in the popping of crackers. The prettiest popping
of all, we may state was the cannonica salute fired
in honor of the day as the 23d of December, the
niversary of the the day in 1914 when Jackson and
his miscellaneous but brave little army checked the
Brtishers, at the Where plantation in their march
upon New Orleans
THE FUNERAL OF THE Hon. Ex.CHIEF JUSTICE
EusTrs yesterday morning, was the largest civic
funeral turnout, in which no societies took part
that we have seen for some years. The mourning
assemblage comprised the relatives and personal
friends of the deceased and far as we could judge,
the whole legal fraternity of New Orleans--iudges,
lawyers and a--besdes the students of the Uni.

As citizen, lawyer and a Judge, alike, the de-

his departure for the unknown land was honored
with the full respect and feeling which were his due
FIRE ON SHIPBoARD.-At four o'clock yesterday
morning, fire broke out in the hold Of the ship Re-
beCCa lying at Post 49, First District the contents
of the hold, consisting of cargo of sugar and mo
lasses, destined for New York. The fremen were
promptly on the spot, and backed by the steam
fire engine. Immense floods of water and some con
siderable time were necessary to the extingnishment
of the fire. for it was not till far in the afternoon that
it was got under. The extent of the damage we did
not learn; but whatever it may be, it is probably
covered by insurance. The ship belongs to Foster Il
Elliott, in New York.
A StcKENING DISCOVERY OF A DEAD MAN was
made yesterday, at No. 282 Tchoupitoulas street
The lower story is occupied as clothing store by
Charles Lauer; the upper part is occupied by Mr.
Lauers family; aad one of the small back rooms has
for the last five years been rented to an old German
named S. kaufman, peddler of cheap cigars, sta
tionery, etc. The old fellow only lodged in the room
and got his food elsewhere. About two weeks since
be disappeared; when last seen, he was drunk; and
as he was not regular at all times in returning to his
room, the people in the house never thought anything
of his absence. Yesterday afternoon, a servant in
the house, whilst sweeping off the gallery assaied
by dreadful scents from the old peddler's room. She
took close look through the window, and saw the
old man laying on his bed with his pants on and his
head hanging over the side. She could easily see
that he was dead and discover that the horrible smell
came from him. She at once alarmed the household
and all being horrOr-stricken none had courage to
break into the room
The Coroner was sent for; and he aud the jury
were the first to enter the room. Dreadful was the
stencil, when they entered the door From the APP
pearanCe of the body, aud its progress in decompos
ton it was judged to have been dead week or ten
days The City Physician not being Immediately
available, to make medical examination, the body
left undsturbed in its stenchy ROOM and the in.
quest postponed till to-day. We don't envy Mr..
Lauer the pleasure Of accommodating such tenant
as that OF the body of boarder, week or two dead
and uncofined.
