SUSPECTED MURDER. EXTRAORDINAR-
COVERT OF HUMAN RE3fAINS AT ERDINGTON.--A ni_uel r •
traordinary and appalling discovery was effected on niunai
morning by a man in the service of Mr. Paul Bioar,_„4o
Broadfield House, near Erdington. It appears that, auvr„ ,
five o'clock in the morning, the man, accompanied by A fit.
vant of Mr. Fowler, went out for the purpose of rook-shn
ing. Having shot a bird, he went in search of it into A'Z
field, and on entering a hovel wl e-e it had fallen, he 'ref,
horrified at discovering the body of a man lying in one 0re,,,,.•
in a very advanced state of decomposition. In fact, toru,,
from appearances, there can be little-doubt that it nausi,.lSo
been in its present situation for several months. o
0
time of this discovery the skin and flesh were entirely s,.
from the lower jaw and the extremities of the body.
upper part of the face was quite black, having the SPr-iul
ance of leather ; the hair, beyond the usual length fors ll')
is quite black. The unfortunate deceased was appent/1
about sft. 6in. in height, of a slight make, and was dreee„,
in a dark coat and waistcoat, black and grey striped trousei,l7:
grey worsted stockings, with white-top boots. Allheu,gied
formation has been iven to the various authorities, no uhr-de
has as yet been held; and we shudder to state, that on 0 ,
he foot'
reporter proceeding to the spot yesterday afternoon,
that the body had become an object of curiosity to the fel:
quenters of the races, and that it had been so horribly Inu'
lated by the thoughtless pleasure-seekers, that the head IV?:
actually severed from the body, and a wretch was handing
about for the gratification of those assembled.—Ringingkans
Advertiser.

alarming the public by reports of the prevalent k, iu-
in potatoes. He states that he has, within restored

arts
quired of nearly a hundred persons from differenl P t that
of the adjoining counties, and one and all stated
there was no apparent disease among the potato Outs'
and, in fact, that there was a promise of a most abundant
crop. We noticed in our immediate neighbourhood thee
healthy appearance of the plants, and on inquirinF 4_l;
the country people we were told that theynever protalseu
to yield a more plentiful crop. Since writing the above,
we have been informed that there are full 500 acres 01
potatoes in the parishes of Axbridge and Cheddar, and
all are perfectly healthy. One grower sent two tons
weight of new potatoes to London last week, and he SS'
serted that he had not found one bad one in digging
that quantity. Numerous letters have been received in
this city „from Ireland, all of which state that nothing is
known
there of any diseases in the potato. Bristol

of Friends.— Cork Examiner of Monday.
