Harley, and they h I'VE resided of late years
at Delphi, Ind. A few months ago Mrs.
Harley disappeared; search was made for
her. unsuccessfullr, and great excitement
prevailed regarding the matter in the vicinl-
ty. The Intelligencer mentioned the facts at
the time. From II letter received by Mr. a.
Barley, from Mr.. c. 5. Barley, we learn that
the remains of the unfortunate lady were
found, last Tuesday, IN a sand bar in the Wa
bash river, about a mile from Delphi, by her
brother-in-law, George Harley and Ned
Ballard. The remains were imbedded in the
sand, where it is supposed they have been
ever since she disappeared. But little flesh
remained upon the skeleton, but she was
easily identified by her teeth, and BY a gold
pin which still renamed fastened at the neck.
As distressing as are the circumstances 1t is a
relief to the friends of the lady to have GER
tainty substituted for the suspense under
which they have labored for so long a time.

The Sharon News has suspended and
its former editor and proprietor, NIL.
Sherry, will go to Minneapolis, Kan.

the reason assigned for the discontinu-

with the INDEX, this week, Mr.. sherry
said: There Is but one 40 acre tract of
land In the vicinity of Sharon that has
not been proved mp, and so there were
no more land notices to calculate on. "
In this connection we may mention
that there are several other papers In
this county that are ready to suspend
publication when ever the land notices
are discontinued. The editor of one Of
these papers recently remarked that be
expected to move his paper west or sell

not longer pay him To continue. In
stead, then, Of established newspapers.

when there are no more land notices TO
publish, lot Of excuses for newspa-
pers are given considerable share OF
this patronage. They can't live ard do
any good for the county or their CON-
munities after the notices are discon-
tlnued, and so why would It not be bet
ter TO encourage the papers that are
