichols, lost his life. 1t
occurred on the 10th. OF October. Recent
" some wag started the story that on the
10th of every month az midnight, SPEC
trail locomotive, controlled by the ghost
of Nichols, appears at the scene of the
memorable accident The interesting
tale Immediately gained more credulity
than one would suppose possible.
Yesterday was the 10Th of the month,
and as early ae half past 8 clock last
evening a score of superstitious individ-
uals were to be seen shivering Oh the
stonp of Mr. COnklin's house, close by the
spot where tine tragedy occurred. The
puzzled occupant of the dwelling at first
supposed that he had been honored by a
surprise party, but as the little group pre-
sent soon increased to a hundred, and
the people still focked towards the place,
his mistake became apparent. When
midnight came not less than six hundred
people were gathered on the ground to
behold the spectral engine and the spirit
! at its lever. Want of space prohibits q
fuller reference to the novel occurrence.
The terrible silence that prevailed when
the solemn hour approached, the steady
gaze all fxed upon the place where the
ghost was expected to appear, and the
disappointment and subsequent disper-
sion of tine curious six hundred, are facts
which crowded columns make it impossi~
bic for the writer to dwell upon The
subject is the theme of conversation up
town, and naturally creates no little in
terest.
A good part of the story remains to be
told. An employee on the road who ap-
preciated the occurrence, entered the
ReighbOring engine-hOuse, and az the
proper moment made the whistle of one
of the engines sound an uuearthly shrek.
He repeated this as long as the little
steam in the engine would permit, with
first class effect on the crowd.

night preceding Christmas. lie lived on
Mr. p r. Jones place, mile or two in

has not been seen since he started tor
home on the night in question. It was
considered probable that he lost himself
in the brush and died from exposure.
The body not having been discuv>
cred and other circumstances led some

dealt with. a pond on Mr. Jones place
was drained on Monday, in the hope that
the body would be found therein, but
it proved otherwise.
The draining Of the pond failing tC
throw any light on the mystery attached
to Folks disappearance, it was comedies
to be one Of thoso events which time alone
would explain. Such proved to be the
case On Wednesday morning, tn body
was found in ditch in tho locality

wounds were in the head and, no doubt
were inflicted with club From the siz

body was found, it is supposed two Q
three persons were concerned in tn
murder
