An Ypsilanti Sensation

The Ypsilantian has in its last week 's edition a highly sensational article on an attempted grave robbery from their Highland cemetery. The intiniation is thatsome desperate citizen oí that place under cover of darkness sought to remove a body recently buried, for the purpose of disposing of it to some medical college. The friends of the deceased were apprehensive that the grave might be molested, and henee, kept a diligent watch, and the scheme was frustrated. The attempted deed, if it should be authenticated, cannot be too strongly condemned, and should this fiend who could be gunty of such an outrage be detected ija the act, he would merit the punishment which is threatened by this indignant writer. The grave is sacred, and whoever violates the hallowed place is an enemy of humanity. We are not eurprised that the deed is condemned in the most severe terms, and the crime denounced as an outrage upon civilization. We only wish that this miscreant might have been detected in the attempt, and on the spot received the penalty which this foul deed deserves. It was hardly necessary, however, to draw the inference, that this midnight ghoul was in partnership with the medical faculty of our state university, and that they were confederates in the crime. " The honored institution at Ann Arbor " never condescended to such infaruous and detestable practices, and it is a foul slander to awaken any such suspicion in the minds oí the public. Indeed, there is no occasion that there should be any resort to such measures, for by the laws of the state they are furnished with all the material they can use. The authorities here are above all suspicion, andaré too honorable to condescend tothe abhorrentact with which they are here charged. It is an outrage upon those who have the management of our state institution, even to insinúate that they are in league with the miscreants who rob the grave of its precious treasures. We loathe the deed of violence as much as any, but we equally denounce the attempt to injure the fair fame of our noble TJniversity by associating with it an act which is a stigma upon civilization, and a crime of the first magnitude against society. In this regard our authorities are above suspicion. and the endeavor thus to darken its reputation is unworthy of honorable journalism.
