SriUNGFiiii.D, O., Jan. 27. An exten sive and systematic coal steal Ims been discovered at Baiabridge, Fnis county, Ohio, a small town on tli-j Ohio Southern railroad. A carload of coal would at times disappear in a single night r.nd the peculations became so extensive tint tin railroad company employed detect: vis to unearth the thieve.-. The result has been the arrest of liftc-en prominent citizens of Bainbridge, ineluding the r.inihal, a hotel proprietor and a Presbyte inn preacher. Tfce detectives say that half the citizens of the town rj implicated in the steal. The peculations amount to many hundreds of dollars and their ex tent may be imagined when it is known that although coal is universally used in Brainbridge, not a singls carload h:is been billed to a resident of that place this winter.

Vt'Jwo the death has occurred tho women rush 011 t; the- Hat roof or someother conspic uous piaee, where they rend the nir with their cries, tear their hair and ivo way to unbridled rief. Tho town crier is sent round to unnouuee the fact to the neighbors aa-1 to summon friends to the death wv.il, which takes place an hour or two after tho spirit has left tho body. After the body lias been washed hi wine it is laid outon a bier la the center of the one roomed house, arrayed in the ! eeaseds best clothes, decked out with iio'.vcrs, and with lamps burning at the side, reminding us of the ancient custom of placing the corp-o thus in the midst of tho hall, drcs:vd in as handsome i robe as tho family co:i!d a!foil, i:i order, according to Lueian, that the dead may not be cold on tho passage to hades end may not bo seen naked by Cer berus: Then begins the ei-ath wail ceremony, a seen;; cf heart rending Ri'iirf, such as took place in Priam's palace over the dead body of Hector. These death wails are, in fact, one of the most striking bonds of connection between the Jleilemsm of the past and the Hellenism of the present, and in the Greek islands, de spite the strictness of the iiu.ro civilized luembei-s of the orthodox church, they cling to them v. ith surprising tenacity. A lxxly whi.rh dies unlamenUi.-l cannot enter hades, and wanders about like that of Patrocius and Ilip.-nor in misery in the upper air, neither belonging to the living nor to tho dead. Consequently, the deai.il wails and the burials take place as soon as possible after death that tho gates of hades may bo opened to them a-; soon as may bo. From these death wails wo learn how much that is hc-itheu is incorporated in tho belief of today respecting an after life. The' sing of hades as a fro :en, miserable place, where the dead wander forever, anxious to return to the upper air, and endeavoring to steal froi.i Charon, the lord of the lower earth, his keys, bat in ifeetually.
