about two weeks afterward, when the
pain became excruciating, and death &C.

WAY, y. Y.-The remains Of the old lad V
found in the Hull barn were buried at
Galway village. All attempts to unravel
the mystery of her death, and to ascertain
how she came in the barn, hive proved
unavailing. The fact that the NOW on
which the body was found was four or five
set from the floor. without ladder or
oth., means by which lady of her age
and iee0"ness could have climbed upon it,
indicates thhN she was placed there after
death.-lhe oareisi covering of the re.
