r. Some curiosity has been expressed
as to who were the parties who provided the rich
dagger as a present to his Imperial Majesty Faus-
tin l., of Hayti, which was lately noticed in our
columns We learn that this present was made
at the order Of foreign house having branch
here, which house had the honor of furnishing the
various imperial gew. gaws used at his Maesty's
coronation. This was not only an humble ac-
acknowledgement of the satisfaction and profit of
that commission, but a sort of invitation of fur

fragrant locality which has been in horrible con-
dtiOn all summer had its peculiar odors varied
yesterday with the rich eiluvia of decaying horse
flesh. On Monday evening two policemen brought
to the little park at that place an old horse whose
limbs hardly sufficed to get him thus far. During
the night, the horse died under the combined in
huence of old sge and the dreadful stencil of rum
and filth by which he was surrounded. All day
on Tuesday the defunct horse lay broiling in the
hot sun, and all night there emanated from the
carcase an odor that was suilocating, eyen-there.
Yesterday Mr.. Pease, of the Mission, after re-
peated efforts induced the authorities to take the
fragrant mass away, but not until the people had

ties stand ready to give large bonus for the priv
lege of doing so and is it true that the contract is
so stringent that man may be prosecuted By the
contractor for throwing dead cat into the river ;
