the body was not identified by any of the spec
tators, and all the efforts OF the jury 70 get any
clue TO his name or occupation, We're futile.
THE CANAL.-Business Is extremely dull on
the canal now, and the arrivals Of boats are
few and far between. II is reported by the
boatmen that the old leak al WeayertoL, where
the last break on the canal Occurred, has again
reopened, and that probably delays the boats,
which should now be arriving. Other reports
state there is a break at the Stone Mills, about
IS miles above here; but nothing definite is
known at the Collectors office.
