A strange kind of death is indicated by j the following paragraph from the Hamilton .Spectator:— An inquest was held last Sunday on the body of an old man ascertained by some documents found in his pocket to be named Rosa, a schoolmastor, recently occupied at Mr Edols's in tutoring that gentleman's children. The body wan found about 6ve miles froniColeraine on Konongwootong, but in ave.y advanced state of decomposition. The arpearance went to show that it must hare been exposed to the hot winds in an open gully for at least two or three weeks, and was shrivelled up and black. VarfliVf "Found dead." The unfortunate^ had evidently retired to the remote spot where the body was found for the pur. pose* of enjoying a drunken bout, as' several empty bottles were found alongside. Sunstroke was probably the cause of death. ' ■"-■> > <:
