UNDER A SIDEWALX. A mystorious and singular cuse of denth was brought to light yestorday morning, after the bady bad lata for nearly a vear undor & aidewalk, wharo the deceased had crawled to die. A boy named Denjemin O'Connor, whilo plaving with gomo companions, ran under tho stono walk in front of No, 273 Eric ntreet, noar LaSalle, and was horror-strick on discovering the ghaatly slieloton of a man in & sitting posture, with tho back loaning against tho curb wall, Tho un- sightly framo was partially covored with some old and worn garnments.

Tho causo. of death has heon thoorized upen by thoso acquainted with tho discovery of the romeine. ~ Somo thivk the man shot” himself, from tho fact that tho -rovolver waa found on bim, but it is not likely that a porson who had fired tivo shots nt himself would tnke a witting posture afterwards, and coolly placo the re- volvor in his pocket. Othera say that decoased msw have been dragged, murdered, and robbed, and®on dragged to tho out-of-the-way place whore he was found. Others still ansort that decoased must hayo boon au intemporate man, and iu s fit of dolirium to hava taken all the chioral at oucs, which had been prescribed for bim o #small dases, This last wonld soen to be tho moat probablo thoory of any that hnve beon advanced.
