THE BODIES FXHUMED.

On Friday last, the bodies of the
prisoners father, mother and wife,
were disintered for medical examina-
ton, and in each case the presence of
poison is said to have been detected.
The stomachs were taken out and
sealded for chemical analysis, and it
was also said that the body of his sister
and his child, which are inferred in
Riehland county, will be exhumed for
examination. The result will be
awaited with anxiety, although no
doubt remains in the public mind in
regard to the prisoners guilt.

How Easily Some Men ara Insultsd.

-
Since we have taken charge Of
this paper We have marked an K on
come of our papers. showing that
the receivers time was out. We
did this in order to come in contact
with our subscribers, and find ont
whether we had any dead-beats or
not. We ask you il you would do
diheront if you had y large list Of
subscribers you never sawH Would
tyou not want to know something
about some of them? Now we have
taken this way of getting line from
them or in some way letting U.s.
know that they receive their paper.
all right, &C.; and yet we had Q.
friend come in last week and with .
lghostiy frown said hs was insulteds
&c. Now, we have nothing to say
Iabout him or his insulted feelings,
Iall we say is that we do mot
msan to hurt the feelings OF the
most sensitive. We want to fnd
out who you are; and if you get
iyour paper all right. Can you
blame us for this? We do not mean
to crowd g man for money for we
know it 10 tight times now. We
trust yol will not be offended at our
action but will consider, how you
would act if placed in the Same Cir
cumstances?

beats on our books, 80 we hope oil
of this class will get insulted.

Stock Sale Day.

On the first SatHrdayef each month
there is more business done in this
city than on all the remaining Satur-
days of the same month"; If man :
don't come to Mexico but once a.
month, he will come then. If he has 81:
anything to sell orwants to purchase
anything, he will wait till stock sale
day If man has any fine stock or
stock of any kiud, he will bring it to-
town on that day, The consequence
lie, we have men, women and children
from all parts of this and adjoining
counties in Mexico on that day.
| This enterprise is of paramount
importance to this city, as is appa-
rent to all onr merchants. It brings
men to this city who would never
come here at all except to buy stock
sold on that day. While here, tb,Ar
purchase goods and see that we aaye
a good line of goods and sell lsem as
low prices. The consequences 10 that
our merchants drive good trade
with persons living in neighboring
counties.
l{fNow, we have but one fault to find
: connected with day of days in the
f city of Mexico.s On the nrst Satur-
day of this month, as we stood On
. the colonade at the Ringo House.
/, looking down on the swaying crow
3 of people, and heard the voices of
l four auctioneers in stentorion tone
crying simultaneously, we thought
a that the principal corner of the
D square was not a fit place for the
t traffic. 1t was impossible for one
l Marshal to keep the sidewalk open
/ for ladies to pass. He tried to do his
3 best but he could not be found i'm
!. three or four places at the same time,
: and the crowd was so pressed togetla-
: er that man (much less u womau)
!, could hardly pass through.
e. Standing on the corner you could
/, see as molly a crowd as is often seen
in any city. We do not refer so much
to the appearance of the people-for
> few counties can boast of more in
Q tellectual and neater-looking set of
, farmers than Audrain-but farmers.
lawyers, doctors, merchants. stock
5 men and private citizens were not
b. what we refer to. IA, -
FL The only fault that could be found
is in that they turn the, principaS
business corner of our city into q
/ stock yard. You can see horses,
mules, cows, calves, wagons, stoves,
men, women, dogs and dead-beats.
all mingling together, and at the
, same time carriages, drays and horse
men are expected to pass through the
streets.
4 Now it appearsto us that we should
| have vacant lot set apart in some
Iportlon of the city off from the pub
ie square where business of this kind
could be transacted and where stock
men could meet each other and carry
on their business without annoying
others not taking part in the sales.
| We merely offer this as a suggestions.
it appears 10 us as though the public
| square was not exactly the place Tor
business OF this kind. Perhaps we
are wrong, hut think not.
