One would think from the tightly
closed houses In different parts of the
city that the owners were either abroad
or afraid the sun would spoil their COM
plexions. carpets Or furniture. Let in
the sunshine, if you would keep out
"the pe~stilence that walketh in dark
ness and the destruction that wasteth
at noon day." No difference if the sun
does fade your carpets, or the pestife-
rous flies annoy and vex you; better
that than to sacrifice your health.

INDIAN SITUATION At Fl. suLLY
The Sayages Don't Want 70 be Dis
armed.

The order TO disarm the Sioux near
Fort Suily has been met with open dis
affection among the sayages in that To-
eality. Bull Eagle has threatened TO
kill the whole garrison, and the agency
has been placed under arms, with artil-
cry properly posted SO as to sweep the
adjacent hills. -Four hundred Brules
left for the hostile camp lately and were
joined by a greater portion of the Chey-
ennes belonging to this agency. 1t is
reported by scouts that the hostile
Sioux are within ninety miles of Sully,
and that they are powerful enough to
clean out the northwest, if so
disposed. Gen. Buell. does not
consider the scare sufficient to mention
it officially, but he has prepared for any
emergency.
The reports vary in regard to the
number and strength of the hostile
Sioux in the vicinity of Fort Sully. A
half-breed, who claims TO have visited
their camp, says Sitting Bull himself is
in command, and his force is being aug
mented by Indians from the different
agencies who prefer to join the hostiles
and keep their arms and ponies, rather
than give them up and remain in peace
at the agencies.

Dropping in, yesterday, at the City
Hall, in search of an item or two, we
were accosted, soon after our entrance,
by an elderly, but rather buxom little
woman, who inquired of us if we did
not want a wife, and, without giving
us time to get our breath or our ideas
collected, SO as to frame a reply, pro-
ceeded to inform us that she was no
longer Mrs. -, and that if we would
consent she would marry us, furnishing
board, clothing and spending money,
and allow us to beat her all we wished
for the next twelve years. We at last
succeeded, with no little fear and con-
siderable trembling, in suffering out
the reply that we were married several
years ago, and that there was still liv-
ing a little woman with several children
that we know of, who might enter a
protest in the matter. With this, we
backed out of the door and took up our
position on a store box until we noticed
the sweet, little old lady pass down the
street.

THE SCHOOL OF ANATOMY AT
RAWLINS.
Discovery Of a HsifDissected Corpse in
Rayine.


The Laramie Chronicle has the fol-
owing special from Rawlins:
RAwLINs, Sept. p, 1876.
Great excitement was created to-day
by the discovery of a human body by
two school children while at play near
this place. The discovery was made
known to the coroner, James Lang,
about 5 O'Clock p. m, who Immediately
repaired to the scene and ordered a
disinterment of the body, which was
accordingly done, and the following is
the result: H.4r
The body proved to be that of a fe-
male about thirty years of age, which
had evidently been deposited without
shroud or coffin, in a ravine on the
wide and great expanse Of these plains.
The left leg and right arm had both
been sawed off, while the breast and
upper portion of the body had been cut
and frightfully lacerated. The front
teeth were somewhat decayed, while
the nose shows signs of some venereal
disease or hereditary ailment. Near
by the corpse was found a barrel painted
with Rawlins paint, fallen to pieces.
and under the rubbish was found a slip
of paper with these letters: DIR. j. G.
Howe, Rawlins, Wyo. The discovery
Of this led us to further investigation.
We found that a pauper had given birth
to a child in one of the hospitals Of
Michigan, after which she died, and
her body wa brought to Rawlins by
DR.. Stephens and DR.. Howe. The body
was then dissected and cast forth to be
devoured by wolves and ravenous
beasts. A man by the name of Belamy
took the body and buried it.
So great has been the excitement to-
night that the parties interested have
caused the construction of a coffin, the
bones of the poor and unfortunate wo-
man to be placed therein and a decent
interment of the same to be made.
An Investigation has been instituted
by some Of the good people of this
county, and the mystery will be solved
if it is possible to do so.
