Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the account
given 10 these columns of the robbing of
the grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison, in
Ohio, last May, the body being found in
the dissecting~room of the Ohio Medical
College. Public indignation justly brands
any man as a scoundrel who will rob the
grave of the dead. But there are two
noted grave robbers in the country, so far
from being the subjects of the people
wrath, are universally lauded for their
virtues, The reason is plain. While the
former class steal the dead bodies of our
loved ones to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore
the living victims to our hearts and homes.

Martin Nancy was brought here to Jail
to-day from Illinois City in default Of So |
600 bail, on a charge Of assault with intent
to kill Peter Hahn Of that place.
The only account we have Of the affair
is that given by the constable who brought
Nancy to the Jail He says that il is a.
case Of jealousy. Nancy came to Illinois
City some time ago, stranger. In q
short time he!became acquainted with and
married a respectable young lady of the
place. Not having sufficient money to
furnish a. house he and his wife arranged
to occupy a house with man who was
living alone, sMrs. Nancy to do the work
and both share equal in the table expense.
Matters went smoothly for short time
but Nancy soon became jealous of the
man in whose house they were living,
charging his wife with criminal intimacy
with him, and not only with him but every
man who came near the house. At one
time beating and choking his wife
and making her say that q certain
young man had been criminally intimate
with her, which she did on Maney's prom
Use to stop beating her, but which she says
is untrue, and that Nancy knew at the
time it was false, as the man in ques-
ton had not been within 20 miles of them
for several weeks. After keeping this kind
of thing up for several months Nancy left
and was away nearly three weeks. On last
Wednesday morning he returned to Illinois
City, armed with shotgun, went to q
house where he supposed his wife TO be
and discharged shot through bedroom
window, striking the bed between the
heads of the man and wife, and barely
missing them. He then went to the house
Of Peter Hahn and broke in their window
Bith club. Hahn ran out to call assist
ance, and during his absence Nancy went
in and attacked Mrs. Hahn with knife.
She had young child in one arm, but with
| the other she grasred her husbands gun
and clubbing Nancy oyer the head, sue
ceeded in keeping him at bay until her
husbands return. When Hahn came,
Nancy turned his attention to him and
succeeded in stabbing him in the abdomen,
when assistance arrived and the demon
was disarmed and secured. A physician
was instantly summoned, and did all that
was possible for Hahn, but pronounced his
chances for life very small The knife must
have entered the abdomen fully three
inches and inflammation is certain to fol-
ow, after which he can live but a short
fine

Minister of Public Instruction, there are
twenty one public libraries in Paris, open

volums: the Louvre has 100000: Maza-
rine, 10000; Sainte Genevieve,. 10000,
and Sorbonne $4,000. Hospitals and
similar institutions have lately begun ac-
cumulating libraries for the use of the in
mates, bringing the total number of books

"A paragraph which, for several days,
held undisputed possession of the Paris
press, described M. Gambetta as taking
constitutional exercise, stripped to bis
shirt. by playing skittles with the Cure of
Troistorrents. That the great Demo-
cratic leader thereby showed conciliatory
spirit toward the clergy was represented
on the one hand. while several papers
praised the Cure for fraternizing with an
eminent citizen. But the cure of Troistor-
rents, in an angry letter to the press. de-
clared the whole story fable, and says
that, DOT only did he not see NJ, Gambetta,
but that. knowing his hatred to the Church
he would not see him should he come q
