ZOU WATKINS FOUND.

The body of the unfortunate girl, Zou WATKINS, has at last been found in the river. Whether the deceased committed suicide or lost her life by an accident, will probably never be decided. When she was found her features were so swollen that she could scarcely be recognized, having lain in the water for nine days. No marks of violence were found upon her body. It appeared at the inquest that she had no aquaintance worth mentioning, and it seems almost incredible that she should have taken her own life. The remains were buried in the Bellefontaine cemetery on Thursday at 3 P.M. Zou WATKINS was not yet 15 years old.
