BODY FoUND.-Yesterday morning, about
eight o'clock, Mr.. Coburn, who was standing
near Calls Wharf, perceived body which had
been left exposed by the tide in n nearly up
right position, imbedded in the mud at the foot
Of the dock. He fished the body out and dellv-
cred it to Coroner Gould, who had it placed in
the Eastern Cemetery for identified ion. Some
time in abe afternoon the body was identified
as that of Howard Farrar, young married
man, q years old, who has been missing about
nine weeks. Our readers will remember that
about that date we spoke of cry and a sudden
plunge near Calls Wharf. 1t was at that time,
undoubtedly, that Farrar came to his death.
The body was very much disfgured and was
only identified by the clothing, and by the mu-
tiated condition Of the fingers of the left hand.
DR.. True was, by request of the relatives, call
ed to view the body, but found no marks of
violence upon it. Under the circumstances
Coroner Gould judged an inquest to be uunec-
essary, and only source of expense to the
CITY.
