Tho body was naked and had probably been in tho water for several weeks: The boys secured a box and buried tho remains In the ccmo tcry on Union Hill. Tho discovery created no llttlo excitement and qulto a large number curiously viewed tho body. It is thought that tho body came down the river during tho high water a few weeks ago, and the current, which forms an eddy here, drove It into tho placo where the find was made. It is very likely only another caso of a mother taking measures ungodly to rid herself of an Illegitimate offspring, and tho body being beyond recognition leaves her safo from justice.
