band OF the Turner'S, who held picnic that
day. His dead body was found on Saturday
near the Kossuth Woods Oh 'the Neck, " by
Mr.. VIM. Stevens, who was cunning The
barking of his dog in marsh having attracted
his attention, he went to the spot and found
the body almost embedded in mud. The child
had evidently followed the procession to the
vicinity, and having started to return to his
home on the hill, over the meadows, had be-
come fastened in the mire, and perished from
exposure and hunger. During the night of
the 9th his cries was heard but nothing unu-
sual was suspected, and no search was under
taken. The eyes and nose of the unfortunate
lad had been eaten away, probably by musk
rats, and the body was otherwise mutilaled

attempted to relieve himself lie had perhaps

three days, under q broiling sun by day, and
exposed to cold by night, and finally perish.

that has occurred for long time. Coroner

bereaved parents, and the scene that followed

their pony a drink. One Of the city ladies'
got out to arrange matters for this purpose.
The others remaining in the carriage, and
deeply engaged in conversation, for some time
