Important Arrest.

During the past two years the l., G. & L.
Railroad Company have been continually
receiving complaints from merchants that
goods shipped over their road had been
tampered with. Several suits have been
brought against the shippers on account of
shrinkage. Attempts have often been made
to investigate the matter.
To-day Detectives Kushman and Amph-
thauer, who had been working up the case,
succeeded in solving the problem which
had so long remained mystery. The per-
son who is now charged with being the
cause of all this trouble is Jas. Martin the
night watchman at the l., G. & L. Freight
Depot.
In his room, No. 166 Avery street, and at
his boarding-house, No. SAT West Fifth
street, were found several hundred dollars
worth of goods of all descriptions, great
part of Which have already been identified
by the agents of the road. Martin is at
Ninth-street Station.

to genius. From the first appearance of

spectacle audience. Her youth and beauty
and her genius all spoke together in her fa-

lovely Juliet is warm and real. She is the
very incarnation of the charming creature

faults, but they are so far outweighed by
her many excellencies that they are not
treasured in the mind against her. Miss
Anna Boyle is not the best outlet" but if
she does not become so. she will belle every
promise of her budding genius.

Political JackaI.

When a candidate for States Senator, the political
opponents Of DR.. r. V. Pierce, in their efforts to
overcome his great popularity, and being unable
to extract "smut" from the doctors unsullied
record, arranged with the party Jackals to drag
the doctors celebrated Family Medicines into the
canvass, and published pretended analyses of the
same. SO absurd were the formulas given, and
base the charges made that the editorof the Com
mercial Advertiser after careful investigation,
says: 81 asked a distinguished dispensing drug
gist to explain the secret of the almost universal
demand for DR.. Pierces Medicines. He said they
are in fact genuine medinces, such rs every good
physician would prescribe for the diseases which
they are advertised to cure" Such Endorsements
together with the doctors election by an unprec-
edented and overwhelming majority, and his en-
vable record since made an active, wise, and sa-
gacious legislator has been just rebuke to his
petty traduceTs

A PAIR or HUMAN PETRIFACTIONs.- -
A correspondent writing from Danbury,
Conn, says that on Dec. 30, 1851, Mr..
Abraham o. Banks, residing in that town,
died at the age of 70 years, and was bur-
led in the Baptist Cemetery. On June 5,
1857, his wife died, aged 72 years, and
was buried beside her husband. Seven
years later the relatives had occasion to
remove the bodies for interment in anoth-
er cemetery. On digging into the graves
much difficulty was experienced in NOV.
ing the collins. Finally, with the aid of
six additional men, the caskets were taken
out, and on being opened it was found
that both bodies were petritied, with the
exception of the heads, which had crum-
blcd away. The body of the woman,
which weighed nearly 200 pounds ut the
time of her death, was SO large that por-
tions of it projected over the edge of the
coffin, and had to be compressed when
the lid was screwed down. When OK.
humed this body was as hard as granite,
but that Of the man was not so com
pletely petritied, one Of his arms crumb-
ling away on being touched. Both were
of IL bright yellowish color, but grew dark
when exposed to the air. The above facts
are corroboratcd by u leading physician
of Danbury, who is grandson of Mr..
Banks. The bodies are now Inferred in
the Wooster Cemetery.
