ing this afternoon Judge TaIlmadge informed the attorneys for the con tests, Garfield and Beecher, that they must file in writing the exact degree of relationship claimed to exist be- tween their client and the deceased, l, Andrew Carroll T.
 The contestants are the children of the late Patrick Carroll, of Newtown, whom it is claimed was the second cousin of Andrew Carroll. To appear as children of Patrick Carroll would make them third cousins of Andrew Carroll and the law does not recog- nize relationship far moved.
 There is another contestant in the distance, who is a calm spectator at present He is Joseph Carroll, lab- orer for many years on one of the draw-bridges. His father Thomas, and the deceased Andrew, came from the same part of Ireland. Of course Joseph claims they are relatives for that reason.

 ROBBING THE CRAVE.
 We are credibly Informed that last night a most yiliianous robbery was perpetrated upon the grave of one who was buried in this city in 1886.
 The slab which rests upon four posts and covered the entire grave. was carried off by some miscreant in human form, so now that nothing re- mains to mark the last resting place of the deceased. This tombstone was erected to the memory of a faithful dog, Leo, who was shot in 1836 by mis- take, because he had the stomach ache. For nearly thirty years poor Leo had been undisturbed beneath the shade of a wide spreading tree on MT. Bostwtck's grounds, upon Golden Hill.
 We would advise the person who perpetrated this robbery to return the tombstone to it's former position with out delay If not we will not answer for the terrible future in store for him Mad dogs will bite him. Hydropho- bfa will seize him The ghosts of black dogs and white red ddgs and grey 1ong~tailed and short tailed dogs, pointers, setters hounds, CUTS. spaniels ratters, etc., will haunt him in his dreams. Ravenous dogs will tear open his grave and feed upon his putrid Iii h a stench in the nostrils of all dogdom forever and evermore.
 William, bring back that grave stone or prepare to go the dogs!

 We are assured that the Allied powers have expedited, to all the corps which were marching to France couriers with orders not to enter the French territory, in short. that no more troops will come than are here already and which pays 5000 francs per day for the subsistence of the Austrian officers and 5000 francs for the Prussian officers. who are more numerous In consequence of Lhis arrangement the indiv1d 1duals with whom they lodge arc not bound to subsist them.
 The construction of barracks for the Allied troops is nearly finish ed and 1t is hoped that within q. few days the inhabitants of Paris will have no more lodgings to provide for the military. What has been the un- equal division of it in several distr1cts arising from the want of attention or even the partiaIity of several persons employed in the mayora1 ties
