Coroner's Inquest.-We learn by sli,
from the New Castle (Del.) Gazette, that OF
Wednesday two ticrces were landed at lha
place from the Union line steamboat, on ac
count of the disagreeable odor proceeding
from them. They were opened and found tc
contain the bodies of three c0lored persons
two females and man, packed in straw. A
coroner's jury was summoned and the bodies
examined, after which they were buried in
one grave. The verdict. of course, was that
they came to their death by some means un-
known to the jury. The necks of the two
! females appeared To have been dislocated (:
the body Of the man bore no marks of vio-
Ience. piece of blue cloth was tied round
the great toe Of his right foot. and Il plain
brass ring was on the finger of one Of the fe-
males. They were probably intended as
subjects for some anatomical school.
