UNION HALL

A few days ago the firm of Metsrs. Chrystie, bat manufacturers
of lkrutoodsey, discovered that immense quantities of their pro-
perty was stolen. On the discovery every method was used for
the purFose of detecting the offenders, and it was at length ascer-
tained that a man named Bowler, a watehouseman in their service*
and wbu had filled the situation for a great number of years,
was concerned in the robberies of his employers.
Amongst the witnesses who attended to give evidence against
him, upon which he was finally committed for trial, was another
warehouseman. named John Healy Franks, who had been in the
employ of Messrs. Chrystie for twenty years. This individual,
whOse evidence against the accused was important, a few days after
the committal of Bowler, was himself suspected of having been
engaged in rubbing his employer, and on investigation it was also
discovered that he was concerned with !lowlier, and had disposed
of several hats without accounting to those by w►om he was em-
ployed, and on Saturday be was also taken into custody, and
brought to this OfSce:
As there were a great many cases against the prisoner, three out
of the number were selected to prove, by which it appeared that it
was the prisoner's duty to take charge of, enter, and sell bats he.
longing to the firm. The individuals who bad purchased the hats
of the prisoner attended, and proved that they had bought the
hats ; and several witnesses belonging to the manufactory were
exsuained, who identified the bats as the property of their etas•
'doyen, and that the prisoner bad made no entry of the property
he bad thus disposed of, or accounted for the money be bad re-
ceived for tbetn.—.Tha prisoner was committed on the three cases.

At the last sitting of the Royal Academy of Medicire
in Paris, a report was made of the death of in indivi-
dual in the Hospital of Amiens, in the right ventricle
of whose heart was found, upon dissection, a small bone
tooth-pick. How long this substance bad been there
was not known. The patient died suddenly, but the
tooth-pick did not appear to have been the immediate
cause of his dissolution.
NOVEL MODE ON Kuzma APPLaa.—During frosty
weather, and for some days after a complete thaw, keep
the apples in a state of total darkness. In America,
apples are frequently fir um as hard as stones; if alter
,this they thaw in the light, they will inevitably rot ; out
when the above precaution is adopted, they remit
sound and lose little of their original Ravi ur. This may
appear strange to the English reader, but be may never.
theless depend upon its correctness.
A very animated discussion took place a few days
ago at a sitting of the Paris Royal Academy of Science,
on the fever st Gibraltar. M. Lassis read a note on the
subject, in which he complains that the French Govern-
ment have selected for their commission of medical sus
to Gibraltar only the partisans of the contagion and in.
fiction doctrine. He contended in his note, that the
diseases called yellvts fever, pique, and typhus, do n:t
differ in principle fr m the common bilis us and putrid
fevers; and that the great disasters which thty cause
are to be attributed solely to what are called sanitary
precautions. In the opinion of M. Lassis ti,e most
effectual mode of getting rid Lf the fever would be to
abolish all these precautions,
