BODY FoUND.-On the Goth inst, the body
of Mrs Noah Kite one of the victims of the
September food, was found, just below Mr.,
Isaac Longs, (Mr. Mohler's) mill dam, in the
South Fork Of the Shenandoah River, Page
county, Virginia. 1t seems that several boats
were passing down the river, and when they
approached the shute or sluice, they examined
it to ascertain whether it was passable for the
boats, and in moving some little drift, the body
of Mrs Kite was discovered Her son being
sent for, at once recognized the body with Ger
tainty, not only from the general appearance
but from her clothing and ring which she had
on her finger A bar of sand had been left
there by the food, which took place last Sep
tember; this being partially removed by the re-
cent freshets the body was exposed This is
the third one of the family that has been found;
there are three more MFR. Kite himself, his
daughter, and little sou, and Mr.. West, who
was swept away by the food. Winchester Trg.
