tOa Tree-A Man Eaten by Hogs.
The st. Louis Democrat of the 20tA instant says:-
snort distance below Carondelet is fine tract
of land known as the Allen place. The farm is
rented by Mr.. Wagner, who, with his family,
occupy the place and cultivate the land. On Friday
evening Mr.. Wagner told his son to search for a
missing steer in the timber, and the boy, with
companions, started out to look for it On reaching
a point about three-quarters of a mile below the
river Des Peres, and within few yards of the track
OF the Iron Mountain Railroad, the boys saw a dark
TO be the missing animal On closer approach,
however, they found the body of man hanging by
leather strap from the limb of small tree within
twenty-five feet OF the railroad track.
The BODY only of the man remained, as the limbs
nao been torn OF at the thighs and devoured by
nogs. "he man had apparently been hanging there
Tor several months, and the skin and flesh on the
hands, arms and face had dried and shrivelled
under the fierce rays Of the sun until the corpse ap
peared Ike an Egyptian mummy. The eyes, lips,
ana tongue were gone, aud the weight OF
the chin, and the Jawbone was exposed to view The
lntestlLeS were also gone, and the sight was
altogether one OF the most horrible that could be
imagined. The strap by which the body was sus-
pen1ed had evidently been used by the deceased as
a belt. No knot or moose tied in it, but It had
been buckled over the limb, and the suicide, il
through the loop, and with his feet resting upon
the ground had leaned forward upon the strap
and chohed himself TO death. From the fact that
TWO OF the ribs, one on the right and one on the
left side, were broken, suspicion aroused that
the man might have been murdered aud placed
in that position to create false impression that ne
had committed suicide. With tine exception OF the
TWO broken ribs, however, the other bones were
found entire. 1t is possible that the man may have
peen accidentally injured ana out OF the reach of
human assistance may, In his agony, have used this
method OF terminating his sufferngs Be this as it
may, nothing was found by which the mutilated
remains could be identified and the COroner's ury
DeIeV1Dg that the man had committed suicide, re-
turned a verdict in accordance with the sunno.

Formal Announcement TO the People of the
Failure of the Annexation Scheme-PrOcIa-

Formal Announcement TO the People of the
Failure of the Annexation Scheme-PrOcIa-
nation oil the Danish King.
The following is translation OF the procama-
ton OF the Danish King TO the people OF st. Thomas
and ST. Johns announcing the failure OF the scheme
to annex those islands to the United States through
the refusal OF the Senate to ray the treaty sought
by the representatives OF our Governments
We, Christian IX by the grace OF God King of Dem
mark, the Vanoas and the GOths, Duke of Sleswick
Hostein, Stormarn. Ditmarsch, Laurenborg, and
Odenborg, to our beloved and faithful subjects in
the Islands or ST. Thomas and St Johns our royal
greCtlngi
You are aware of the motives that actuated us
at the time to give ear to the repeated and urgent
requests OF the North American Government for
the cession of st. Thomas and St. Johns to the
United States We expected that we in that man.
ner should have have been able to tighten our
realm OF the heavy burdens incurred by the then
recently terminated Tar ata, and we hoped that
have afforded the islands advantages so important
that they could have contributed to soothe the pain
which q separation necessarily must cause in the
colonies no less than in the mother country. You
for your part and the Danish Diet the part of the
Kingdom, have concurred in these views and We all
met IN the mutual readiness to accommodate our
selves to what appeared to us all to be recommended
by the circumstances
Unexpected obstacles have arisen TO the realiza-
ton OF this idea and released us from our pledged
word. The American Senate has not shown itself
Wiling 10 maintain the treaty made, although the
initiative for it exclusively proceeded from the
United States themselves Ready as we were to
subdue the feelings Of our heart where we thought
that duty Dade us so TO do yet we cannot otherwise
than feel satisfaction tnat circumstances have re-
heyed US from making sacrifice which, notwith-
sanding the advantages it held out, would always
have been very painful to u.s. We are convinced
that you share these sentiments, and that is with
lightened heart you are released from the consent
which only at our request you gave, to a separation
OF the islands from the Danish Crown
In there fore making known to you that the con-
ventlon made on the oath OF October 1867, for the
Cession OF the islands OF St. Thomas and st. Johns
TO the United States OF America has become void,
we entertain The firm belief that our Government,
supported by your own active endeavors, will sue
seed IN promoting the ioterests OF the islands, ana
by degrees etface all remembrances OF the misfor-
tunes which OF late years have so sadly bealen the
islands TO this end we pray Almighty God to give
uB streI 9Th and wisdom.
Commencing you to God Given at our palace OF
Amalienborg the 7th May 1S7O under our royal hand
and SEAL CHRISTIAN X.
