SKELETON OF A MAN FOUND IN TIE
WooDs.-On Monday or Tuesday of last
week, says the Pottsvillc STANDARD, party
Of men or boys, while out cunning near
Raub's, in tho neighborhood Of Ringtown,
discovered the skeleton Of man. He ap.
peared to be we'll dressed, having on new
boots, good clothing, etc. About his clothes
were found prayer book, pistol, some
keys, three clay pipes, and watch chain.
When found hc was lying on doclivity !;
above him were his hat and overcoat. A
Coroner's jury was cmpanncled, who, after
viewing the case, came to the conclusion
that he was one Of the party who, about q
year ago, attacked tho house of Mr.. Henry
Rapp, near the place above mentioned,
where Mr.. johnson was killed, aud Mr..
Rapp severely wounded. It is supposed
from circumstantial evidence, that this man,
after being shot by johnson left the main
body Of assailants and took to the woods,
(he being tracked in that direction for some
distance,) tying handkerchief (which was
found on him) around his body to prevent
the blood from dropping, and thus enable
his pursuers to track him. Persons living
in the neighborhood had often noticed the
cfluvia, peculiar to dead body long expo.
sed, but could not account for it. Remark
able to state, tho skin was in good state Of
preservation, but everything else, save the
bones was decayed. The body was lying
twenty yards from the road, and had, it is
supposed, been lying there since the 2lst of
last March, nearly year ago. His remains
wore buried on the SPOT. t
