STRANGE AFFA1R.-William Thalh elmer,
a resident Of 18th street. was summoned before the
Mayor yestesday, to show cause why he should not
be fined for permitting two human bodies to be bu-
ried on his premises, in violation of city ordi-
nance. The evidence proved that in February
last servant woman belonging to the accused lost
two infants which were buried in her masters
backyard Office Tyler, on examining the prem
ses Monday afternoon, found part of two human
skulls, three leg bones, and one or two RIB
bones, which had been buried in the yard
Thalheimer did not pretend to deny that the
negro children had been inferred in his back
yard but stated that at the time of their burial the
ground was covered with snow, and that the hus
band of his negro women deposited them there, to
be removed when the weather moderated and he
thought they had been taken away. The informa.
ton was given to the Mayor by Fl. Saal, neighbor
of Thaiheimers, who learned the facts of the case
from a servant. The examination was adjourned
over until this morning, at the request of the
cused who desired to introduce one or two wit

In ord or 70 ASCERTAIN the extent of cholera among
the blacks we called on Mr.. George w. Ioier, OF
the Arm of Toler & Cook, who hire out about nve
hundred negroes, and learned from Mr.. L. that
but one single case of cholera had occurred among
the servants under their charge and that one, he
could readily trace to great imprudence ON the
part of the servant. Mr.. William Gouldin, who
has some five or six hundred negroes under his
charge has had but one of cholera in that large
NUMBER Mr. C. P. Word, who works number OF
negroes has had but one case--an old, Incorporate
man, who is rapidly recovering. And Messrs
Hatcher g. Webster, who also have large number
of servants in their employ, have not had single
case. We mention the above named gentlemen,
because we met them and made enquiry as to the
condition Of their negroes. There may be others
who have been less Fortunate but if that be SO, we
do not know the fact.
When disease can be traced to excessive impru-
dence we think but fair to say so, that the public
at large may take warning thereby. The cry OF an
epidemic is not very apt allay fear, nor will 1t
have tendency to abate the disease; but let the re-
suit be what it may, whenever are satisfied that
an epidemic is in our midst, we shall frankly say 30,
regardless of consequences, but we shall make no
such statement upon mere rumor.
