- On Tuesday discovery was made that the grave of Thomas Ready, recently deceased, in the Catholic cemetery, had been opened and robbed -the work having probably been done on Saturday or Sunday night. Sheriff Fleming and assistants made thorough search of the Medical College, but without getting any clue, and the officers express the opinion that the body was taken away from the city. The Sheriff has offered a reward of $100 for the arrest of the depredators. Mr. Ready was an old resident, and the outrage has justly caused a good deal of excitement.

- A woman named Warner was before Justice Manly, yesterday, 011 a charge of being drunk and disorderly, and in default oí $250 bail to keep sober and the peace, billeted to the House of Correction. What should be the punishmeat of the men who sold lier the liquor and who daily deal out liquor to drunken men and women ? or who when wives beg of them that they will nottake the food from their children or the clothes ftom their backs, by selliug their husbands liquor, drive them trom their saloons and teil thera that as long as their customers pay they can have liquor ? The Junior Exhibition of the High School took place on Friday evening last. The hall which had been beautifully trimmed for the occasion was well filled, and the good order which was maintained throughout the exercises evideuced the interest the audience feit in the cl asa and its representatives.

It ia enough to say that the yotmg ladies and gentlemen acquitted themselvea welL We desire to cali the attention of the several aldermen constituting the Ward Boards of Regiatration to the fact.that there is need of a careful and thorough revisión of the Ward registry lista, with a view áf checking off the several handred ñames oí dead and removed electora which now lumber up the lists. As printed and posted the lists show voters in the several wards asfollows: rirst,470; Second,297; Third, 476; Fourth, 354; Fifth, 176; Sixth,206; total, 1,979, ur f uil 400 more ñames than there are voters in I the city. Some names are on two, three or four lists ; some lists include the names of persous moved from the city years ago, and also the names of persous who have been dead a erable length of time. If the aldermen will come together before the day for registration and compare lists they will be able to make a general sUughter and save canvassers hunting up I manent) absentees or dead electora on election day. Such incorrect and lumbered up lists offer a premium to illegal voting : that is if we have any politicians of the Philadelphia school, adepta in personating, or in votiug on the names of other people.
