The body of Col W. W. Hunter found.—The body of Col. Hunter, whose mysterious disappearance some two months since excited so much interest, and is still fresh in the minds of all, has at last been recovered. This we learn by a letter from Port Clinton, dated January 12th. The writer says: "It was found in old stable, on the premises of John Kelly Esq. Further particulars I am unable to give, as the Coroner has not yet returned, from holding an inquest on the body." It was represented by the mail carrier. A man was sent to the stable to get a fork, and in hunting for the same among some old straw, he discovered the body.—Sandusky Whig.
