A Strange FUNERAL ShrOud.

In reading the following narration many
persons in the western part of Rutland
county the name will be recognized
of one who was for several years
resident of Aoultney, who together
with her husband carried on the millinery
business at that place.
On the first instant Mrs. NJ. M. Scho-
field, wife of Lewis w. ScLodeld, lead
inf mlliner of Saratoga Springs, died of
heart disease. aged fifty-two years, and
was buried the Saturday following from
the Baptist church at Saratoga.
The casket was made of yellow pine
lined with zinc and rich white satin, and
covered with rich black silk velvet, with
most elegant and elaborate silver trim
mings. The whole top of the casket being
| off disclosed the whole-length figure of
the beautiful corpse. She was clad in a
full dress of rich black silk velvet, trimmed
| with lace. One hand delicatcly gloved,
| held rich lace handkerchief, and on the
| other hand, which was bare, glistened the
diamonds of her engagement ring, held in
| place upon her finger rs for many years in
| life, by the plain gold wedding ring.
| Wreaths and crosses of tea-roses and 9th
err flowers rare, beautiful and fragrant
were artistically disposed in great profu-
| sion. The casket was borne in the hands OF
| six stout, handsomely dressed colored
men, all wearing white gloves, and was
followed by bearers, and those again by
relatives and friends in designated order.
At tho grave the casket was
placed in box also encased with
zinc, and both Theoretically sealed
Directions for all these arrangements and
formalties had beeu deliberately given by
the deceased, who had all instructions re
garding the funeral and the burial carefully
and deliberately written out before hel
death. The velvet of which her dress wa
composed and the same with which tn
casket was covered she purchased herself
for just this purpose, several years ago
and kept it sacredly laid aside for such us
only. AS many as sixteen years ago sh
had a sum of money, in gold, laid by t
defray the expenses of her funeral when
ever her death should occur. The natur
of her disease, which was of long standing
was such as to render the tenure of he
life very uncertain, and by preparation

native of Saratoga county, as was also HI

New YORK, April IL.
st. Johns, N. F., special contains the
following: Since her return from the expe-
dtion in Baffin Bay in search of the Po-
laris, the Tigress has been considered as
sort OF marine prodigy, an object OF rever
ence to the fishermen hercab0uts owing to
her marvellous escape from icebergs and
hurricanes she then encountered on the
northwest coast of Greenland After the
Poaris matter had been disposed of she
was fitted out for seal fishing trip and
was returning south at the time with her
catch when the terrible explosion al
ready reported deprived her of al steam
facilities. Captain Bartlett, Of the whal-
ing steamer Panther, who brought the
news, makes the following statement On
Friday, the Sd inst, the Panther was in
long, 81 deg. Is min. west, and lat. 80 deg
% min. north on her return to St. Johns.
The lookout reported steamer apparently
moving under sail. AS we approached her
it was dscov cred that she had her flags at
half-mast. Subsequently,, and after signal
ing her, | ordered Il boat to be lowered,
and went on board myself when discov-
cred her 10 be the steamer Tigress, of Po-
laris fame. Her captain and chief officers
were on deck when | got aboard. | was
then informed that on Thursday April
Cd, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the
vessel was shaken all over BY the terrific
explosion of the boiler, which crea-
ted great terror and confusion as the
escaped steam completely developed every
compartment below In consequence all
the steam facilities had been destroyed and
they had been under sail against head
wind for twcnty-four hours. When
reached the deck of the Tigress observed
that number of men were engaged on
carpenters work, making up and mailing
together number of rough pine wood
boxes. | asked the commander what they
were for and he said that they were de
signed for receiving the bodies of the un
fortunate men who had been killed by the
explosion "On the day of the explosion,
said the captain of the Tigress to me, "tht
weather was dreadfully cold, with stiff
breeze blowing and heavy swell on. A
number of men had gone below, after thu
watch, and had turned in on top of thu
boiler for the sake of warmth. NineteeI
of the crew were reposing IN this way
when the crash occurred, and some o
them were literally scalded beyond recog
milton. The CONSERVATION was fearful

time and both were killed" Capt. Bartlett

of the Sd inst, making for land under sal

Immediately on our arrival. did no
ascertain the names of the men, as all tn

grief and could give but few particulars.
Since then the Tigress is reported arrive

On Saturday evening the original Black
Crook company gave an entertainment at
the Opera House to a very large audience
which filed the house from pit to dome.
The entertainment consisted of the original
burlesque Of "Blacll Crook" as played
years ago in the larger cities, the acts in
terspersed with performances of a very
good ballet, Il company of acrobats and
tumbers, several performing dogs, and
some very good songs and dances by Man
chester and Jennings and the young Dutch
comedian Bonnie Runnels. The perform
ance of its kind was perhaps one of the
best ever given in Vermont. The scenery
and costumes was well adapted to the play
while some of the actors and actresses
showed considerable skill and experience
upon the stage. Taking into consideration
the limits Of the stage the play was credit
abby given and gave general satisfaction.
Mr.. Vernon, who played the role of the
sorccrer, demonstrated consummate ability
as did also Miss Fannie Burt as Stalacta,
Win flis ilDNtlt, lLtiISliSuC, 4li d.
Langrishe and Mr.. r. II. Burns and others
in their respective parts.
Master Bonnie Runnels made decided
hit in the Dutch character and was re-
peatedly encored. Messrs. Manchester and
Jennings were especially happy as the
"Irish Emigrants" and brought down the
house. Mile jeanette Proschcr the pre-
mer danseuse, made n han lsomc appear
ancc and danced with much ease and
grace.
The orchestra is one OF the best we have
seen i'll travelling company, being COM
posed of Germans, under the direction of
Mr. Christrup, and played with perfect
time and tune. Those who wish to secure
admission this evening should procure seats
early at Meekel's.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER Az
WHITEHALL.
Is lt n Hoax.

A few days since the GLOBE gave an ac-
count OF the voluntary surrender of man
to the authorities at Whitehall, and vol.
untary confession of tho crime Of murder,
committed while engaged in an alteration,
and that the body was thrown by him off
q bridge into,the water, which appeared true
from the fact that blood was found on the
bridge which he mentioned. The White
hall Times says of the affair: We visited
the lookup in company with an officer,
and found man who gave his name as
Simon Dwyer, IN one of the cells. He in.
formed us that he in company with two
men named Frank Daily and John Scully
had come to this place the previous day.
He said that he had been at work on sec
ton six of the New York and Canada rail-
road When he arrived at this place he
mbibed considerable liquor and said he did
not know how he got into the lookup, nor
where he had been. We asked him If he
had killed any man, as stated, aud he in
formed us that he had not. Dryer was
cut up about the face and head, aud had ev-
identity been badly dealt with by some one.
The prisoner is man nearly six feet tall,
and no doubt was laboring under an attack
of delirium tremens, as his actions were
strange and his statements contradictory.
The blood marks seen on the bridge rail
are easily accounted for, as Dwyer had no
doubt caused them himself from his wounds
The creek was dragged, and If any dead
body had been thrown in, it would have re-
NAMED in the spot or near by where it was
reported to have been cast over.
