Tuesday, 29 November, 1870

         On the afternoon of Thursday, some boys hunting in the
       woods about two and a half miles northeast of the village,
       discovered the corpse of a man. The corpse was consider-
       ably decayed, the skull being bare, the head separated
       from the body, and the clothing partially rotted away,
       indicating that death must have taken place three or four
       months ago. A letter showed the name of the deceased to be
       MOONEY.
       
         Several of our citizens remember an old man wandering
       around here several weeks ago, who seemed to be somewhat
       deranged, and said his name was MOONEY. It is supposed
       that he wandered away and died from exposure and starva-
       tion, alone in the woods.
