DEArH OF LADY BY VIoLEScE.-A cores.
pondeut Of the Jacksonville Republican, writing
from the Mineral Springs under date Of Sep
TENDER 6, gives the following horrid recitali
"The dead body of lady was found floating
in the river, at or near Sawanee Shoals, a few
DAYS ago, indicating death occasioned by Uio-
lerice, and supposed to have been lying in the
water eight or ten days. A post mortem ex-
animation was held, and opinions of physicians
were given to this effect She bore on her head
and right ear deep cash, supposed to be the
result Of a stroke from large knife; both arms
uniointed at the elbow, several teeth broken
out, bowels cut out ALSO and stout leather
girdle encircled her waist But one garment
protected her from the heat Of an almost YER
teal sun, and her back was literally baked.
To all human appearance this subject Of some
diabohcal machination was young and hand
some lady, features good, although the flesh
had almost undergone the process of decompo
sition; and have also heard she possessed a
beautiful hand, supposed to be unaccustOmed tc
labor"
No discovery had been made tending to re
! veal the name either of the murderer or the
victim.
