coffin, Of medium size, but wheth-
.er its tenant had been q man,
woman or child, or whether white
or colored; was not ascertained.
The sofin is supposed to have
been inferred at some grave yard
near the river bank, and that the
gcasing banks, which now seem to
DC very prevalent above, threw it
into The stream. Coroner Foley
was notified Of the find" but be-.

. coffin had resumed its Journey

Later In the day still another
cofiin was observed to be floating

which would seem to indicate that
either a-whole burial greund or a
considerable section had succumb.
