Found DRowNED.-We learn from
Colonel Thomas Hutchings, United States
boarding officer at Pass-a-pOutre. that on
Saturday morning last the body OF
drowned man was found by one OF the
customhouse boatmen, Mr.. Emanuel Robin
son, floating in the river about three miles
above Northeast Pass. The body is sup
posed to be that of the engineer of the tow
boat Gladiator, who fen overheard about
month ago.
The corpse, which was very much decom'
posed, was taken to; the woodward canal
and buried as we'll as possible. There being
no high ground, the body was laid on the
surface and covered over with grass and
pieces of small drift wood. Twenty cents
was found in the pantaloons watch pocket
of the deceased. There were no papers or
letters by which the person could be identl'
fed. Description: height, five feet six
inches; age, about forty; full face; had
five dots in India ink in form of star on
left forearm; clothing, pair pantaloons,
looked like Kentucky jeans; blue flannel un-
dershirt and blue dungaree jumper; pair Of
new morocco CATERS, about number sevens.
ALLEGED SLANDER.-We learn from the
Picayune that case was tried in the
Second Justice Court, corner St: Charles
street and Commercial alley, few days
apo-John II. Testard VS.. Mrs. Sarah Men
dez. It appeared that the defendant keeps
q private school in this city, and that plain
tiff sent his child to her for admission into
her school. Defendant refused to receive
it, alleging as reason that the child was
anegro, or had colored blood inits veins.
This suit was brought to recover damages,
and upon the trial it was clearly shown
that the child was purely white, and that
the Testard family had never before been
accused Of having colored blood in their
| veins.
It was held by the court that the words
used were; e thsnselyes, aetionAhae, and
Isswsslea - llaintif e1eo damages.
