qlThe Body Of q WOman Found.

Recently the almost nude body Of Mary
Loichet, aogeomely and educated young
woman, was discovered in dismal swamp
close to the Buffalo, Cory and Pittsburgh
Railroad, within a short distance of Cory.
The remains of the unfortunate girl were
taken to that city, and on Monday coro-
ner's inquest was held. From the post
mortem it was found that Miss Loiebet
had been outraged, and murdered to con-
ceal the crime. Scattered around in the
Inoriiss were black alpaca dress, straw
bat. underclothes, shoes and stockings. On
the body was a waterproof cloth wrap,
while near by were five or six tarnshed
pictures. Miss Loichet was euticed or
carried to the dreaTy spot, as the swamp
is but rarely visited ~, The victim resided
with Joshua Barnes, who is represented to
be worthy citizen. Miss Loichet origi-
nally came from Lancaster, Erie CO., New
York. No clue has been discovered up to
this time as to the murderers. The city of
CORY has offered reward of $500 to slim
ulate those working the case. "A few
weeks since q . man brutally murdered
his wife near where the Loichet tragedy
occurred. ~ ~"

A Queer Business,

Tod
There is a man in New York who is
amassing handsome fortune by buying
and selling pennies, two and three cent
pieces. and five cent nickles. In many Of
the newspaper offices, news depots, ferry
offices, retail houses whore cheap goods are
sold, bakeries, and other places the accu-
mutation Of small coin very often becomes
so large as to be cumbersome. 1t cannot
bo disposed OF, for coin is so plenty that
customers object to taking it in change in
any great quantity, and in business houses
where it is needed the regular sources Of
supply are always ample. The coin might be
sent to the Philadelphia Mint for redemp-
ton, but the requirements Of the redemp-
ton department are enough to discourage
any business man. To send pennies to the
mint they must first be sorted, and wrapped
in packages Of five dollars each. Coin of
each separate mintage must be put togeth-
er. 1t will not DO to mix the old-fashioned
coppers with the bright or bronzed colored
nickles, nor can two or three cent piece
bo mixed with the pennies. If they are
packed in this way they are shipped back
to the sender without delay or notice of any
kind. The law also prescribes that the
coins shall be packed in iron-bound boxes,
and shipped at the senders expense. As
coins are heavy the cost of transportation
is considerable. The officials count the
money at their leisure, and some times the
sender does not hear from his consignment
in nearly q year. He thus loses the use of
his money for that length of time. This
combination of vexatious details prevent
those who have an accumulation of coin
from sending it to the mint and it seems
as though the officials at Philadelphia in
tented that they should not be troubled
with it.
Every day man rides to the newspaper
and other offices in buggy, and buys the
coin which has been taken In from the
newsboys and the customers. For the PEN
nies and two cent pieces he pays ninety
seven cents hundred, and for the three
and five-cents nickels he gives ninety nine
cents for dollars; worth. The sellers
are glad to dispose of their coins at this
discount The man then rides TO about
the only tradesman in the city who desire
quantity of pennies-the pawnbroler
and to them he sells the coins at par, taking
their notes for three, months in payment.
The pawnbrokers who have shops among
the poorer classes of people say that they
need small denominations of the fractional
currencyor or coin, as many of their loans do
not exceed ten or fifteen cents. Many poor
persons pawn their articles Of wearing ap-
parel or trinkets only when driven to do so
by the want of a single meal of food,
and such are not particular to the de-
nomination Of the money they receive
The pawnbrokers give their notes without
interest, thereby gaining the use of the
money for three months. ..r..

Panic in a Church.

At Montreal, on Monday a week, while
the anniversary services we're being held in
the Roman Catholic parish church, the out
sr circle or partition separating the altar
from tho passage leading to the vestry
room, caught fire from an explosion of gas.
The large audience, seeing the fire. made
a rush for the doors, and scene of in
describable confusion ensued. Men, women
and children rushed headlong against each
other, and the weaker ones were in many
cases thrown to the floor. Some 800 were
thus trampled upon. Tho officials of the
church opened all the doors and did every
thing possible to allow the people free exit.
The fire was Immediately ,extinguished. u
The list of casualties is thought to be large.
A child was carried away dead, and Mrs.

of Robinson would satisfy him. Robins
son claims that he was justiGable, and
says that he took shot gun and went
to Marler's 10 kill him. He waited in
the yard till Marler came out for the pur>
pose of feeding his COW. When within
a few PAGES of Robinson, the murdered
man having seen him, he cried out
