[BY TELEGRAPH, —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Duxfdin, Monday. A heap of bones, all bleached with exposure, were fonnd late last evening on a ."and hill near St. Clair. They have been pronounced as the remains of a human being. There were portions of the backbone, small bones of the leg and arm, but none of the large limbs, and only a portion of the skull. The bones had evidently been lying where found for a number of years, having probably been buried about the top of one of the sand hills which are being reduced from year to year by the wind.
