SAD TERMINATION OF A HoNEYMooH.oa
few days ago the hrm OLA. W. Mitchell q 90,
brokers aud insurance agents, dong Dusloess
on the northeast cor1er OF Third and Chestnut
streets, became convinced that there were II,
regularities in their office, and, after careful
watching and Investigation, suspicion fastened
ON Thomas CoDboy, their bookkeeper, who, 90
being charged with the crime. admitted that
he was guilty, ADD accordingly ne was locked
nm at the Chestnut street Police station last
Saturday afternoon, aud yesterday warrant
was sworp out 10 the Court of Criminal Cor
rection by Andrew g. Travis, oue of the hrm
of A. w. Mitchell & Co., charging him win
embezzling four hundred and thirty oohafsi e
Conboy is rather a: 6ue looking young man Vi
about twenty FIVE years, neat 10, appcarauSgye,
and said to be an excellent bookkeeper. tlie
father and mother reside 10 this city, haVlog
formerly lived in Beevle, where tney were
b,yhy respected. The aged couple are almost
heart-broken at the so of their son and would
yladly have made restitution and hushed the
matter I'D if it were possible, but their re-
sources are so limited that this was an impos'
sibility. But there is another and perhaps.a
sadder feature iu this case. Young Conooy
had been paying devoted attentions to young
and beautiful lady for sometime, who requlted
his Affections by giving him her heart and
hand, and on Friday evening last, but one
short day prior to his arrest, the two were jolu--
ed 10 wedlock After learning of his crime aud
arrest. the bride Of day gave way to violent
expressions of grief and sorrow, utterly retus
ing to be comforted. Her maiden name is with
held out of respect to herself and family. The
peccadilIoes OF Mr.. Conboy reach back as far
as last July, and were managed 10 such man
ner as not TO create suspicion until the denoue-
mept. Another feature Of this unfortunate
case is that it is said the money thus surreptl-
tiously obtained was lavished on. another lady
than the one who subsequently welded him.

THE SOUTHERN
BREAKFAST WHEAT I.

Made from pure selected Southern Grain. Es-
pecially adapted to persons Of sedentsry habits.
The best writers on health unite in pronounc-
ing the hard Southern Wheat more siren gthen-
ing and invigorstng in its properties than wheat
raised in more northern ATTITUDES.
For Persons in Health-lt ministers to the
daily requirements Of the whole human system.
1t feeds the brain, and thus enables the Clergy
man, Lawyer, Physician, Editor or Student to
perform increased labor and continually replen-
ish the brain power. 1t gives nerve and vital
force 10 the III erchant and NJ Manufacturer 1t
furnishes to the laboring man the greatest
am, unit Of muscle. making and life-supportlng
material-more than twice the amount furnish
cd in the white br. ad so generally in use.
AS Break fast Dish ii is uneQualled, and Is
now rapidly coming into general use IN the Ho-
tells, Boarding Houses and Private Families IN
this country. Its preparation for the table Is
very simple-can be used for dessert in pud-
dings, or in muins, griddle cakes, aid AS por-
ridge, cruel or muSh. directions for cooking on
each package.]
For Children no food can be better in devel-
opng the young brain, nerves and muscles and
fattening the body.
For Dyspeptics and lnvalids-All persons
suffering from weakness of the digestive organs
will find great reliet and comfort in the use Of
the Southern Breakfast Wheat
For persons advanced in life, whose vital
forces have been impaired, the Southern Break
fast Wheat will be found most generous and
vigor, and uldiDg up The general health.
V EwS OF SCIENTIFIC MEN:
Wheat by common consent Ianks first in nu-
trtive value among grains 1t abounds in the
valuable elements which the body requires;
mineral matter f2r the bones glu en- or the
tissues, starch tor respiration. ~ Ycumans.
THE nutritive quality of any variety of grain
depends very much upon the proportion of
gluten it contains. By sitting out the bran we
render the meal less nutritious 1.-THE total sep
nration OF the covering of the grain causes n uch
vast. of who; esome human food. Bread or food
made from the VIII lc wheat or meal is therefore
more nutritious and. rs many persons fud 1t
al.o more salutory food than white bread. 1t
ought to be more generally prepared and used
ID hnstpn.
The outer husk of the wheat grain contains ~
gluten or other Entriiive quality whatever and
being very absorben of moisture, readily gen.
crates mould ard decay.
By our improved process Of decortication. this
worthless, unwhoiesome musk is removed, (but
not the inner brar J while, q: the same time, the
unbroken grain is cleans"d OF smut, cookie. ,usL
insect eggs, and other impurities lso common
TO all wheat, } and thoroughly dried.

Discovery Of Roman Remains.

the workmen in the employ of Messrs.
Butlin & Co., iron works, W ellington

the property of r. Arkwright, Esq,

fin six feet from the surface, the BODY
of which was hewn out of solid stone.
being in such good state of preserva-
ton as to make it evident that it had
been neatly dressed by some skillful
workman. The lid or cover. composed
of only one slab of stone, was made fast
to the body of the coffin by four
wrought-iron clamps, fixed in the stone
In the same manner as is usual In the
present day. On removing the lid it
was found that the principal bones of
the arms and legs, together with por-
ton of the skull (to which was attached
small quantity of apparently light
auburn hair) alone remained; the rest
had returned to dust. From the leg
bones was collected some fbrous sub.
stances, which on closer examination
appeared to be part of burial gar
ment. This burial ground on which
the remains have been found is hard bv
a Roman encamrment, and during the
last twelve months. during excavations,
no less than 200 or 800 skulls have
been turned up, some of them very
perfect, and in not few of them the
teeth were in fine state of preserya.
ton. Other rudely-made tombs have
been discovered, consisting only of
pieces of fiat stone, placed vertically,
and snrmounted by stone slab. Sew
eral bronze bowls have also been found ::
two of them, which were beautifully
carved, were evidently used for culn-
airy purposes. Coins of Faustina, Ad-
rianus, Gratianus, Antonius and Con-
stantnus have been picked up in the
Immediate vicinity.

More About the MennOnites.

The Rev. Mr. Neumann, pastor Of a
German Congregation in New York
city, writes to the Westbote newspaper
of Allentown. Pa, concerning two par
ties of Mennonites with whom he had
been brought into contact. One of the
parties, consisting Of some hundreds.
had just arrived at Castle Garden. in
the. Hamburg steamer from Russia, and
the other party, of how many we arr
not told, had just arrived at the sam
place by train from the West. These
latter had landed in New York oDly
five or six weeks before, having sold
their property at a sacrifice in Russia,
and, Immediately after arriving in New
York, had gone to Dakota, where thew
were not pleased. In Nebraska thew
had seen the desolation caused by the
grasshoppers Everywhere they hal
met with people out Of work, and con-
sequently in need and misery. All
this filled the new corners with fear.
anguish, and terror. They therefore
stralghtway turned their faces back
ward towards the East, and got into
Caste Garden just in time to meet their
countrymen and co-religionists as thew
disembarked. The latter filled with
glowing hopes, were naturally good
deal put out by such "a greeting as they
received from the retreating brethren,
and could not well make out what it
meant. However, they all seem,
though with some miseiving to have
set out on the journey westward, deter
mined to see things for themselves.
No doubt they will do well, and in the
long run have no reason to regret their
change Of abode.
From Mr.. Neumann's rcnort the
runaways appear to be people too timid
and simple minded to be away from
home anywhere without guardian.
eve cannot stay in this land" they
said to the clergyman, and they gave
the reasons Here" said they,::"
pie curse: in Russia people pray.
Here the, children do not remain Ger
man; in Russia our children continue
German. Here is veritable religious
Babel, in Russia one knows what(of
what religion one is. Here one can
not earn even ones bit of bread"
And SO forth. The good people final
~ said No, no; We go back, we would
live in our faith, in our faith die; in
Russia would We buried. 'Dear, good,
pious hearts" they seemed to the pas
tor, and it is not unlikely that religious
fears for their descendants in this pro
fame land had most to do with their
flight. Who dare say that faith is
dead?
