Singular Method of Discovering a
Drowned Body.

Weare informed by Mr.. J. Buchanan,
the uncle OF the young girl, Miss Kate
iruper, who drowned herself in the
Mississippi River by jumping fom the
bluff in Fort Pickering, that her BODY
Was recovered yesterday afternoon be-
tween four aud five o'clock, and was i'm
mediately buried in Elmwood Gene
terry. The body was discovered by the
following strange incident. 1t appears
that "A young man employed in Mars
teard' brewery felt confident that the
body had lodged in the bottom of the
river at APPOINT about one hundred and
fifty or two hundred yards below where
she had JUMPED in, and that by keep
ing constant watch 1t would make its
appearance. He had been led to this
conclusion BY the movement Of loaf of
bread which, three days after the
drowning occurred, and when every
other effort to recover the body had
neeh IN vain, was loaded with GUAM
wy OF quicksilver, and set afioat near
where the girl threw herself in. As
strange as 1t may seem, the bread direct
ly foated out to the same point in the
river, and instantly sunk where the
body made its appearance Yesterday
lhe young man, induced by the liberal
reward OF one hundred dollars, which
mad been offered for the recovery of the
body, patiently bided his time. keeping
constant watch nearly the whole OF the
ume, night and day. Yesterday. the
ninth day after he had seen her drown
herself, and within about fifteen min
utes OF the same time of the occurrence.
he was suddenly startled by hear.
ing an explosion in the river like OF
a shell bursting in tile distance, and on
looking around, saw the body rise to the
surface, just where the loaf of bread
had disappeared six days ago. This is
sndled 2 strange phenomenon.- Nem-
