THE WYNOCKIE CHILDREN. The Mystery Solved by the Discovery of the Bodies of tho Children—They Aro Traced by the Crows, The mystery of the disappearance of the three chitdrea of Joseph Wybie, of Wynockie, in Passaic county, N..J., aud waich has occupied considerable public attenuon for some wees. was soived yoater- day moraing. ‘The information was brought to Paterson yesterday afternoon by Mr. Rusling, the enginecr of the New Jersey Western Railroad, and the exeitement caused in that eity by the intelli gence wes intense, the offices of the local journals bemg fairly besiezed and the street corners crowded by speculative gatherings, It seems ‘hat a man named William Ramsey, with ® companion, was walking through the wilderness yesterday morning, about two miles from the hut of the Wybies, when their attention was called toa large flock of crows ascending and descending ata point near tne footo!l a mountein, Proceeding to ‘the spot they discovered, near a large shelving rock, the three sost children of Joseph Wyble. Their bodies were considerab!y decomposed, but still recognizable, Their wan, pinched counte- nances gave unmis'akable evidence that their death had been caused by starvation. The bodies.of the two younger children were found under the shelter of the shelviag rock, while that of the oldest was found about ten tcet disiant, ‘Tue bodies were also sligntly insured by the crows. The vodtes were carefully carried to the homes of the parents, and were during the day visited by hun- dreas of neighvora, all of whom recognized in the Corpses betore them the three lost chiidren whose disappearance has caused such an excitement. Tuis now quite evident that all suspicions against the parents of murder were without foundation, Whue at the same time st 18 somewaat strange that, after the diligent searches made for the children and the large rewards offered for their recovery, they should be found within a distance of two miles from tueir home. POLICE TRIALS, Commissioner Manlerre yesterday heard ovidence in a number of complaints against oMcers.
