A Hillsboro CO., dispatch of the
3Oth says: On the third day of our
county fair the dead body of a young
man, a stranger, was found in the road
near Hillsboro, ten miles west of this
place. An inquest was held, but
there being nothing about his person
by which he could be identified, he
was buried by the authorities. and a
pistol, razor, four Franklin county
Democratic tickets, a prescription
signed by an Illinois physician, and
his pocket book, containing $3.50 in
money, deposited with Judge Nor
ton. A day or two afterward gen.
tleman from near Williamsburg, O.,
seeing the account of the suicide in
the papers, became convinced that ii
was his brotAcr-in-law, Moses Hen.
derson, who had disappeared under
mysterious circumstances. The body
was disinterred, and pronounced by
the gentleman to be his relative.

thereafter among them in the flesh,
and the question Of whose corpse il

mystery has been solved. On last
Sabbath Mr.. L. Morehead, of Shade
vile, Franklin county, arrived here,
having also read the report of the case
in the Gazette. His half brother,
Thomas Ramsey, left home on the
Wednesday before the body was
found, and his actions at the time
gave rise to some uneasiness to his
friends. Mr.. Morehead gave cor
rect description of the articles found
on the body before they were shown
to him, and identified the revolver
and razor at once as his brothers
property, and started Immediately to
the place where the body was buried,
intending to have it again disinterred
and removed to his home, near Col

which reached here concerning the
Samoan Islands trouble was that the
German and British Consuls resident

rates of taxation and fines upon the
natives, averaging IS per male capita !;
that the natives have sent McCloud
Namea, Secretary Of their State, to
negotiate treaty by which the ISL
ands might be placed under protec-
ton of the United States, which
treaty they unanimously favor. The
report continues, that ON Sept. 2lst an
Englishman named Hunt, with an
armed band, forcibly entered the
American Consulate and drove Grit
fifth, the consul, out Of his Office, and
gave the archives to Capt. Wright,
IN American. Hunt threatened the
ConsnPs life If he raised the Ameri-l
can flag. Griffith fed for safety to .
French gunboat in port, whose Cap
tain kept him for four days, y hen the
native authorities agreed to protect
the American flag and Griffith was
sent ashore under the American and
French flaxs. The assailants have not
vet been discovered, and q circum-
account of the matter has
been forwarded to Warrington.
