a wound which must nccessarinly have been

[Special correspondence of the Gazette. 1
: Elkton, Mo., Nov. 30.—On Saturday
Edward Jones, an employe on the farm of
Hvlatid Marcus, living a short distance
from town, discovered a skeleton while he
was chopping wood. About three year» ago,
lie tells us, that he found a pair of pants
and u shirt ; two years latter a pair ol
gaiters were also found. AH of tbe«earticles
were but a very short distance from where
the remains of the dead person was dis
covered. The skull was brought to town
and left at Mitchell's drug More where
many viewed Jr. The remainder of the
bones weye collected arid carried to this
town, and ur«* now iu the law office of Dauiel
Bratton. The skeleton is of a full
grown person of medium height. Several
of the teeth have been extracted, and one,
we notice particularly, had been drawn but
a short time before the person died. Th
are many conjectures afloat as to Identity,
but none are definite. The hones arc well
preserved ; the skull is us clean us though it
hail been polished. There are révérai thin
places in the cranium, and the general
belief is that some crazy person has
wandered ofl and died. But, evidently there
is a mystery connected with it. Why Is it
that the shoes were one place, the clothes
HLOthermid the bv>dy removed some distance
from all of these. This is ono of the unan
swerable questions. If n sick person why
would they not have laid down with their
clothes ou f It would have hardly have
bean u tramp because it is such an out-of-the
way place, that but few visit the locality. It
