Foul Play.
EDITOR SENTINEL /:

| CDlIOh DENIlNEL
The usual quietness OF our neighbor
hood has been disturbed, and excitemen,
prevails. A human skeleton has beer
found with the skull crushed in two
places as though it was done with an AK
or some sharp instrument, which il
unmistakable evidence of murder. The
skeleton was found in a dense wood
about one hundred and fifty yards from
the Grenada and Greensboro road near
EppersOn creek, ana about four miles
from this place. There was also found a
pocket knife, small pocket mirror, a
cuff button, some of his clothing, short
lead pencil and lock of hair, which is a
light auburn, also pair of coarse VOL
len hose, and two No. thirty-two center
fire cartridges. His hat had washed some
distance down small rivelet which he
lay near by, the hat is navy blue rather
low crown. None of the teeth were
missing, the lower front teeth were Tapped
over and projecting at the corners. the
lower first two jaw teeth Zone on each
side(ara plugged with amalgam: also two
OF the upper jaw teeth and one of the
front teeth are plugged. His pants are
grey doeskin jeans, the coat is dark
cashimer, so is the vest. The skeleton
was found by some negro boys who were
hunting pine, The affair has no other
appearance than that of foul murder and
the general supposition is that the de-
ceased was an Irish peddler and was
murdered for his money and his pack of
goods. Justice s. H. Roberts held an in>
qlfestand the jury decided that the un>
known person came to his death by vic.
lence from unknown hands.

The eye OF the morning opened so
gently and bright, with ldstre kindling
as the sun came climbing over the hills,
scattering genial warmth over the vernal
landscape, burthened with the fragrance
of flowers, when the infant life OF little
Thomas, on Tuesday last, was quenched
in the rayless gloom of the grave, after
six months of caresses and love by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Shelby,
and the kindly household of Miss Mag
yie Poitevent, of Grenada.

This has been good week for farming,
and the clod-hoppers have used it man
fully, as few OF them have taken time to
come to town to enquire about the
foreign or domestic news. To-day the
last of the week, they will come in for
rations, from peck to barrel of meal,
from three pounds, to a side of meat.
To such, has farming dwindled in this
part of the State. Instead OF driving in
here every Saturday, with a few hams or
middlings, a wagon load of corn or hay,
a small fat yeariing or pig to sell, as
farmers of thrift should, they come in to
buy on credit, the very subsistence of
life for themselves and teams.

A new double storied brick house, in
tended fo. busineis, fifty-two feet square,
will soon present its handsome front on
the lot of Mrs. Weyneth, on Green st.
We admire the spirit OF Mrs. w., and
have no donbt, but that it will prove an
enterprise of profit, as well as pride.
There is yet room for building, which
we hope will multiply anent the hard
times, until Grenada becomes Il center
of attraction for the beauty of her build
ings, as well as the grit and misfortunes
of her people.

If we have heretofore failed to call
attention to the Manufacturers Record,
published in Baltimore, by Bigsby &
Edmonds, it is not because it has not
deserved it, nor because, we have not
found pleasure and instruction in pc,
rusing its ample and well filled pages. 1t
is publication that commends
itself to every, thoughtful, progressive
Southern man. 1t is, in word, a COM
plete synopsis of the development of all
the industries Of the South, presented in
choice English and on most substantial!
facts. 1t is weekly encyclopedia OF
Southern interests in all their varied

On Saturday last, a large fat buffalo
fish was exhibited in this town, without
any mouth; and the only thing that ap-
proximated such an organ, was small
valve where the nose should have been.
The fish had received at some time in
its life, severe blow, that carried off its
entire mouth, just below the eyes, which
gave it a singular, and rather revolving
appearance. How it received its food,
unless through the gills, was the question
of the spectators. Otherwise than this
disfguration it was all right and seemed
healthy and hardy as any other of the
same sort.

of pullet in the market, laying eggs,
and we thought that she was not only
remarkably precocious but fecund.
Now Judge Willkings is on hand
