THE OBsTRUcTING CORPSE REMOVED
TO KENTUCKY.-Our readers will recOl.
lect that some weeks ago the fact was
published that Mr.. Hoard. of Ceredo, w.
Va, had procured corpse and opened a
grave yard Just across the route of the
western extension of the Chesapeake &
Ohio R. R., near CeredO. SO as to force the
company to take another rout, the law OF
West Virginia prohibiting a railroad run
ming through grave yard. Mr.. Hoard
paid $50 for the corpse with which to open
the burying ground. Last week, at Hunt
ington, son of the deceased, who lived in
Kentucky, heard that the remains of his
mother had been removed from Wayne q.
H., to Mr.. Hoard's grave yard. went to the
spot, had them disinterred and carried
them to his home in Kentucky. The re-
moval was discovered from the fact that
in transporting the remains it became
noised around that it was the body OF a
man who had been drowned and which
was being carried off for medical purposes,
and the report caused some excitement
until the true facts were known.

with a pompoon for privates and .
white plume, crimson tipped, tor officers. "
The list as it will be observed, includes
some of our Oldest and best citizens, many
now holding prominent positions requir-
ing great sedateness of manner and the idea
is irresistably comic that these old GENTLE

in abel crowned helmet" with red feath-
er and yellow stripe meandering down
their brooches legs. dressed nervonsly on
the man on the right.
An old member of the corps says the
guns were of the most gigantic description
something less thar hundred yards long,
and the greatest difficulty was experienced
by the members in getting this enormous
engine of war to stand up straight. He
has known as many as thirteen gallant
rlflemen swept down by weak member in
a vain attempt to shoulder arms. Tho
commanding officer was Capt. Robert S.
Brook. who was graduate of West Point.

Hendren; I'd Lt.N.K Trout; Junior I'd 1t.
Vincent Geiger; Sd 1t. Arch. s. Kinney,

A BRAKEMAN THROWN FoHTY FFET.-
Wednesday morning about o'clock, az
the through freight from the West ap-
preached Goshen, Mr.. j. r. Lane, brake
man, and son of the section master at At
ton, was thrown 40 feet from q car upon
the ground and badly bruised about the
head and back. The accident resulted
from the slirping of the wheel of an inse-
curely fastened brake and was similar to
that which caused the death of Mr.. Tur-
ner. two weeks ago. It would in all
probability have resulted fatally but
that the train was slowing up at the time
and the man was upon low Jimmy

tentive congregation. The attendance
was large during the entire meeting, and
livery deep interest was displayed by Chris
