Samuel Peters, of Union, w. Va, was passing
along the river bank in Forest Hill district,
near MERGERS salt works yesterday, he saw
a dog tearing some object with his teeth and
paws on the river shore, but the brute ran
away when Mr. Peters approached. Mr.
Peters made an examination, and found the
dog had been eating the corpse of female
infant, apparently about eighteen months
old. The body was nude, but near it was a
coarse woolsn stocking which had apparently
been on the baby's foot. The dog had eaten
sill the flesh off its lowtr limbs, but tho body
had not been touched. Justice of the Peace

ed within, at the most three days, as putre-
faction had hardly set in. There is no clew
to the identity of the child. 1t is believed
that it was drowned by some one who wished
to be rid of it, or that it fell into the river
during the high water of the carly part Of
the week.
