their best comfort in staying at home.

Euatis who died on Tuesday night. The adjourn
rnent was to u o'clock to-day in order to enable the
bench and the bar at large attend the funeral this
morning
The FATHER or WATERS yields up bis dead, some
times, in the most startling manner. Yesterday, q
boy who was ont in skff on the river opposite the
Third District in search Of floating rifes in the way
Q! frewood, etc, found long covered box, taking
its way gently toward the Gulf. He stuck his hook
IN Il, towed it ashore, opened it, and vas horried to
discover the decomposed remains, almost the bare
skeleton, of man. He at once reported his dis
eovery to the police, and, in good time, Deputy
Coroner Weysham went down to investigate. The
corpse skeleton, was destitute Of fssh a naked,
glaHng sk5i, greeted the eyes Of the astonfshed BE-
holders; aeshless pair Of long hands were cIasped
across the breast and the rest Of the skeleton was
concealed beneath the decaying remains of a blue
nahhei shirt, bae cotOnade pants and woolen socks
4Is COX vas rough affair, one Of such as are made
on steamboats,, for the hasty burial of the frendess
dead along the shore and the only conclusion the
Coroner and bis 5ary could come to, was, that the
skeleton was that Of some steamboat hand buried in
the sand, long ago, some island or beach Of the
river, and washed out by the writhng and restless
food which seeks new channels yearly. 4 verdict
Of " found drowned" was rendered though found
afoata would perhaps have been better The Coroner
had the box of bones buried for good at an expense
Of nine dollars.
