Mr. Hiram Slauch
found remains up on Welsh
Mountain . The remains are
believed by many to be the human remains of an infant. Some however argue that
point, claiming it must be an animal. The head and limbs were gone but the
bowels were intact. An inquest is supposed to have been done, but as of This
Day in 1881, the examination has not yet been conducted.

Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress.
The Salisbury correspondent
also reported a “dull” tobacco market, as well as other crop related news. There
have been noticeable improvements in Clarksville .
A thick forest stood there just a few day ago. Now a growing village, including
a general store run by Daniel Clark, is in its place.
Mr. Sample White
reportedly died Friday of consumption. White was from Gap and had been sick
awhile. Just a side note: on a recent PBS special about tuberculosis (TB),
people used to call it consumption around that time.
Mr. S. F. Wanner
plans on moving west. He had a public sale, at which he sold off his farming
utensils and livestock. He also sold the furniture from his house.
