temher u October s; November II !; Deccnl-
Der 5. In 1857 there were 1O5 issued and
like number in 1856. The number Of licenses
issued, however, does not indicate the num-
in a year, as numbers pass over the line into
Pennsylvania, by which means, the price of
the license ($4.50) is saved. There is an old
law imposing a heavy fine for this olIense,
besides which, as such marriages are not legal
difficulties about property might arise to eff
feet the interests of children in such cases.

DEATH OF MRS z. WOOD.

TIE city was shocked yesterday to learn that most
estimsble lady Mrs. Wood, wife of the Mayor elect
of New-York, had just expired. She died at an early
hour in the morning. while her husband was absent IN
Washington. Mrs Wood was a daughter of the late
judge Richardson of Auburn, N. Y, and about 80
wears of age She leaves seven children-three boys
named Calhoun, Joseph, and Fernando, and three
Girls. and babe but two three days old. The ex-
element superinduced by the success Of her husband
was probablytoo much for her feeble health 10 endure
By those who had the pleasure of her acquaintance,
Mrs. Wood lie spoken Of as woman of most ex-
emplary character whose gentle, loving nature was
almost the only restraint to which her mpetuous and
selfwilled partner ever yielded.
In this sad bereavement, doubt not that friends
and foes viii instinctvely accord their sympathies to
him, whose cup of bliss has suddenly been dashed
with the btterest woe that man can ever know. Mrs
Wood.died at her residence at Boomingdale, whence
her funeral will take place on Monday next at ii
o'clock
The Boards Of Aldermen and Couneilmen met yes
terday to take action in regard 10 her death. The
virtues of the deceased were extoed resolutions con-
doing with the family adopted, addresses sympa-
thizing with Mr.. Wood were made, and both Boards
resolved to attend the funeral.

police arrangements for fire were admirably carried
out, ard the fremen had plenty Of room, the crowd
being driven completely out Of the way on Wooster

Apprehensions being entertained that the FIRE would
again break out, the engineers ordered an Engine
Company TO remain on the ground all night.

FABULOUS PRICES FOR CATTLE.-When Samuel
Thorne was SO bold as to pay 5000 for Mr. Bodens
famous bull Grand Duke, the Short-horn world were
amazed at his temerty; but it seems that our English
friends, having learned from American the market
value Of their stock, have profed by the lesson to
some purpose. The bull Butterfly was sold by Col
Towneey to an Australian breeder for Il and he
has proved such favOrite in that country that SINCE
his recent untimey DEATH other parties nave offered
the enormous sum Of E2Oc0 10000 for full brother
of his, which was cooly refused by the agent of COL
TOwIeey. If things go on at this rate it viii soon
Be profitable for Governments alone to own a Short
horn bull. There is reason in all things.
