SUPPOSED IDENTIFICATION OF DEAD
BoDY.-On Monday of last week a dog belong
ing to Mr.. John Hawkins near Crimora mines
in this county, was discovered to have brought
horne the arm of q white man. Mr.. Hawkins
took the arm to the Office of Justice Casper
Koiner, after which party went in search OF
the body and found an overcoat, pair of panta
looms, boots, po textbook, and knife, and also
an empty vial which DR.. Myers said contain+d
a harmless medicine. All these articles we're
recognized by several persons as belonging to
Mr. ]. Dorsey Hanger. and there seems to be
no doubt that he il the person to whose body
the arm, found by the dog. belonged. He left
his home about three weeks ago, saying he was
going out West. His friends. being anxious
about him. wrote to persons In the West, max
ing inquiry about him. but failed to learn any
thing of him. During the late war, he was
member of Company E. LIST Va. Cavalry. and
was we'll known, and had many relatives and

RAISING SUNFLOWERs FOR HENS,

The necessity for a variety OF food for
chickens is generally understood. but very
few people are aware OF the value of sun
flowers as hen food. They are very protluc
tive of oil, are eaten greedily and give a Pc
eighth of an acre planted in this crop, and
propose to bind them into bundles and stow
them away for winter use. The heads can
be thrown into the hen house. where the
chickens will soon pick out the seeds, giving
them exercise as well as variety. with
plenty OF other grain within reach they will
eat no more sunflower seeds than are bene
ticial to them.
