CORONERs' INoUEST-An inquest was held
Yesterday evening at the Maryland ferry slip by
coroner Beach, upon the. body of a man found
floating in the river on the Maryland flats OPP
pusitc the Prince street wharf. The deceased
was dressed in soldiers clothes, and from pa
pers found upon his body it is supposed that
his name was David j. Dudley, and that he
belonged to Company NJ, 18th u. S. Artillery,
stationed short time since at Fort Foot. n
military pass dated November 9th, 1870, found
upon him afforded the only clue to his identity,
as the body was very much disfgured by fish
bites and by prolonged immersion in water. In
an inside pocket were found the photographs OF
two females. The jury, Of which Mr.. Orlando
Wood was foreman, rendered Il verdict OF death
from unknown causes The body was buried
in Penny Hill cemetery.
CAMERON DIsTILLERY. As will be seen by
reference to an advertisement in another column
of to-day Gazette, the Cameron Distillcry has
recommended operations. This distillery was
seized by the Government nearly Il year ago,
upon the alleged ground that its proprietor had
violated the internal revenue laws, but though
an examination before United States Commits
sioners resulted in his entire cxoneration, his
property was not restored to him until short
time since During the interval of suspension
the damage to the machinery was of course ne
cesSarily great, and heavy expense was re-
quired for repairs. Everything, however,
about the establishment has now again been
put in complete order, and the grade of liquor
manufactured there rules high in the market.
