4 MYsIerK Cleared UD.

On yesterday, the remains of Conrad
Rolls child, which were supposed to have
been stolen from its grave ut Mt. Calvary
cemetery, were discovered by Sexton
Burke where they had been reinterred
by mistake. The mistake and discovery
occurred in this way: Mr.. Rolf having
recently bought family lot, desired to
have his chiid's remains eXhumed from
It's original grave, where it had been
buried some five years ago, and placed IN
the new lot. In digging tor the remains
the sexton discovered that they had
been already removed, and only the
rough or outer box remained. He CON-
municated this TO the relatives and hence
the story of robbing the grave. TIE
sexton, however, was not satisfied with
this theory, SO he made an exhaustive
search, which resulted IN finding the
missing body in grave that had been
prepared for another child, that the
parents thereof wanted changed to new
lot. The sexton in removing the corpse,
who by the way, WAS the predecessor of
Mr.. Burke, mistook the number OF the
lot aud exhumed the wrong child. The
style of casket in which the remains were
enclosed materially aided iii solving the
mystery, rs time and decay had so effect
ually executed their work that no traces
renamed by which they could be
recognized.

Coon Hunting.

A number OF the wicked youths OF
Wheeling who had not the tear OF the
Lord before their eyes, left Sunday even j..
ing Tor coon hunting expedition IN the
neighborhood of Elm Grove. About
dusk they departed from the haunts OF
civilization, aud sought the woodland in
quest of coons. Alter beating sround In
the forests Tor some time the bark OF the
dog III advance OF them was heard. All
rushed to the scene from whence the
sound OF joyful tidings came, at which
place they arrived after about quarter
Of a miles tramp. Surrounding the tree
ut the loot OF which the dog was baying
with great vociter ousness each member
Of the party cast his eye heavenward IN
search of game. Finally All object was
discovered lar up amid the branches
OF the monarch Of the forest,
and one OF the sports leveled
his shooting iron, drew a bead, and
bl2zed loose, bringing to The ground what
be supposed to be coon. The animal
was picked up and carried with
thu party until they returned to
Wheeling, at late hour of night, when
10, and behold. the discovery was made
that it was u Thomas kitten of immense
proportions. 4 iorlorn farmer, living
IN the vicinity OF where the animal was
killed by the "coon" hunters, was in town
Yesterday, making diligent inquiries as
to whom the parties were, threatening
dire vengeance on the murderers OF his
household net.

Lawrence Barrett.

There WAS an sudirncc ~ the Opcga
bOuae last night suCn rs has rol gtce-eI
a star IL this city for !Cug time. Iun
play WAS "Richelieu," with that gentle
MAJ and scholar. Lawrence Barrett, Il
the title role. Il 5 conception Of tle
cunning old man, the Due de RtchsL'e",
who so long welded such powerful
SWAY in France, IS no doubt superior 20
that of any actor who has ye! essayed
the part. From the time the curtain
rises III the second act, the one allah
sorbing character on the stage is RicheLtsu
Mr.. Barrett not only looks and ac., IS
RtcheLleu might have done, but speaks
as though it were the great Lord Carol
nal himself, in the privacy OF lis closter
where there were none TO hear his words
but those attending him. From his trst
appearance on the stage IN the second
act, the feeling Of interest increases, IN
I'll at length one imagines that RicheileH
himself stands before him; and especially
i. this so in the fourth act, where the king
commands the presence Of the Cardinals
ward, Julie de Mortimer, and brings
to the surface all the sCorn and whitening
contempt that is possible to be embodied
in the soul OF man, aid resorts %
the Chu ca TO save the VIRGIN
purity oi her whom ne loves dearer than
life iLsolt. Then it Is that one OF the
era ndest scenes ever enacted on any
stage, the "curse scene,' Inspires an audi
&c and indeEb!y impresses on their
minds the genius Of the actor. Miss
Ellen Cummns as Julie de Mortimer,
W. II. Power rs Adrla,t de MauDrat and
II. A Langdo1 IS Baradas, are also de-.
serving OF great praise, eacE o. whom age
artists OF no mean ability, ana well sup

A Precedent.

The decision OF the case of Goetz vs..
Stsmm and SchwertLteger is of more i'm
portsnCe than is generally supposed. and
involves the right OF secret orders to
eXpel member. 1t is claimed that
Goetz became member of the Indepep-
dent Order OF Odd Fellows through mis-
representation, being afflicted at tho time
ne became such member. This fact was
reported TO the order, and of course
Geetz was denied all benefits, otherwise
due him, and was expelled. Thereupon
he brought action against the parties who
reported him to the lodge, who were
members for libel, and the trial OF the
cause resulted in an acquttal, the jury
being unanimous for the defendants, and
returning verdict in about five minutes
after leaving the court room.

A gentleman who has Lately been
down in. the ThiId district, yesterday
showed us sample of ''crcoked gvD-
sang" which he brought home with him.
The Sang" diggers, after they have dried
the root, bore holes into it, into wkicL
they pour molten lead, il order 10
make it weigh. The roots thus doctorcd
are then put INTO the centre OF the saok,
and the chances are that the deception
will not be discovered for some time
after. The gentleman also states that IL
stances are known where large stones
have been carefully secreted in cakes Of
bee5wsx, and the unsuspecting purchaser
euchred to the extent of the weight
Of the stone. This Is carried Oh TO u
great extent, and dealers will consult
their pocket books interest by being on
the lookout.
