the coroner's physician being that he had
perished from strangulation, the wounds
on the head and and face not being NOR
tai. The affair in this feature somewhat
resembles the Hull murder in New York
by Chastine Cox. The verdict of the
coroner's jury was in accordance with
these facts, the opinion being that the
robbers did not intend to take life. The
clews for the police were the club and a
brand-new chisel wrapped in brown pa
per. Every hardware store on Market
street was visited, and finally August
Franzell, 1855 Market street, identified the
implement as one he had sold few DAYS
before, by his figures upon the brown
wrapper. Old Joseph Taggart and
George Handy Smith, the detective, kept
sharp eyes on all the pawn-offices and
smelters' shops for the stolen metals, but
Intellectually. The thieves were too osharp
to attempt to dispose of such a rare met
al as platinum, and probably threw it
away. The others were more negotiable.
Suspicion directed itself toward Hugh
Donnelly, a weli-knswn thief Itbecame
known that he and companion had
been around the, neighborhood OF Fifth
and Arch streets. Donnelly's pal disap-
peared and went to Baltimore two DAYS
after the robbery, and Donnelly shaved
Oft his own ,mustache for some reason.
The police suspected a reason and arrest
ed him. The hardware dealers at first
identified DonneIly,l but at the inquest
was not positive. So DonncllyIwas dis
charged. But to this day some Of the
old detectives believe he was one Of the.
men. The jury's verdict was that the
crime was done by unknown persons.
The Mayor offered $500 reward and DR..
White $1,000 more for the criminals, but
no further clew has ever been found. A
further communication from the. Eric
lawyer is awaited with interest. iga q

Almost every newspaper through the
length and breadth Of the land is more
or, less afflicted with those crude literary
performances called by courtesy poetry.
The value most editors place upon these
poctical effusions is thus expressed by
"Colcman Rural World ofSt Louis:-
"Sometimes we are tempted to say, that
we will not print another rhyming verse
in the Home circle. Every day we are
in receipt of poetic cffusions 1, from ckil-
dren of twelve years old to persons of fif-
ty years of age, aud if we do not honor
them with type, some of the writers take
great ofensc. We have great writer's OF
poetry whose verses would do credit to
any paper, but VIC have said again and
again, that to write poetry we'll requires
a thorough knowledge Of the rules Of ver-
sitication, as found in. our English gram
mars, our treatises on rhetoric etc., and
that those VINO are unacqualnted with
those rules must not expect to see their
effusions in our paper. Many pieces have
been published that were faulty, and many
have also been published that we're excel
lent. We consign to, the waste basket
to-day large bundle of faulty verses,
many of them containing good sentiments,
but the versification is too faulty for pub
lication." IL .gz, ~
