intervals, when he takes excursions

abroad at night, but is seen in the

A fishing party that went from here
Tuesday to Pond river, near the rail
road bridge, pulled out Of the river
some very suspicious looking bones.
We saw Mr.. J. Il. Reynolds, who was
one Of the party, and he says he could
not tell positively, but thinks they were
the bones of child two or three years
old. The breast bone and ribs attached
were first discovered, aud after wards
other bones were found. The case
should be investigated at once. The
Coroner should go there and have the
river thoroughly dragged. an examina-
ton made, and II they are human bones
the matter should be sifted to the hot
tOm.- Echo.
