SHORNS OF ITS FLORAL TRIBUTES.

Some Vengeful Professor Robs John Sheedy's Grave of its Memorial Adornments.

Yesterday's JOURNAL contained brief mention of the visit of Mrs. Mary Sheedy to the grave of her husband in St. Theresa cemetery, Saturday morning, and the brace of rich floral tributes that were seen nestling in the summit of that interesting mound of clay immediately thereafter. parties who visited the grave later in the day report that are the afternoon sped some one, with unfathomable designs of their own visited the grave and tore away the tribute , leaving naught to mark the bright and fragrant tenancy of morning except two incisions into its clayey surface, indicating the points where the floral treasures had been tenderly placed. No one appeared to know who had torn away the tokens and perhaps those who [do?] know will never tell. Whether it was some purloined of choice flowers or some resentful and vindictive friend of the man supposed to have been murdered is a matter of conjecture.
