a Cold Ssap-Forrest aad Bsyast--A Pas-
ic-Csstef Public Schools rookiyn asd
Jersey City- Coroner Greer.
NEw YoRK, Friday, Jan. 16.
A cold and wintry day makes us pay for
the comfort we enjoyed yesterday, ami the
comparatively spring-lke temperature which
attends January thaw," has mysteriously
disappeared.
In the Forrest case, to-day, the poet Bryan,
was calasd up for the defence. wag truly
says that the case is trial ofalI the acquain.
tences Of both parties, and it seems to be so
cure enough.
Another school house panic occurred to-
day at the scene of the late disaster in Green
witch Avenue !; few boys having thought
lessly raised cry Of fire, which alarmed the
children anew. Luckily, the teachers sue
cteded in closing the doors, and prevented a
repetition Of the catastrophe of December.
The Public School Society have published a
statement of the expenditures upon the schools
under their charge, during the past year the
the expenditures of the kindred society, the
Board of Education, and the cost OF the Free
Academy. The aggregate will probably ex-
coed q quarter of a million of dollars.
The Merchants Exchange is again under
the hammer of the Sheriff. 1t 10 10 be sold al
public auction on the 10th Of March next The
sale results from suit against the company
81 owners the plaintiff being Mr.. James G.
King. - ~ -
Inc Custom House fraud, to which alluded
IN former letter, is traced to Custom House
broker, who is charged with forging orders
and invoices to a large amount. The sigma
tnres Of the Collector, Naval Officer, Invoice
Clerks, inspectors, Appraisers, &c. &C., have,
IT Is said, been counterfeited with success
The forger has made his escape, but the name
has not heen divulged. This will make more
work for the lawyers, and offer another Tempt
log opportunity to fleece Uncle Sam by exhor-
bitant charges.
Broolyn, our smart neighbor, having pretty
nearly settled her mind in favor of water
works for her people, her example has been
followed IN part by our other excellent neigh
boz, Jersey City. II is stated that supply of
100000 gallons daily can be obtained with
600. By-and-by NewsYprk herselfwii feel
compelled to move in behalf of more extern
sive supply than the Croton affords US.
The Gas Companies, at least that which
docs" the illumination of downtown wards
and people, have not done their work properly
nor promptly. The population grumble and
they have good reason to do So
A new steamer, to run from New York to
Hartford and another, TO run in connection
with the Camden and Amboy Railroad, are
constructing at Hoboken.
Ii is said that Coroner Greer has determined
to resign the office. The Common Council
some time since investigated certain grave
charges against this City official, and he has
deemed It proper to withdraw from public life
for the present 1t is alleged against Mr..
Greer that "a few extra thousands ofthe nubics
dollars have vanished in curious manner in
the course ofhis administration. How far the
truth goes, no one knows.
