and it was even said that splash and death
struggle had been heard in the water. The sequel
to the sad tale so far the unfortunate woman is
concerned, was developed yesterday morning.
Her body was found floating in the river near the
foot OF Sycamore street, and recognized as the pas
senger upon the Louisville packet. An inquest
was held, and verdict that she came to her death
as above, recorded From the circumstances sur
rounding the case it is inferred that she was the
victim of heartess scoundrel who, after he had
lured her from her home, baseIy deserted her.
That she was not yet hardened to guilty course
the despair which caused her to stiae remorse in
death, is proof.

the crackers for wheels; they made necklaces of
them and strung them around their necks, and used
them for epaulettes, and every other imaginable
way that they could be used, to show their ndig-
nation. At length the excitement was so great
that the officers became alarmed, and attempted to
stop them, but it was of no use. The men only
howled, hooted yelled and groaned at them, and
pelted them with crackers; but they finally queted
down and went to their quarters swearing that hey
