A Murderer,s Corpse.

When the law was satisfied at West- chester by the hanging of Wm. E. Udderzook, his healthy and robust body became an object to be sought after by surgeons. It will be remem- bered that in letter addressed to the public short time before his execu- tion, the noted criminal expressed @ wish to be buried by the side of his sentimental strain, that he wished his spirit to mingle with that of Goss when they passed over into the land of the blessed. Udderzook was persuaded by his mother and wife to give up the idea of 8 graveyard companionship with Goss, and it was we'll, especially in view of the awkward fact that there are two graves said to contain the remains of the veritable Goss, and separated by several hundred miles. When Sheriff Gill had done his work, it was given out that a kind-hearted Quaker had consented that Udderzook's last resting B place should be in his unpretentious lot in the Hicksites' burying ground, near Westchester, but it now appears that the report was false, and as far as has been ascertained the body left Westchester in the hands of friends, going in the direction of Philadelphia. The mother and wife of the deceased had feared the terrible midnight grave robber, and have not been unmindful of the eagerness with which professors and medical students endeavor to gain possession of such fine subjects as Ud- derzook. They have, therefore, buried him secretly, and only few in whom every confidence may be placed know where he is now moldering. It is be- ieved by some that a vault in Phila- delphia cemetery protects him from the dissecting knife, and others are of the opinion that Udderzook's body has been taken to Baltimore. It cannot be ascertained what disposition has been made of the body, but it is likely that the anxious professors and students will be disappointed. There may, however, be some excitement yet over the mortal remains of Udderzook, and, if so, the dark tragedy in which he led will have a close worthy of the plot, burning, and murder which made up the famous case.

A Test Insurance Case.

An old and bitterly fought insurance suit, which has been on the court calen- dar for nearly nine years, has at last been decided, and it is of so general interest that we cannot but refer to 1t. In 1863 Col. Edwin Brink and Gen. Estes established store at Lexington, N, O., and in November of that year obtained policies of insurance for $15,OOO in the Underwriters Agency. A sudden fire destroyed, as alleged by the proprietors, their stock of goods, valued at about $24, ,O0O, only $4, 900 be- ing saved. The fire originated in the county Courthouse, thirty-six feet dis tant, which with the store was con- stunned. The policy of insurance had not, however, reached them, and two days later it came, forwarded by the agents of the Underwriters. The ap- plication for payment of the insurance was met by prompt and peremptory refusal on the part of the companies, on the ground of fraud, and from that time forward the history of the case has been record of the most determi- ned fight for payment and an equally bitter opposition.
 The companies set up as defense 8 claim of fraud, of arson, of overvalua- tion of the goods, and of want of effort on the part of Brink & Estes to save the goods. The court decided in favor of plaintiffs for the full amount claimed, costs and five per cent. additional.

THE PRESIDENCY.
How the Executive Term of Office Cam
 to be Fixed at Four Years.


 How shall the Executive of repub-
 lie be constituted What shall be the
 powers, the duties, the tenure of office and manner of choosing the Chief Mag istrate?
 These were questions that embar- rassed the United States Constitution framers of l7s7. The light of expe- rience was not Illuminating. In fallen republics the executive machinery was weakest and had broken down first.
 The failure of the old confederation had proved that a government without any Executive was several degrees worse than a government that was all executive, like the Russian. Save ex- amples to be summed, the executive departments of the original States were all that those who gave form to our su- preme law had to study.
 Prior to the convention, John Jay, in reply to Washington's inquiries, ex- pressed himself in favor of an execu- tive limited in his prerogatives and duration. General Knox declared him. self for Presidential term of seven years duration. In the convention the diversity of opinion on this question was almost irreconcilable. The ex- tremes of opinion as to duration of ser vice ranged from tenure for three years to tenure for life. James Will son, Roger Sherman and Cunning Bed ford advocated term of three years, MT. Bedford desiring a provision against re-eligibility after nine years. James McClurg, Gouverneur Morris, Jacob Broome and Alexander Hamilton expressed in words and votes a prefer ence for an executive during good be- havior. On the 1st day of June, six days after the convention organized, iG voted to fill the blank in the Randolph resolutions with the word seven, ineli gibility being 8 part of the resolutions. On the following day eight of the ten States then represented voted to elect the Chief Magistrate by the national Legislature for the term of seven years. On agreeing to the ineligibility clause Pennsylvania was divided and Connec- ticut alone voted no. After one suc- cessful, six unsuccessful efforts to change the tenure, the convention, on the 26th of July, reafirmed their first decision in favor of a President chosen by the national Legislature, to be in- eligible after seven years service. It was not until September 6, eleven days before adjournment, that the existing system was adopted, in Accordance with the recommendation of tho report of the committee of eleven, of which Da- vid Brearly was chairman. The four years term, with silence as to ineligibili ty, was compromise to reconcile and unite extremes.

HANaMAN's DAY.-Two men were hanged in Pennsylvania ona Thursday. It is worthy of notice that the old cus- tom of making Friday the legal chang mans day" has been disregarded. In deference, apparently to an ancient su- perstition, Friday has from time imme- naorial had the unhappy repute of being the most fitting day on which men could be hanged. The notoriously bad char acter of the day has thus been strength ened by legal usage, though few sen sible judges have broken the rule in different States.

Manufacturers in New England.

The Providence Journal publishes the subjoined extract from letter from one of the most intelligent and success full manufacturers in Connecticut:
 "1n regard to the business, there is no use in manufacturers deceiving themselves. We are making too many goods for these times, and our only remedy is to run our mills not more than half time for at least six months and cure this state of things. It is strange that the manufacturers will not use common sense and meet the case like men of common sense. I am told that many of your mills in Rhode Island are still running full time. There will be serious trouble if this is continued, trouble which can be pre- vented now, but which it will soon be too late to prevent"

When heated (but not red hot), the iron is to be passed slowly over the putty, thereby rendering the latter so soft that it will part from the wood without any trouble.
