HORRIBLE MURDER.-Some two weeks
ago young man named Moore. son Ct
Alfred Moore, of Harnett county. left
home in the direction of J0hnst n in
search of work. Nothing had since been
heard from him. but this created 10 sur
prise, till on Friday last the skeleton Of a
man was found near the RI sldeOce OF
Squire Royal, ou the liue betwe II Harnet,
and Johnston The flesh Eal been entire
ly eaten from the bones by the buzzards,
but the hat, the clothes and a gun dece tsed
had with him were recognized by his
father and brother as those of Moore
There is no doubt as TO the fact of the un-
fortunate man having been murdered, aud
the Sheriff of Harnett is now on the track
of the murderer or mnrderers. Inc
neighbors had noticed n large number OF
buzzards for some time past in the d'rec-
ton of the place where the remains ~ re
found. but regarded their prey as a dead
hog or the like. We have these horrible
details from Sheriff Cullom.- Raleigh Sen
