Our readers will remember that il
our issue of the oath of August last, We
gave an account of the finding uI the
body Of AndrHs Bemgston uf Lime
Lake, near Av0c:I, who had evidently
come to his death by cutting his throat
with his own hands, WHICH WAS the
substance of tie verdict or.tll- cornner'>
jury. At that time his wife WIS miss

and hr led people t" bt'li-ve HAT size
had left him. Tie day bct,re lie con.

neighbov and requested him to carry it
to another neighber, IN it he said, II
acknowledge my deed before God and
man." but did not say what the deed
was, and it was supposed he meant the
taking of his own life, In the letter he
expressed his wish AS to the disposition
of his property. They had no children

country and every place where she
might have gone, but no one had seen
her and the unsolved mystery grew
more mysterious. until last Sunday eve

been working to find her. went to the
place and found some articles Of cloth

been eating out the old straw or hay.-
This led him to think that the body
might have been buried in the sheep

Monday morning he obtained help and
commenced to dig down through the
manure and at 4 depth Of about two
