the heel of her boot in the projecting foot of

CoRoNER's INoUEsT.-Coroner Gould was
called upon yesterday to hold an inquest on
the body of man, picked up yesterday
morning in the water at the South end of
Vaugahn's Bridge. Although the features were
mutilated, the body was easily recognized as
that of Mr.. William Hall, an Englishman, who
has long resided here, and whom many of our
citizens will remember for the melody he, years
ago, created in our streets, in singing ''Sweep
o." when he followed the vocation of chimney
sweeper.
Mr. Hall has been missing since the 15ih of
October, on which day he paid visit TO the
camp to see two of his sons who had enlisted
In the 25th regiment. 1t is supposed that on
returning he accidently fell into the water,
and the verdict of the jury was in accordance
with that supposition In addition to the two
sons in the 25th, Mr.. Hall had two other sons
in the 18th Maine at Ship Island.

DEATH OF SoLDTER.-A. w. Sylvester,
of Waterford, aged about 20 years, a private
in the 7th Maine regiment, died rather sudden
ly Thursday morning at the City Hotel. He
had been in the Philadelphia hospital since
June, sick with chronic diarrhea. Saturday
last he arrived in this city and put up at the
City Hotel, where he had one of the best
rooms, and every attention was paid to him
by Mr.. Dodge the landlord. He was not sup
posed to be dangerously ill, but on Thursday
morning, on going to his room to call him, he
was found to be in dying condition, and in a
short time he expired. The deceased COM
planned much of the treatment he received at
the Philadelphia hospital. His father came
yesterday to convey the body to Waterford.
So altered were the features that he was un-
able to trace any resemblance of his son.
