Talk on 'Change-Wenther, etc.

The close of 1856 was attended with the wettest
kind of weather, which is well known to our citizens,
and was something Of topic for remark on change
yesterday In advance of transient visitors who have
made their first entry into city this season, and
who will be writing North of the puvious state of
affairs it is well enough to remark that such weather
as we have had for week past is preferable to snow
two or three feet deep, and the thermometer five to
ten degrees below zero.
The steamboat landing however, is overburthened
with produce and merchandise are detained
from day to day-saes and deliveries of large guam
titles obsructed but drayage has not yet reached
one dollar per bale for cotton it did years ago.
when Camp street both sides from Poydras to Canal
was occupied by General Palfrey as a cotton yard,
and the streets conceded to him for rolling cotton for
shipment and drays rendered useless. So those who
are now SO free in their complaints of the weather
and the condition of the streets, reminded that
they are not so bad they have been, might be,
though do not intend to exonerae contractors for
repairing streets from censure, many Of the high
ways might be kept in much better order than they
are.
The teIegraphic accounts from the West are wide
apart in the condition of navigation. Some accounts
that the rivers rising, others that they
blocked with ice and impossible and as they so
conflicting, We must refer to our feelings, and con-
clude that there cannot be much ice making this
warm weather: that there will be daily arrivals Of
boats for several days to come consequently Western
produce will continue in fair supply and traders from
Alabama, Georgia and Texas need not defer their
purchases for a decline in prices. The foreign and
coastwise freight market is heavy and lower rates
have been acceded by vessels partially loaded, as

months ago found dead in his room after retiring the
night previous in good health. The physicians re-
ported the of his death be congestion OF the
heart, and the coroners jury returned verdict in
cordance Herewith. The body OF Mr.. Shepard was
placed in receiving vault, preparatory to its final
interment in the family burial ground. A few days
ago Mrs Shepard ordered the remains of her deceased
husband to be taken from the vault, but those en-
ployed for the purpose were horrorstruck on finding
the body removed several iaet from the coffin, the
shroud torn into shreds and covered with blood civ
ing the impression that Mr.. Shepard had only been
lying in trance, and had recovered after being
placed in the vault This seems almost too horrible
for belief, and 1 understand that relation of Mr..
Shepard denies the truth of the report and asserts
that such could not have been the case from the fact
that the body was packed in ice for over two days
previous to its being placed in the vault. On the
other hand, there are those who contend that Mr..
Shepard was not dead at the time of placing his body
into the vault and that certain facts possession
OF the family which go to show the truth OF their as
sertions.
