Pauoers Believe the Interment Of Cornet-
It's Pemairs Has Brought Curse
on the Buying Grounds

New YORK, June An extraordinary
story comes from Westchester county, and
obtains general credence among the people
of the district where ii has originated.
over a year ago a strange animal, which
has been the subject OF many blogd'curd-
ling stories, took up its abode upon tn >
craggy hillside overlooking the WestChes-
Ter county poor house and the pauper's
0urviug ground. which latter is located at
the foot of Butternut hill. The cries Of
this animal. which is generally supposed
to be panther escaped from some travel
ing menageriP. have from time to time
been plainly heard along the hillside and
through the rayineS. Sevtra! weeks since
the remains OF COrnetti
The Italian Murderer,
who was hung AZ White Plains, were buried
in 2 remote portion oil the paupers ground
since that time the plaintiye wall of this
animal has been heard in close proximity
m the location of the grave. There are
number OF aged paupers who spend their
idle hours in the dOOryard of the aims
house. and most of them believe that Inc
graves OF their late companions are
haunted by night by this animal, ana
their fears of de ath and subsequent burial
that the burial nt COrnetti here has brought
an additional curse 10 their little burial
ground. Within a week after Cornetti was
buried

moved by human ghoulS for medical pur'
poses, but the Evid features OF the late
iiend were found in an advanced state OF
decomposition the grave was again hIlea
in, and tine mound replaced. The cries of
The supposed animal still continue TO
haunt the place at late hours of night, aud
distinct footprints similar to bat larger
than those of q cat, can be seen on the
freshly upturned earth. The mystery still
remains UnSelved.

GENERAL NOTES.
Mace and Slade,

After appearing in several OF the large
provincial towns, Jim Mace and IL. A.
SaGe made their initial bow before a
London, Eng, audience, at the Elephant
and Castle Theatre, on the evening OF Mon
day, Nav 2l. The Sporting Life thus briefly
notices the set.to: "They INDUCED in
three light, playful rounds, each lasting
about minute, with aboutthree minutes
interval between them. No idea could be
the display, and il appeared as il Mace,
had he forced exchanges, could have
smotbered his prOtege." Mace had given
il as his opinion that Slade was the
Coming champion Of the world, but no
one of the numerous boxing celebrities
