dock at Central wharf. 1t had evidently been
in the water several months, and was much

boots and striped shirt. He had in his pock-
ct shilling piece and a copper coin. He had
weighed about 200 pounds. No one knows who
the man was, but it is suggested that he may
have been Amasa Smith, who was reported as
missing from the American House some
months ago, and who has never been heard
from. Mr.. Rich carried the body to the dead
house in the Western cemetery, where it can
be seen this forenoon.
P. SIT has been ascertained that the dead
