Dead Child Pound.

Yesterday while Charles Morris, color
ed man, was blowing in a field On the
farm of Mr.. Henry D. Peck, near town,
his horses in turning at the edge of piece
of woods struck their feet against box
covered up in the leaves. On examining.
the man found the dead body of white
child in the box. Coroner, E. M. Cushing,
being notified Of the circumstance, went
to the spot and found the child had been
dead several days, as the body was in a.
state of decomposition. 1t was an infant
and if born alive had died very SEQ
afi erwards. No marks of violence were
to be seen and as nothing could be ascer-
tanned by further examination, Mr., Cush-
ing did not think it necessary to summon
jury of inquest and had the body buried.
