M1DDLETowN, May 5.-0n Friday afternoon our
quiet neighboring town of Cromwell was thrown
INTO an intense excitement by the rumor that the
body Of woman had been found murdered in an
open lot in the west part of that town, near what
Is called the shunpike, about two and half miles
from the village.
The facts, as we gather them from an eve
Witness are as follows:
On Friday morning Mr.. Seldom @. Ely went to
lot OF his to repair the fence between him and
that owned by Mr.. David Edwards, and about l
O'Clock, while following the line of fence he dis
covered the body of woman. living on her back
stark naked, in the lot Of Mr. Edwards and about
four feet from the fence. On going to it he
found her to be quite dead He Immediately gave
nouce to the people in that vicinity, and then
drove to the village to notify Mr.. Buckley Ed
yards, first selecIman, as well as Mr. Timothy
Ranney, town constable, of the fact
A coroner's jury was summoned, and number
OF the people went out to the spot. After the
formation of the jury, with Mr.. VIM a. Shckney
as foreman, and MIR. Marvin r. Warner as clerk a
post mortem examination was held by DR. Hutch
inson, OF Cromwell, and Dr.. Hodgson, of>Rocky
HILL
The corpse appeared to be that Of young wo
man, from twenty to twenty-five years old fair
complexion, auburn or chestnut hair, and we'll
developed form; height five feet one inch On
the torehnger OF the right hand was plain gold
ring.
The legs, from her knees down to her feet, ap-
peared to be much bruised the left eye was gone
whether gouged or eaten out, it was impossible to
determine. The left side of her face was much
blackened from bruises and also the back of her
LETT ear and over her left eye, though blow or
blows had been given her. Around her body was
a string or tape and on her ankle was piece of
shoe string.
In her right hand was a number of sprigs of
bushes, while her left lay on her breast. Her feet
did not indicate that she had walked barefooted
and died there; nor was there anything about her
person which indicated ia the least that it was
case of suicide, The body was not in a very for

MIsREPREsENTATroNs ABOUT THE LATE RIoTs.--
If q Memphis journal were to undertake to ex-
pose half the falsehoods, manufactured ont Of the
whole cloth, floating about in the Northern papers
about our late riots, all its space would be con
sumed for the next six months. Not only the rad
ical, bnt the moderate Republican journals, are
filled with the grossest misrepresentatons-all de-
signed to infame the Northern people against, not
Memphis alone, hut the entire South. This is done
systematically. The truth almost wholly ignored
while every sensational rumor, forwarded by I'M
truthful correspondents is eagerly seized upon and
put forth as fact The fact that the troubles
were commenced by negroes, and that the subse-
quent troubles We're simply every riot between
races since the world has stood repeating itself,
has not been taken into account. The fact that
during riots in Philadelphia New York, and other
Northern cities, in years long gone by, negro
churches, negro school-houses and negro shanties
have been destroyed, and negroes wantonly muir
dered by mobs, is secuted by these haters of the
South. One would think, from perusal of some of
the Republican journals, that no mob ever oc-
Cured before that no mob could be melted any
where else than in a Southern community whereas,
it is notorious that, aside from Baltimore, mobs
have been almost unknown in the South

apparently, exhausted the fertility of his imagna

atreal scheme, lately presented by him to the
Literary Mems Society and which-if he can be
believed about anything-was received with
unanimous applause.n This was his scheme: He
would build an ediice, half theater and half cir
Gus, capacle of seating three thousand people
and costing four hundred thousand dollars, He
estimates the nightly receipts at seven thousand
five francs to half a franc. In subscribing for a
seat she subscriber would receive two seats.
Eight hundred subscribers would enter every
night; in four years the debt would be padi IN
six years the theater would belong IN zee simple

A SINGULAR RAILROAD AoCIDENT.-About three
train on the New York Central (direct) road, east
ward bound, met with serious accident in Ged-
des. The train was drawn by two locomotives.
Tie one on the lead lost a stick of wood from the
tender, which fell on the track and under the
wheels of the second engine, throwing it and sew
eral Of the cars of the track. The first locomotive
and tender became detached from the other and
passed on without any injury The tender of the
second and two of the cars were smaahed into
fragments. The engineer and fireman jumped
from the engine in time to save their lives If they
had remained quarter of minute longer they
would in all probability have been killed. Their
escape is considered by all who have witnessed
the wreck, to be little less than miracle. A
number of the ears were loaded with cattle-sev-
eral were killed and manned. One of the cars
was turned bottom side up on the Oswego and
Syracuse railroad that runs along side of the Cen.
trail at Syracuse.
