Wheeling: .Js.. ..,r -
Nv attention having been called to the
Fifth ward 6urying ground, on q view Of
the yard. this, morning, | found some
seven or eight panels Of the fence down,
and the wash of the hill exposing the
collins, and the bones of the dead washed
down on Twenty-second street, some OF
which had been gathered up and covered
over by persons. There are some six or
seven monuments washed from their
places and lying in the gutter, which al
some points is from FIVE to six feet deep
The cause of this, in a great measure,
arises from the neglect of the Street Com
missioner. in letting parties on the sopt9
side of Twenty-secOnd street locate cCal
houses in and over the gutter on the
north side of Twenty-second street,
thereby turning the water against the
fence of said yard and by the filling OF
the gutter higher than any other part oil

resolution for your consideration ana

AMYsTERIOUs SUICIDE.
A Man Found, Hanging-No Cause
4 Assigned for the Rash Act.

The first thing that greeted our ears
last might after coming out Of the Coun-
Gil meeting, was the report that q man
had committed suicide by hanging him
self in the woods near Frank Walters
place, two miles from this city, on the
National road. The report proved to be
true, and as far as we could learn, the
following are the particulars:
The mans name was Gottlieb Vie, a
German employed by MessrS. Walters
g. Shallcross as laborer in their vine
ward, about two miles from this city.
Wiel had been in good spirits all the
dav, and came in from his work at noon,
and ate hearty dinner at Mr.. Walters ,
as usual. After finishing his midday re-
past he returned to his labor, and that was
the last time he was seen alive.
About seven o'clock in the evening his
lifeless body was discovered hanging
from the limb of tree in the woods. A
stout rope was around his neck, and his
body was perfectly nude, having stripped
of every vestige of his clothing before
hanging himself. He had evidently been
dea%Several hours when found.
Mr.. Wiel was sober and industrious
man, and he had given no signs of men,
tai arrangement previous to hanging
himself, and what led him to be his own
murderer is mystery to all who knew
him. He was about tifty-tive years OF
aye, and leaves wife and daughter, the
latter being married.
Squire Gillespy was notified of the
affair and he empannelled jury and
started out the pike last night about
twelve o'clock, for the purpose of holding
an inquest.

THE PHILOSOPHER ~. N.'-The I'M
mortal J. N" the philosopher, scholar
and thinker, called upon us yesterday.
He has not been before the public much
for the last three years, having lived in
retirement on his farm in Ohio, but he is
now again gradually lifting the veil
which has enshrouded his truths. Every
body will remember how he assumed
the pressure during the late war, and
few there were but believed that time
would show that his principles were COR
rect from his standpoint
~. N stands ready to assume all the
prejudice and responsibilities that are en-
gendered by the PRONUNCIATION of views
that differ frem the established ideas of
the age. He will not urge his truths in
this city until the 18th of September, in
order to establish his principles gradual
". So surely as truth is eternal and right
nvincible, 50 surely will the principles
of -. n" rise PhpniX-like Chicago
from their ashes and live forever. Selah
