NOTES OF TIE WEEK

REMAINS FoUND.-On Wednesday afternoon, ma.
tives employed on the sugar plantation of Mr..
McKeague, found the remains of a human body in
the cane field. On receipt of the news in town, Dep
uty Sheriff Dayton proceeded to the field, and secured
q silver watch, seventy dollars in gold coin, and an
open pruning knife, which were near the remains.
The skull and remaining bones were brought into
town. No one has as yet ident fed the watch, and
the whole AFFAIR is shrouded in mystery. How long
the body may have lain there it is impossible to say,
though it must have been within the past five months,
as the cane was stripped at that time. The open
knife would suggest suicide as the cause of the death.
Since the above was put in type. a portion Of the
property found with the remains, has been identified
as belonging TO an English gardener, by the name OF
Beales, who has been missing for some two months.
He was a native of London, and has a brother living
in Chelsea, England.

to the removal Of the sign from the United States

the outrage. and offered to settle the matter in such
manner as Mr.. Mcbride might suggest. Accordingly

accompanied by the midshipmen who removed it. pro-
ceeled TO the Legation, aud the sign was replaced by
