A SAD END.
The BODY of the Missing DeimOnico
Found in the Woods.

NEWARK, n. j., Jan. IA.
DeImonicos body was found in the Orange
Mountain woods near Gen. McLelfan's sum-
mer residence at ten clock this morning.
by two BOYS No marks of violence were
found on the body, aud it is supposed he died
from exposure. There was nothing missing
from the body.
New YORK. Jan. IA.
The BODY of Delmonieo was found lying
on its face frozen stiff. The ground around
where the dead man lay was undisturbed,
and it was evident that death had ensued
from exposure to the weather, which has
been particularly severe on the mountain
side for the past week.
Northfield avenue, where the body was
found. is about a mile and half or two
miles from Orange depot. At intervals along
the avenue are isolated dwellings inter-
spersed with woodland. The avenue is one
of the principal streets of Orange, extending
from Main street for miles over the mountain
to St. Cloud. 1t is not frequented, and there
fore it was not strange that the unfortunate
might after falling have remained undiscOv-
cred until this morning. As Gen. Mcclellan,
John Cropsey Brown, George B. Hecker and
other prominent people live along this part
of Mortified, it is thought by many that
Delnonico might have had a dazed idea of
reaching one OF their residences, out MS
strength gave out before attaining his object.
Before Delmonico was made millionaire
by the death of his uncle, he was genial
companion, the friend of literary, theatrical
and club men. who used to receive a warm
welcome at his house. He was a lover of
good books. and enjoyedpthe society of jour
nalists and book makers. Wall street, how
ever. proved his physical ruin. He acquired
a passion for speculation, and this new occu-
patton, together with increasing cares which
devolved upon him when he inherited his
uncle's business. filled his mind with quota
ions. He gave up all general reading. His
friends. too, soon saw that his attitude to-
wards them, once SO cordial, was changed.
He made money, and the passion grew on
him to make more. Finally, he began to
suffer from nervous prostration, the result of
too close application to several kinds of bust
ness. He became restless and irritable. A
year ago this spring he went South in the
hope of regaining his health, and the freedom
from care which he enjoyed did him much
good. On his return, however, the old NAL
ady showed Itself afresh. The atmosphere
| of New York seemed to upset him. He spent
the summer at Long Branch. but still com.
planned of his head and suffered from some
nervous trouble.

The New York POstofiice Inspected by
a British Spy.

New YORK, Jan. IA.
Investigation has been instituted in the
postoffice in this city by Col. Sharpe. on alle-
cations of Mr. Robert Newman, broker.
who alleges that during the months of August,
September and October an English srv

access to the postofice and inspected the
mail of some of the prominent Irishmen of
the dynamite party of this city.
He made Inspector Newton's Office his

to kill McDermott, he sailed for England.
1t is understood that on Wednesday next.

Office in the shape of letters and afidavits

ton said yesterday that O'Brien had been
introduced to him as an English detective

obtained any information from the empIove.

PiTsrIELD, Jan. IA.
Last Saturday forenoon, Amaziah Jordan,
q citizen of HarIland took his axe and vent
out abou, mile to cut wood for Mr.. A. w.
Miller. He stayed about two hours. when
he remarked to the other two men who we're
there cutting wood, that he had told his wife
that he should be at home TO dinner and left.
Two hours siterw ards, James Hurd, who lives
on the road To Millers wood lot, saw Jordan
coming in the road walking on his heel, car
rying his axe on bis shoulder. The handle
of the axe was bloody. His boot vas gone,
and the toes on his left foot were all cut of
except the smallest one. He told Hurd that
he did not know how it happened. Hurd
harnessed his team and took him to DIR. II.
Pishon's office, where his foot was properly
dressed and he was taken home. He told
the doctor that his boot hurt his toes and he
thought he would shave of the toe of his
boot, but accidently cut his toes of.
Sunday morning two of his neighbors went
to Mr. Hurd's and the two went in search OF
the boot and toes. They made a thorough
search and found that when Jordan left the
other men he took n short route through the
wood and pastures to the highway. While
on the way he commenced to cut down
through hssboot and toes. 1t appears thai
he had three spells hacking at it. First, he
took it on a stump, then on the crust. and
then on a log, going Is to 20 rods between
times. At he last place, he trimmed the
boot and toes of square, and close to the foot
When near the highway, he took his boot
