BoDY FouND.-On last Thursday, while son
OF Mr., Meek, living five miles north east of this
place, was riding across the prairie in search of
cattle, he discovered the remains of human
body near a quarter Of q mile from the man
road, and little further from the residence Of
Mr.. Meek. Intelligence Of the fact was convey.
ed to town on Friday morning aud Justice Wood
stock summoned q corQnerS Jury, and proceeded
to examine the remains.
The body bore every appearance Of having
lain there for several months:-the flesh was en-
tirely gone, and the bones scattered about. 1t
appeared, however, to be the remains of a young
man OF rather small stature, The clothing con-
sisted OF black cloth pants, greenish cloth short
coat or roundabout, black lasting vest, cotton
shirt, strong linen under-shirt, a black bombazin
scarf or neck-tiea Kossuth hat, and pair of bro
gan shoes. single barrel pistol and a kind of
dirk knife were lying on the ground; a trunk
key and q smaller one, apparently belonging to q
carpet sack, were found in the vest pocket; also
the remains of Q couple of apples and small
red card, but 80 obliterated that nothing could
be made out. No clue could be obtained as to
name or residence of the deceased. A scrap Of
newspaper which appeared to have been around
