CATCHING A GRAVE RoBBER.-A young
lady of most respectable family, who died
OF consumption, was buried at Seymour,
Indiana, on Saturday last, and the next
day some friends going to decorate her
grave, found it had been opened AND the
body of the young girl gone. The Giileiai-
natl 'sGazette'' says: !
'1The friends and relatives of the de-
ceased instantly set Il watch for the thief.
On Saturday nignt last a naa got on the
east bound train at Haruensburg, on the
Onio and Mississippi Railroad and had his
baggage, a rather Slnall-SlZed travelling
trunk, checked for Cincinnati. AS soon as
the trunk was put aboard the train, some
relatives OF the family, WHO we've on the
train Watching for suspicious characters.
went forward to the baggage car, and
discovering an unpleasant odor arising
from the trunk, had it opened, and found
Vie body ut the young lady Wedged within
it. To get the corpse into SO small space
it w;ss necessary to cramp it in manner
which indicated that much violent force
had been used. She was lying on her side,
with her knees doubled up under her chin,
and her head violently forced over to one
side in a corner of the trunk. The man
having charge of the trunk WAS imme-
diately arrested, and when the train reach
Ell orth Vernon, was taken off, with the
trunk and its CHASTITY contents, to avail
the arrival of the west-boulld train to take
him back to seymour. When the news
reached that place, the greatest Indignation
was felt among the people. AID opinions
were freely expressed that tie body
snatcher would be lynched on his return
there.
'.The body-snatcher is German. Ina
fnediately after his arrest he confessed the
deed, and said he had been engaged in tie
business for two years, getting his subjects
from along the line of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad and other roads running
into Cincinnati. The price ne said he was
paid Was twenty dollars for a subject. He
seemed to be soterribly frightened that he
could give no intelligent account Ut him
self or his confederates,"

A YOUNG TRAvELER.-A grandson,
aged IL years, of c ,mmodore Boarman,
who was brought h.re over a year ago
from his home in Missouri, left the Com
family SUI )posed, for a walk up street, but
not returning at night considerable alarm
was felt in regard to him, and inquiry and
search was made in every direction without
eliciting any clue to his whereabouts. Last
week Il letter was received from his former
home in Missouri, stating that he had AZ
rived there. He made the trip, near eleven
hundred miles, without money, and having
scarcely knowledge OF the route he had
to travel. This is certainly a wonderful

On the first OF August the express
messengers ceased running on the
Maryville branch. 1t seems this terri
tory formerly belonged by agreement to
the United States Express Company,
but was exchanged with the American
Express Company. a short time since,
for territory in Indiana. The latter
company claim that under the contract
they cannot afford to Il the line, and
hence withdrew their messengers. This
action will occasion considerable incon-
venience to all who have been doing
business with the express company
along the line of this road. We hope
terms will be agreed upon at an early
day, and business not be interrupted
for any great length of time.
