mat a woman named Mrs, Kesne, with many
allele, bed endeavored to force her way Into

matter It waa gleaned that aa the 1st day ot May
last Mra Keene applied to Mr, Morehead,the
rroprietor of the house, to be allowed the nae of
be front basement room, a request that waa
compiled with, on the written agreement that
Mrs Keene woull provide board for Mr. Moore
head and wife for tho price of tbe room.
Lverythlng went along pleasantly until there
was a failure on the part oi Mrs. Keene to fully
stand up to tbe agreement, when Mr. More head
spoke to her about It, and elated if better meals
were not furnished he would be obliged to vacate
tbe room. Mra. Keene claimed that It would be
necessary for blm to give ber thirty days notice
before she would leave, and Mr More bead told
her to take what he bad aald for the notice. Last
week she removed a portion of her furniture and

Mrs. Keene responded that the door below was

Ihe writer cioaeiy watched tbe tletng of the
thumba, and the operation of transferring the
Iron nogs upon and off the arms, and the passing
of tbe hands back and forth from one aide o?
the body to the other. This was aimply mar
vellous. The knot seemed to part aauoder, the
