Nothing else wis foead on WO person me rouruerru inau; but in looking around we foend silver lan-nt case, sad an old lancet in it, which has induced us to think the man a doctor. No trace of an other garments were found, no horse, buggy, cr other travelling apparel. Tbe impression of a horVi foot was found going up a trail in the gorge of the moentaio. The shoe were otT, and no socks were on.

The man was certainly killed by some oot-) or robber, and left there to be eaten by buzxards and worms. Tbe sight was horrible to behold, and mar we nerr see the like again. Tbe body we took and bn Hed beside the mountain road, after aeeing the neighbors; and oear the spot where we found it, lies the ist of the nnrorrnnste man, whoever he was. with a small stone to mark it, with the letter roughly carved on it The grave can be found near lhe top uf the IpOr of the Blue Kidge, nmcd Nantihala, on the Franklin tide. The belief here ia, thai he was a Georgian, as a man suiting the description (except the nam?) passed aioog about that time.
