It's face frozen stiff. The ground around
where the dead man lay was undisturbed and
it was evident that death had ensued from ex-

was found, is about mile and a half to two
miles from Orange depot At intervals along
the avenue are isolated dwellings interspersed
with woodland. The avenue is one of the
principal streets of Orange, Eextending for
miles over the mountain TO St. Cloud. It is
not frequented AID therefore it is not strange
that the unfortunate man might after falling
nave lain undiscovered until this nlorning As
