FOUND DEAD. - The dead body of a man named Allen McPherson was found
upon the platform of the pump at the White Hall Hotel, in this place,
at an early hour on Saturday morning last.  The deceased was subject
to falling fits, and at the time of his death was suffering with
diarrhea, and having occasion to get up at an unseasonable hour, it is
supposed that he was attacked with one of his fits, and no one being
near to aid him, he died where he had fallen, such at least was the
verdict of the Corners inquest.  We did not learn what disposition was
made of the body in the way on interment, nor whether or not he was a
man of family, but presume he was a single man.
