Searching a Coffin Tor Evidence.

Some excitement was created yester-
day in the neighborhood of Bedford by
the exhumation of the body of the Rev.
John F. Dawson of Woodlands, who
was buried in 1870 in the churchyard of
the village of Chaplain. Mr.. Dawson,
who inherited the estate of Woodlands
from his father, who had bought twas
twice married, and though he had a
SON by his first marriage, he bequeath-
ed the estate to his son by his second
wife. 1t is believed, however, by his
eldest son that the estate was entailed
by the will of his grandfather, which
could not be found and as information
reached him that documents had been
buried with his father, application was
made for the elimination of the body to
the Home Secretary, and the requisite
sanction having been obtained, the ex-
humation was commenced at a. NJ on
Tuesday and completed at 8 a. m,
when the coffin was opened in the pres
ence of the legal and medical gentle
men concerned. A diligent search be-
tween the inner shell and the outer oak
coffin proved in vain; but on lifting the
body, which was in wonderful state of
preservation, bundle of what appear
ed to be letters, tied round with red
tape, was discovered. These documents
were taken away, with the necessary
legal formalities, and the body was
then returned.-PaH Mall (Londo7s)

A Little Centennial Romance.

1t is privately announced that a we'd
ding will take place this winter which
will be the fitting sequel of romance
of two cities-this time in real life.
The parties are Mr.. Ben H and Miss
Sadie T, both residents of the Muir
ray-Hill section; and the romance of
the affair consists in their novel intro
duction. Miss T went to Philadel-
phia about two weeks ago, with party
of young friends, to visit the Centen-
NAL; and, as she wished to stay little
longer than the rest, it was arranged,
or thought to be arranged, that her
brother-in-law was to meet her at the
depot in Philadelphia, and escort her to
New York. BY some mischance, he
meant the Pennsylvania Depot, at the
grounds, while she meant the North
Pennsylvania Depot, down town, near
her clearinghouse. 1t was evening,
and, as she started for the depot, she
missed her pocket-book; but, as it only
contained few dollars, she did not
mind the loss, and hurried forward to
the depot, in time for the 7:15 train
from Philadelphia. She failed to meet
her relative, and was more disconsolate
than ever. AS time wore on she began
to realize that she was in a strange city
without cent of money. just at the
crisis of her despair, she CHANGED to see
q gentleman whom she had often seen
on the street near her own home, but
whose name was unknown. Embold-
ened by despair, she spoke to him, and
explained the situation. He offered as
sistance, and as he was en- route to this
city his escort was accepted. The ac-
quaintance thus commenced 1ipened
into something stronger than friend
ship, and, as they walked home from
church last Sunday, an intimate friend
of the lady told the story as above, and
added that the wedding would be bril-
liant one.-Neeo York Cor. Chicago Trf-

&c Silver Threads Among the Cold" re-
Spouse by S. II. Blame; song, entitled
Ye Red-haired Gentlemen of Ye Olden
Time" by James Hamilton. After a
short speech by DIR. Myers, to soothe
the hearts of the dark-haired ladies and
gentlemen, that all might go home in
peace with each other, the Harris
Guards, a fine military company of this
place, came out in full-dress uniform,
and, after several evolutions, were in
spected by Captain Irwin, of Spring
field, Inspector-General, and the picnic
closed with a grand ball in the evening.
The whole affair will long be remem-
bered as one of the golden days of the
Centennial year by all in attendance.

The Chief of Police answered II have

what shall do with them? Do you want

AT the railroad mass meeting last Thursday
night, the following named gentlemen.
Messrs. Lafayette Folger, John I. Adams,
John 7. Hardie, Richard Yale, G. E. Girardey,
P. Maspero, E. A. Palfrey. Sam. Boyd, were
appointed committee to devise the best plan
for thorough canvass of the city, and TO
solicit subscriptions to aid the important en-
terprise, in which our city is deeply inter-
ested, and which is now being carried forward
with SO much energy and perseverance by the
the New Orleans Pacific Railroad Company.
The committee will have a meeting ON
Monday night at the Office of Col. G. E.
Glrardey, and will no doubt decide at that
meeting ON plan, and it is probable that tho
canvass will begin early next week.
The great benefits which this city will
derive from being placed in connection with
Texas have been time and again recited, and
are, we believe. understood and appreciated
by every one interested in the commercial
prosperity of New Orleans.
At no time before have the prospects Of our
city having a road to Texas been anything
like as encouraging as they now are.
The gentlemen at the head of the New Or
leans Pacific Railroad Company company
composed entirely of our own citizens-ara
live active business men, and they have from
the start worked with that untiring zeal and
energy which always insures success, and
they have been encouraged by large subscrip-
tons and the hearty manifestation of apprs-
citation of their efforts by the entire people Of
the State. But the subscriptions, though
large enough to be encouraging, are by NO
means large enough to build the road, and ex-
pressions of approval and Endorsement when
unaccompanied by money are of no value.
We urge upon our people to subscribe to
the enterprise to the full extent their means
will allow, and that they meet the committee
with that spirit of iberality which the i'm
portance of their mission demands

Notwithstanding very accessible officers of
the New Orleans Pacific Railroad-discourage
others by expressions of doubts and sugges-
tons of difficulties entirely imaginary, as if
they feared our city might yet, and speedily,
regain the high position, commercially, her
rivals once fondly hoped she bad thoughtless-
ly and permanently consented to abdicate.
This hallucination, our fellow-citizens, q
little late, to be sure, are now fast dispelling,
and in the work already done, in the awakened
enterprise apparent in the outpouring at st.
Pa.rick's Hall, the opponents of our progress
will find warnings, neither their hopes nor
wishes, interests or expectations, will permit
them to disregard.
