In the BrookvilIe Republican of Dec
9Th, We find the following item of news:
I'VE learn that the bones of man were
recently found near Luthersburg branch
of the Sandy Lick Creek, Clearfield CO.,
supposed by some to be those of a man
named Hines, who suddenly disappeared
in that neighborhood some six or seven
years ago. 1t is the opinion ofmany that
Hines was foully dealt with. on account
of his money, or by reason Of serious diff
ficulties between him and some of his
neighbors. His friends are supposed to
live in the vicinity of Williamsport, Pa"
And the Bellefonte Press, of Dec. 7th,
contains the following:
''The people of Osceola were considera-
bly, startled on Saturday last by the find
ing of a human skeleton, about two miles
from that place. From appearances it is
supposed the body had been there for
period of five or six years. The bone of
one leg still remained in the boot, which
had been gnawcd by wild animals as the
marks of their teeth were plainly visible
in the leather. There has been various
surmises as to the identity Of the body,
none of them however prove satisfactory.
This is the second or third human skele-
ton which has been found in that locality
with the past three years"
