A few weeks Btnee we noticed tUo fact of the finding of a human skeleton in the woods nbout ten miles east of this place, by Mr. Henry Williams, and of the verdict of the jjjry of inquest, designating tlie skeleton as. the remains of a voting man by thejiame or Henry Mahorn, and implicntinq; David Wil liams, a son of Ijetyamin Williams, as his murderer.; The circumstances surrounding the case were strongly against the accused, as the missing young njpn was last seen, in this community, alrout a year ago, in compa ny with Williams, on their way to enlist iu the army as substitutes. ' , The accused, after an absence of a few weeks, returned home alone, stating that hig comrade, Henry Mahorn, had enlisted in the 10th regiment Missouri Infantry. This tpeared plausible at the time, anti Hetiry whom was almost entirely forgotten by onr citizens, until the finding of the skeleton in the woods. The 'suspicions of onr citi zens were at once jtrotised, from the fact that the clothing was identified as tho same worn by Mahorn when last seen. Their suspi cions that he had been foully murdered by Williams were much intensified by learning that his lather and family, living in Tennes see, had never heard from him from the time Ke left this neighborhood with Williams, to join the army, although diligent inquiry had been made, ■ to ascertain, if possible, his whereabouts. The supposed murderer was immediately arrested upon the tendering of the verdict of the jury of inquest, anti lodged in the county jail to await his trial. On Monday, the 15th inst., the prisoner was brought into coart before his honor, Judge Dull', on a writ of habeas corpus. The court proceeded with tlie trial, - The circumstances, as revealed by the evidence, pointed directly to the pris oner as the murderer of Mahorn, as the cloth ing found was identified as his; and that certain.teeth -which he is known to have had extracted in his lifetime were the identical ones found to be quilling in the jaws of the skeleton. In fact, the circumstances pointing to the uilt of the accused were so strong that nine-tenths of the citizens of this community were fully satisfied cd'his guilt. In the midst of the trial, imagine the ut ter astonishment of tlie court, counsel, wit nesses, the eager spectators, as well as the overwhelming joy of tiie prisoner in the dock, by the sudden appearance of Henry Mahorn, in propria .persona, in the court room, in full vigor of life, hale and hearty, From Brick Pomeroy’s La Cross Democrat.

When he went away it was with the intention of making sonic monish, if it took a'.i summer, and nobly did he fight it out on his line.

This case should serve as a lesson to ju ries, to be slow iu convicting qii purely cir cumstantial evidence.* It would lie more in accordance with the dictates of humanity that ninety guilty persons should escape the punishment of the li\\v than that one inno cent person should suffer uu ignominious death. This singularly romantic case which ap pears more like fiction than reality, has pro duced a profound sensation in this commu nity, for the almost universal opinion was that the accused was guilty. Indeed, we think had not Mithoni returned, or been ac counted for, that it would have been vefy doubtful whether a jury could have been ob tained in-the country that would have ac quitted him, iu view of the strong circum stances that pointed to bis guilt.

Itt order to con vince him still stronger that ha was dead and gone, a friend consented to disguise and stow himself away in another coffin close by, in order to watch tbesiffcct, and carry out, according to circumstances, tlie serious joke. Having got over his nap, the hero of tho story raised himself slowly in his coffin the next morning and looked around with no little wonder. Seeing the’other man in the same fix, he shook his muddy head and rubbed his eyes, and said: . _ ■ “ Hallo, stranger, can’t y oa give an item ?” “You? why, youVe dead and buried.” “ Yp.n don’t say so 1” “Yes, but you arc.” “Well, you are in the same bad snap, ain’t you ?” 1 “ Yes, I am gone too.” “ Poor fellow!
