A MEAN THEFT.

An event recently occurred in the Melbourne cemetery which. shows somewhat lax management on the part of the authorities of that reserve. One day the deceased wife of a promi» nent business man in one of the sub urbs of thi metropolis was conveyed to tlie cemetery to be buried. Her family were around the coflin as it rested on the trestles over the grave, and the officiating clergyman had only just read about half way through the burial service, when the eldest son ot the deceased suddenly discovered that by some mistake the wrong grave had been opened, and that the ono next to it was that in which the deceased should have been ini erred, It appears that the grave which was opened contained the remains of a ■ rother of the bereaved Inis' and of the deceased, and that the next grave to it contained the body of the deceased’s father, and that it .was in the latter she, before her death, requested that she should be placed. Through some mistake, how ever the wrong grave was opened, and it was only discovered when the service for the dead had been about half completed. As it was lute in the afternoon when this unusual occurrence took place, and there was no time tore-, open the other grave, it was arranged that the coffin slum d be lowered into the grave which had been opened, and remain there during the night without any earth being thrown over it, and with the lowering straps remaining in position, so that on the following morning it could be lifted at once, and lowered into the proper place of sepulture The cemetery authorities also said that a lent should be etecicd over the grave into which the coffin had (iconlowered, and that the friends need notbeunderany apprehension,but that everything would bo all right. Everything was not all right, however, for mi the following morning on the friends visiting the cemetery ti.oy found that the coffin had been robbed of its immortelles. The deceased lady was held in the highest respect by a large circle of people, and as a last mark of respect they not Only literally "covered the coffia with wreaths, but the ti nvovs we. nso nuuwrou> that they had to be piled up. The choicest flowers that con'd bo obtained had been placed upon the coffin, but'every one ox thorn had been stolen.—Zld- \ hour nr. Herald.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or counterfeited. This is esoecia'ly true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is oi the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to sted the Hosiers in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of 11. 8., and in every way trying to innuce suffering invalids to use their stuff iustoa i, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar stylo to H .R.wii i variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or “ Hops ” were used in a way to, nduoe people to believe they were the tamo as Hop Bitters. All such protended remedies or cures, no matte'what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “ Hop ” or “ Hops” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, aro imitations or counterfeits. Beware ot them. Touch none oi them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster v f green Hop* on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in lb glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are warocl against ucjiiiuj io imitations or ouaterfeits.
