Removals.

Removals.
Re- Our friend HERR1cK has removed
his Watches and Jewelry TO the Store of
the Messrs. MYERS, second door below
the Montour House, where his patrons
will find him as courteous, as accommo-
dating, and as prompt and reliable in
business, as ever.
Mr.. c. V. G. Posi- has also removed
his Furniture Store to the same building,
where he says furniture can be procured
at lower prices than heretofore known in
this region, and much cheaper than any
body can sell it and make money out of
it. Those wanting articles in this line
will please make a note of the fact.
From the above, and in view of the
varied assortment of goods which the
Messrs. MYERS themselves keep. it would
seem as if they are determined to make
their store kind of General Bazaar,
where their customers may find under
one roof almost anything that their ne
cessities or their fancy may prompt them
to buy. The public will doubtless APP
preciate the convenience of the arrange
ment.

Those Barrels.

! nose 0aTrelSs
re- If anybody is, like we were, GU
rious to know what is contained in that
great pile of barrels opposite KrNsLEY &
Bowers Store, on Main Street, we beg
leave to inform that person that it is salt.
Those gentlemen had sagely concluded
that large amount of salt would soon be
needed by our farmers and citizens, and,
with their customary promptness in pro-
viding for such contingencies, have laid
in q stock of some two hundred barrels,
because, by buying thus largely, they are
enabled to sell more cheaply. Those in
want of that article cannot, therefore, do
better than give these gentlemen call.

Body Found.

Body Found.
RE On last Saturday afternoon, while
Messrs. w. G.. JOHNSON, s. s. MCCLURE,
and A. BARNES, of this place, were en-
gagged in hunting, along the bank of the
river, some two miles below town, the dog
of the former attracted his attention to
an object under some drift wood, which,
upon examination. proved to be the re-
mains of human body. But little was
left, however, besides the bones, and the
decayed remnants of pair of pants and
q shirt. From the scull it was evident
that the remains were those of an aged
person, and upon the examination at the
inquest, held on Sunday morning, by
Esquire CHASDLER, it was apparent that
they were those of MAURICE KELLY, who
disappeared from this place on the 2sth
day Of last June. The description of the
clothing which KELLY had on when he
disappeared, corresponds precisely with
the clothing covering the remains. He
had been insane for some time, and had
once attempted suicide by throwing him
self into well. He was also nearly
blind with Inflammation of the eyes, and
whether he accidently fell. or threw him
self, into the river, cannot be determined.
He was So years old, and was native of
the county of Limerick, Ireland. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was in &C
cordance with the above facts.
