BODY FOUND AT VERNoN.-The 10Th

grass in Pond Meadow, opposite the
head of Pomeroy's Island, and permitted
his youngest children Eta and Rowland
to walk on the bank of Conn. river,
where they discovered the remains of
the body of a man covered to the depth
of foot or mora with alluvial deposit.
Mr.. s. notified DIR. Goodwillie and 9TH
ers of the civil authority and a thorough
investigation was made. On account of
low water the head and shoulders were
exposed. The Uranium was bare Of the
scalp. His appearance indicated him to
be forty years or more as his molar teeth
were gone except the two back teeth and
the jaw was grown over as if they were
drawn years before his death. The
front teeth were good. His coat was
probably blue. His pants might have
been of tweed, dark color slightly mix
ed with white and tucked inside his
boots. His boots were probably no. Z
made of Calcutta leather and patch on
one side of them. In his pockets we're
found match, an eightpenny nail, and
wallet in which nothing could be
found. Judging from the decomposi-
ton that had taken place DIR. Goodwill
lie thinks probably the body may have
remained under earth and water for
four or FIVE years.
The above we have received from a
correspondent in Vernon who will &C.
cept our thanks. The body found is not
unlikely to prove to be that of Adolphe
Friedrich, who was carried off in the
food of 1869, from Brattleboro.
