f.ipinp i'm ITS Dead.

On last Saturday morning Mr.
JOHN LUproN, while at the wharf
boat, discovered the body of woman
floating in the river near the boat.
He at once went after, and landed
it near the foot of Grape street. DIR.
FRED. A. CROWLEY, the Coroner of the
county, was notified, and summoning
a jury proceeded to hold an inquest.
The body was that of young wo-
man of about twenty-five years of
age, and had apparently been in the
water five or six days. She was five
feet six inches in height; sandy hair,
had ON morocco shoes; yellow pop
lin dress, and a straw hat trimmed in
black. A white pocket handkerchief
was found in the pocket of her dress;
in one corner of which was tied a
copper cent. The handkerchief was
wrapped around two photographs,
one of an elderly man, the other OF a
Young man, and a letter. This lat
ter was the only means of identifica-
ton. 1t was written on rose colored
paper and was so much faded that it
was impossible to decipher the whole.

To his Lady friend Miss LAURA Rob-
ERTS.
This letter was written in good,
round business hand, and easily read.
There was no envelope on it, and it
could not be known to what post office
it had been sent. There were no
marks of violence upon the body,
and no signs of pregnancy. There
were rumors of foul play rife during
the morning, and witnesses were sent
for by the Coroner to inquire into
them. 1t is said that she came down
the river on Monday, and had been
seen during the week hunting work
in the city. 1t was also stated that
she started into the country, and was
seen no more. The witnesses could
swear to nothing positive and the
jury returned the following

VERDICT:

We, the undersigned jurors, i'm
panneled and sworn to inquire and
true presentment make in what man
ner and by whom the deceased, sup
posed to be LAURA ROBERTS, whose
body was found floating in the Ohio
River, opposite the city of Gallipolis,
on the 1st day of August, 1874, came
to her death, after having examined
the body and heard the evidence, do

death by accidental drowning.

The body was buried in the city
cemetery at three o'clock, eight hours
after it had been found. What the
cause of the rash act suicide) was,
it is impossible to divine. Coroner

InterminabIe Manuscripts.

Will the time ever come that the edi-
tor will cease to receive those heavy rolls
of manuscript only destined for his
waste basket? Alas, that so many
quires of paper should be wasted in the
ardor of SO many to rush into print !!
There may be many rustic Millions in
the world, and possibly as yet an un-
known Scott or Dickens, or hidden
Junius, but in vain we search through
the ink-spattered pages rushed in the
editorial sanctums for glimmerings of
these luminaries. It is a most grievous
thing to repress the efforts of these
would-be authors, but what is to be
done? Because they plead that they
thought we might want something to
fill up our paper, we are perforce
obliged to astonish the MUSES. with their
iargon, and cause the long deceased lit
erary men to fairly rise in their sepul-
chres in earnest protest against this
waste of time and paper. Must the ed
itorial fraternity be turned into lunacy
over a tale without a plot, or poem fer
tile in rhymes but absolutely devoid of
sense or metre? How can the excruciat-
ing torture of poring over long pages, al
most without end, of bad grammar, and
worse chirogrphy, be endured The
soul of wit-breyity-ha never entered
into these compositions. but the marrow
less ghost Of meaningless phrases is their
sole embodiment.
We propose that a hospital be estab-
lished for the cure of the malady of in
terminable and incessant scribbling.
There is great need of such an institu-
ton. Proper diet and regimen may
prove serviceable to some of these writ
ers. They must be toned down, cooled
of par0pacca1 Sl-Il
be required When their treatment
shall have succeeded in learning them
that two great things are requisite to
give them an authors just reputation
first, to understand fully what they are
writing about, and second to express
themselves in the fewest possible words,
consistent with sense and clearness-
then they may be turned loose. Then
no longer their rolls of manuscript will
appear, but modest and sensible commu-
nications instead.-Printing Gazette.
