Edgar A. Poe's Bones.
Cincinnati Gazette.

A st. Louis gentleman, known as .
a writer, has just returned from Balti-
more, bringing with him the stone which
marked the grave of Edgar A. Poe be,
fore the remains Of the p5et were remov-
ed to their present resting-place beneath
a monument, and also part OF the COT
fin containing them. The relics were oh
tanned from the sexton who had charge
of the removal OF the body, and curl
ous interview was had with him. The
sexton was asked what was the condition
of Poe's body when the grave was open
ed-what it looked like The answer
revealed a curious fact not heretofore
made public. The sexton said that all
that remained Of the body was mere
skeleton, tolerably well preserved, and, !
he added, "when the head was moved
the brain ratified around inside just like
lump of dirt" His idea was that the
brain of Poe had dried into bal, which
rolled about in the cavity. The stone
brought to St, Louis is small sandstone
slab, with number on it to designate
the occupant of the grave, and stood
over Poe's coffin for years The wood
Of the coffin Is, Of course, somewhat de-
caved. 1t has been suggested that tht
relics would form q desirable addition te
the collection of the St Louis Mercantile
Library, and it is possible that they may
be donated to that institution. e

THE DEATH OF GEN. RENO.
A Remarkable Story--Reno Said to
Have Been Deliberately Shot
by q Member Of. Col. X. ~.
b. Hayes Regiment.

Special Dispatch to the New York Times.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The Sunday
Herald prints to-day the following &C.
count of. the death of Major General
Reno, which it vouehes for as coming
from trustworthy source:
s.The night before the memorable bat
tie of South Mountain, the Twenty
third Ohio Volunteers, Col. R B. Hayes
were encamped in field in which there
were a number q wheat stacks. The
men were tired, and utilized the wheat
in making their beds, to the destruction,
necessarily, of the wheat. Gen. Reno,
passing that way in his rounds, discov
cred what they had done, and up5rai6ed
them in no measured terms for their con
duct in destroying private property using
language that ii would now be idle to re-
peat; and it was while he was thus en-
gagged that Colonel, who is now Pfesi-
dent Of the United States, came up. at.
tracted by the loud tones, and announc
ing himself as the Colonel Of the regi
ment, demanded what was the meaning
of the language used. Gen Reno, 10
terms more forcible than polite, -
and his regiment, and declared
that he held him responsible for the con-
duct of his men. The next day, when
the line was advancing on the enemy,
Gen. Reno passed through the Twenty.
third Ohio on his way to the front. Only
light skirmishing was going on at the
time. The General had just left the flank
of the regiment, when one of the men OF
the Twenty third Ohio fred and killed
him. At the time he was shot he was at
least three quarters Of mile from the
enemy's line. Col. Skiles, who was at
the battle Of South Mountain as Captain
in the Twenty. third Ohio Volunteers,
and was sfterward Major Of the Eighty.
eighth Ohio, and at present is trading at
Fort Clark, Texas, tells the above re.
story, which comes from an
officer Of the army, to whom Skiles rela
