MORTALITY or TIE CITY.
The official report OF the City Inspector exhibits
a decrease Of eighty-fou- deaths during the past
week over the mortality of The week previous the
total number being five hundred and ninety seven.
This gratifying state of tho public health is due to
the real delightful autumna weather with which
We have been favored for some time past. Toe
cholera, which we had almSat began to think had
sixth Of the victims of disease In this city, has de
creased from one hundred and twentysx to eighty
six during week. Darrhas and dysentery have
also fallen off, there having been but twenty seven
deaths of the former and thirty Of the litter
siace the previous report. The mortality among

in the head carried of fourteen, cholera
infantum forty four, marasmus forty nine, and con

types fourteen CT Inflammation of the bowels, twelve

CouRT OF SESSIONS.
In this Court, yesterday, Bernard Herman was
found guilty OF mansIaughter in the fourth degree
for diving over and Killing child four years old.
He was recommended by the jury to mercy, and
Judge Beebe only sentenced him to pay fine Of
$50, and be imprisoned for twenty days. Accidents
Of this kind have become so frequent OF late that
severe examples are needed TO check reckless driv
ing. In this case the punishment inflicted on the
prisoner was richly deserved.
The September term OF the Ssssions--a long aud
laborious one-has been brought II q close. One
hundred cases have been disposed Of aud though
this heavy calendar displays a bmen.sble amount
Of crime il proves at the same time that neither
zeal or energy are wanting in the prope. quarters
