When Jumbo first came to this country many people sneered nt the enthusiastic reception extended him. In view of the enthusiasm displayed over some of the more recent imported aUracUons, we are of the belief that Jumbo should have been even more highly honored than be was. The sewing machine agent who was stabbed in the neck while engaged in a fracas at Lancaster, with two young men, sons of a prominent physician of that village, is said to have received a less severe wound than was at first supposed, and at last accounts had recovered consciousness and was in a fair way of recovery.

Yesterday Dr. llansom Dexter, who attended Mrs, McConaughy during her illness, accompanied by Capt. Turtle, called at the college and asked to examine any "sub-, jccts" that might be on hand. They were politely accorded the privilege by tbe Professors, and, as anticipated, the body of young Mis.

McConaughy was found and identiled, It was the only "jjubject" (there, but was in a perfect state of preservation. The college faculty promptly agreed to make all the reparation possible in the affair, and expressed regret that it had occurred. -The body, they said, was purchased for January 2nd from parties unkown to them, but who gave the assurance that they had a perfect right to it. The faculty said further that if was the first subject the college had, received In about live weeks, it being hoped that the county commisioners would recoosider their stand on the question of pauper dead. KJtTUKNKD TO THEIR KESTINO PLACE.

The remains of Mrs. were shipped backed to Kochelle last night, having first been properly shrouded and provided with handsome casket. The husband and Mr. Craft also returned to Rochelle. Apparently the desecration of the grave'occurred early in the evening of New Year's Day.

it is a curious fact that Shinkle came to Chicago the day following in the same car with the husband of the dead Me- Conaughyhavingbusiuess which called him to this city. Capt. Turtle received a dispatch from Rochelle last night saying that the excitement there over the outrage was intense. There were threats of "lynching. The student prisoners, though, were safe hi the Sycamore jail.

The week of prayer is being observed in several of the Lena churches. There has been considerable interest manifested to-day in a law suit before Squire Gunsaul, about a horse trade; the parties are from Kent township; so far as we are able to learn.the facts are as follows: Early in September, J.

Now, however, he is in a cell, charged with desecrating the grave of his one-time sweetheart, and selling her remains for a few paltry dollars, which were shared with hjs alleged confederates.

Strange contrast! A BROKEN AND EMPTY COFFIN. A few weeks ago Mr. McConuugby and his wife left ttielr home in Nebraska, to visit the old folks in Rochelle. While there the young wife became a mother, but her life went out with that of the old year, and New Year's day she was buried in the cemetery at Rochelle. The broken-hearted husband has made daily visits to the grave since the funeral, but it was not until Monday morning that the appearance of the newly-made mound excited his suspicion.

There were indications that the grave had been disturbed, and recollections of the Hoyt case and Shinkle'a alleged complicity in that affair flashed across his mind. He imparted these suspicions to his father-in- 1 iw, and the two began an investigation. They discovered that the tools of the graveyard sexton had 'been disturbed by some unknown hand after the funeral of Mrs. McConaughy, and that the grave had been reopened. The coffin was there, but it was broken and empty.

THE TKA1L AND THE DISCOVEHY. Monday afternoon Mr. Craft and his sori-in law visited Chicago, and placed the case in the hands of the Turtle Agency. The latter worked rapidly and effectively.

The Galena Gazette says: Xews of the death of Daniel H.

Burt, of East Dubuque, which occurred on Monday night last, at a hotel in Wenona, 111., will be received with deep regret by the older residents of Galena, who knew the deceased well, and entertained for him the greatest respect. Mr. Burt had been citizen of Jo Daviess county for twenty-eight years last past, and was well known iu many of the townships as a manufacturer of agricultural implements, and a practical, well informed possessing a high character for integrity and uprightness, His death was caused by a atroke ot apoplexy. The Dubuque Herald states that Mr. Burt had been spending a few days at the home of his daughter, Mrs.

Chas. Beck, at Chicago, and from there he went to Streator, 111., to visit his sister. He was ut the hotel at Wenona waiting for a train to convey him to East Dubuque, at which place he was expected yesterday morning; but, at the time he was to arrive home, the sad word came by telegraph that he had suddenly expired a the place above mentioned. The deceased was the father of Hon. C.

S. Bart, of at one time a member of the Illinois Assembly from this county, and Mrs. Roxina wife of Mr. Chas. Beck, assistant general superintendent of the Illinois Central railroad.

He wus born in Florida, Montgomery county, N. February and was consequently SO years of age at the tirno of his death. He moved to Canada- West iu April, 182(5, and from thence, in 1880, to the State of Michigan. In 1831 be married Miss Ashley, of Olertuont, N. who died 10, 1S04.

Elson, and visited here a few weeks ago: For beveral weeks a few ef the friends of Illinois College have been working to obtain the services 0f Lieut. H. Barnes, of the U. S. navy, as an instruc tor in that institution, are happy to announce to day that they have succeeded, as the following order received by Lieut.

Barnes in this morning's mail will testify: NAVV DEPARTMENT, BUKEAU OF NAVIGATION AND OKFICK OF DETAIL, WASHINGTON, Decembers, Lieutenant Nathan H. Banifs, U. S. Navv Jacksonville, yon will report to Mr, K. A.

laiiner, president of Illinois College at Jacksonville, 111., without delay for special duty in that institution. This employment ou shore duty is required by the public interests, and servicn will continue untilJanuary l.lBstf, unless It is otherwise ordered. By direction of the secretary. Kespectfully, J. G.

WALKKU, Chief ol Bureau. By the rules of the imyy, Mr. Barnes is entitled to three years' shore duty after having been three years at sea, and of this shore duty nearly a year has already been consumed. By law, the secretary of the navy may detail an officer for service in an institution of learning where he thinks the public interests require it, President Tanner made the application in due form, and it has been promptly complied will 1 and Lieut. Barnes will enter upon iiia duties as instructor in and mathematics at the beginning of Upcoming term.

This is an important acquisition, and cannot fail to benefit institution, not only because it wi 1 greatly relieve the faculty from a portion of their duties, but, as the new instructor is unusually well qualilied to teach the branches to which lie been assigned, it cannot fail to raise lhn standing of the college to yet higher grade. Lieut. Barnes is quite well known here, as his youth was passed in this city, and it is still his home. In addition to this, as the author of "Barnes 1 Notes," which appeared for several years in the Courier, liis name has become a household word wherever the paper has circulated. His ninny friends in this locality will be to hear sent writing the case is not ended; 1 O.

Heard, of Freeport, and C. J. Alexander appear for the plaintiff, and A. Hinds for the defense. Another case also attracted attention to-day; It appears that some time during the latter part of last July one N.

S. Upton, residing in the edge of Wisconsin, had a mule stray away from his premises. The mule was taken up Tiear-Winslow by J. Blair, who advertised it as an estray. A few days after Mr.

Upton came and claimed the animal, but was not willing, it appears, to pay the charge. A few nights after this the mule came up missing, and was found in possession of Mr. Upton. It appears that he was fastened in the barn with a chain, which was locked. Suspicion was directed toward a man who had been working for Upton.

The matter was placed in the hands of Detectives M. S. Murphy, of Warren, and Date Tyler, of Martiritown. The man Bock- taam had skipped. The detectives were on the watch for him however, and on Monday evening Murphy succeeded in spotting his man, and brought him to Lena.

On morning Upton was also brought to town by Tyler. After considerable negotiations the matter was compromised by Upton paying all the cost and expense that had accrued, including a ijeward that had been offered, amounting to some $200.
