The Human Remains at the Three Swings.
It is stated in this morning's " Cross " that the human remains found at the ThreeKings a>e those of an old vendor of prop*, named John Collins. This is a fiiction, at Collins is still plying his vocation inOnebung;< hale and hearty. Moreover, the remains found were those of a jyoung man, probably some poor friendless young fellow who had come out here to belter his condition or possibly sent out in consequence of habits of dissipaiioii, and who, overcome by illness while crossing the district, may have laid down and died. The mystery is one that may never be cleared up—perhaps one of the thousands ol cases where friends for years lament tin unknown fate of one dear to them.
