Body Found-A Murder.

Marshal Squires informs the Tribune and
Clipper that the body ofa woman was found
foatingain the river, about A miles below this
place, on Sunday last. There were evident
marks ofviolence on the body, as her face
was cut by sharp instrument, (probably a
Ratchet or an axe.) seyering her chin, under
lip and tongue. There was wen on the
topof her head about half the size Of hens
egg. Her hair was black, and she is suppos-
81 to be 25 or 30 years Of age. The gentle
man who discovered the body, states that
her-countenance looked familiar, and that he
had seen her in the streets Of this city some
days ego.
She had nothing on but her night dress
when found, which leads to the belief that
she was murdered in her bed. This is evi-
dent, also from the cut on the face, which
must have been made when lying down.
The body had been in the water buta short
time.
Nopains should be spared TO ferret out he
murderer and bring him TO justice.
