Circumstantial Evidence.

The Austin, Texas, Statesman says -
Ben. Shelby, Arthur Shelby, Ball Woods
and William Woods were convicted of murder
in the first degree, in Burnet county, last
week, and sentenced by Judge Turner to be
hanged on Friday, Jan. Is. The case was
one of the most interesting in the annals of
criminal trials. Ben McKeever, the murder
ed man, was shot from his horse at night,
near Shelby's, his throat cut, his body carried
on horseback three miles, and thrown into a
cave in the prairie $50 feet deep. A large
rock was placed on the bloody spot where his
throat was cut, and apparently every precau-
ton was taken to avoid detection. The APP
pearance of the rock indicated to the keen
eye of the frontiersman that il had been re-
Gently placed there. Close by it was paper
wadding fired from n shot gun. On examin-
ing the gun of Ben Shelby, paper wadding
was found in it, and another piece Of paper
that had evidently been fred from shotgun
was found under Shelby's doorstep. In his
house was found the Chimney Corner period
ical, and it was ascertained by comparison
that the three pieces Of gunwadding had been
torn from that paper. A small fragment Of
McKeever's coat, of peculiar texture, found
at the bloody spot, revealed the fact that the
murder had been committed there. There
were many other circumstances pointing to
the accused persons as the murderers, but one
deserves special mention. On carefully plac-
ing the paper found where the blood had
been covered by the rock, and comparing it
with the wadding found in Ben. Shelby's gun,
the following enigma could be read from one
paper to another:
''With piece Of paper or q slate,
Sit round the fire both large and small I;
letter make, almost an eight,
And now you see what covers all.

subterranean Fire.

Three miles from Bainbridge, Ross county,
is located on a hill of great altitude, known
as "Copperas Mountain" Out of the top OF
the mountain issues a constant stream OF
smoke, while on its summit and general sur
face the vegetation has withered and died,
until the whole hill presents barren, sterile
and desolate aspect, blasted as If by whirl-
wind of fire. The ground on the top Of the
hill is so uncomfortably hot that it is almost
impossible for barefooted person TO walk
there. 1t Is believed by persons who have
visited and inspected this Lusus nature, that
the entire interior of the hill is mass Of ig-
nited combustble matter, and that the fire is
and has been spreading with considerable
rapidity. The theory presented TO account
for this strange phenomenon Is that on our
about the first day of last October the party to
whom the land belongs was burning brush on
the hill side, and that the flames commnnica-
ted TO innammable matter, probably crude oil,
coal. or other eombustible substances contain.
ing the geological formation Of the bill, and
that the hill being full Of such matter, the hre
gradually gained Roadway, until the Interior
6as become a mass Of molten metal The
ouenchina OF the FIRE, is, Of course, impossible
from It's situation, aud how long it will burn,
and when, IL ever, the fire will reach point
where il can be controlled can only be con-
;ectured. Atpresent there is no danger to be
apprehended to property in the vicinity, but
there is no telling what shape the thing may
eventually take, and there are not wanting
those whose imaginative disposition lead them
10 predict that this is but the beginning OF
what may turn out TO be young volcano.--

The Dead Alive.

A few days ago, says the Chicago Times.
Mr. Muhlbeshch was taken suddenly i'll,
at his residence. His disease was Of a
very acute nature, and in spite Of all the
efforts Of his physicians he died after a
brief illness, and his sorrowing friends
made ready for the funeral. An under
taker was summoned and the body prop-
erly laid out, and on yesterday the funeral
services took place from his late residence
After the customary services had been
performed and the sorrowing relatives had
taken their last look at the deceased the
coffin lid was screwed down. and the fu-
neral cortege moved slowly forward To the
quiet confines Of Gaceland Cemetery.
where the body was finally lowered sadly
into the grave which had been prepared
for it. The last prayer had been offered
and the last solemn service repeated. when
just as the sexton seized his spade and was
about to drop the first shovelful of earth
upon the coffin, sound something like a
stifled groan, followed by scratching
noise, as If the dead man were irving 10
release himself from the confines Of his
narrow house, was heard proceeding from
the still open grave.
For an instant every heart stood still,
and the blood of every listener seemed to
curdle in his veins. The women screamed
and FASTENED toward the carriages. while
the men were not slow in following them.
Ia an instant, the sexton was the only man
left at the grave, and he too trembled at hear
ing what he had never heard before. FL
nally he recovered presence of mind
enough to descend into the grave and
break open the rough box in which the
coffin was encased Then the noise was
repeated, and he knew that the occupant
of that grave, who in a few minutes more
would have been consigned tc a horrible
death, and whom his friend had already

NORTHERN EMIGRANTs RETURNING
The Dover Delaioareaa says A num-
Der of persons who recently came into this
Stat. and bought farms, have gone, and
others are now selling out and preparing
to 60, back whence they came, or to move
to localities where they believe they can
do better Some of these settlers, chiefly
from the State of New York, were disap-
pointed in their expectations in regard to
the profits of fruit farming, having gone
into it without experience, and hence. to
use an agricultural figure, cut too broad
swath at the start, but the greater num-
Der became discouraged because the loca-
ton of their dwellings completely isolated
their families-placed them half mile or
mile or more from neighbors with whom
they could or would be willing to associate.
After moving here they found there was a
constant drain upon their resources to
pay travelling expenses for wife and daugh-
tiers to and from the old home, and much
trouble, inconvenience, discomfort and
expense occasioned by their protracted
absence After enduring this for year
or two, and there seeming to be no
end to it, it is not surprising that the latter
class of settlers determine to remove at any
sacrifice to where they can have their fam
lilies about them at all times and not feel
like sojourners in strange land.
