Scattered villages appear st intervals
There are no separate farmhouses,

about seven years ago, and had a
boy about fifteen years Of age. She
moved to Victoria about that time.
aud shortly afterwards her boy, who
was 10 poor health while here, died.
The remains were buried near Vie

about three years we understand
the graveyard where the remains
were inferred fell into private hands.

that parties who had buried friends
there could remove remains, otherwise
the graves would be obliterated. The
woman's affection for ber dead boy
was too strong to permit hey to lose

had all that was left Of him, the skei-

them 10 box awaiting the time
when she could have them injured
according to her desire. She learn
ed their hiding-plaee in the trunk had
been discovered, and, fearing they
would be taken from her, she placed
them in the bag and hung them in
the closet, where they were found.
A physician of this city who had
attended the woman's bog while
here, cOrroborated that part Of the
story, aud declared that some hairs
adhering to the skull were Of The
