On the night of Friday, the l7th inst, the gentle man occupying the adjoining room, heard, with oth- CTS, noise as of some person failing, and fancied sone persons were fencing with fos, and one had | fallen. The parties waited, expecting to hear a laugh, but from that moment most profound and deathke silence followed. Surprised at the "ircum- stance the gentleman knocked everal times Colts | door, but no answer was given.

 On the following morning a large box obsery- ed b, many n the inmates of the granite building, standing in the entry. Some the upper part of the filling thought at first that it for them, it was about the length to contain two full sized busts Observing, however, that 1t directed 10 St. Lou
