The Corpse of a Woman Found Ira the

Sound with Cut I'm the Neck.
AT high-water mark, on the shore of the
Sound, near Southport, Conn.,, Robert
Shepard, Francis Allen and Timothy Osborne
and a younger brother, all of Southport, while
cunning Oh the beach at the mouth of
the harbor, opposite the channel
beacon, di covered what appeared
to them to be log Of wood
partly covered with seaweed and driftwood.
Reaching the SPOT they found the object to
be the body of a woman which had recently
been washed up by the waves, and was very
much decompo5ed. The body lay on its face.
Nearly all the clothing was gone. There
were remnants of dark mohair dress and a
black cashmere sacque, velvet-trimmed.
Around the head and neck, tied in a hard
knot, was white woo!en nubia, the surplus
portions of which had been jammed into the
mouth and down the throat of the woman.
On the lett side of the neck could be traced q
wound inflicted with some sharp implement.
One foot was bar4; on the other was stock
ing and leather gaiter run down at the
heel. The appearance of the body indicated
murder, and that it had been floating in the
Sound ten or twelve days could not be
doubted. The view of citizens is that the
woman had been attached tosome one of the
numerous canal-boat tows passing up and
down the Sound that she was murdered and
thrown over uoard, an 1 that winds and cur
rents at last carried her to the spot where she
was found. She seemed to he of middle age.

The Commercial Drummer,

The commercial traveller" vulgar
ly known as the drummer" now
represents very important class in
this country, They furnish a vast
deal of bushes to the railroads and
an immense patronage to the hotels
OF the country. The number of New
YORK drummers is very large-there
are said to be fully 10000 of them.
VI course there are not so many AS
that on the road at one time, for GER
tain goods are sold at particular sea-
sons and the services of some of the
travelling statesmen are only required
for few months in a wear, The
drummeris generally a pushing, we'll
informed, plausible person. He must
be good talker and understand the
wares he is disposing of as well as the
pecullarities and credit of the mer-
chant he calls upon. So vast and so
well equipped is this army of COM
merciai travellers that there is no
longer any necessity for country
store-keepers to visit New York or
other jobbing centres. He is visited
at his place of business, wherever sit
uated, by swarms of drummers, who
keep him thoroughly posted as to
styles and prices. A good CONNER
ciai traveller is well paid and always
puts up at the best hotels and travels
in the saloon and sleeping cars. They,
OF course, are a heavy tax on the
houses that employ them, but with
the present machinery of trade they
are indispensable to the merchants
and jobbers who have goods to sell to
retailers outside the large cities. The
trade papers and the telephonic price
current. with the drummers' visit,
renders it unnecessary for the country
dealer to visit the great jobbing CEN
tire except for pleasure. Nor does he
want so much stock on hand, as he
can order his goods at short notice as
per sample shown to him by the
"drummers."
