HEALTH AND WEATHKR.-We are glad to be able
still to announce that the health Of the city con-
tinues excellent. The weather, though warm still,
was more pleasant yesterday, and we were re-
freshed abont mid day by delightful shower, for
loHed py q cool breeze which continued all the
evening. We think that we are safe in saying that
the worst Of the warm weather is ever, and that
the balance Of the season will be pleasant.

Friday night at the Orleans Hotel, on Chartres
street. Mr.. r. Eissenhardt, resident of st.

the rest of the skeleton would be found upon the
examination of the vicinity. The Coroner accord
ingiy proceeded to the spot indicated yesterday
morning. found the skull. and, on searching down
tine river bank for hundred or two yards, the
balance OF the skeleton. The flesh had been
entirely stripped from the bones by dogs or hogs
and they were scattered about in the mud for some
distance along the waters edge. Some clothing
was also found, which, from the coarseness of the
Udgefla, coroner DelleYe that the UnfOr-
tunate man was deck-hand or ieTee laborer.
Nothing was found which could add clue as to
the identity of the man; but the Coroner was in
formed that the negroes of the plantation had
informed the oyerseer that body was there some
ten days ago, to which he replied that it was none
Of his business if there was, and so left it to be
deyoured as mentioned above. An inquest was
held upon the skeleton, and verdict rendered in

A. SHOOTING CAsE.-On Saturday afternoon
about o'clock, shooting affair occurred on
board the tow-bOat st. Charles, now lying on the
other side of the river, below the 0pelousas Rail
road depot, in which q watchman of the tor-boat
Defiance, named Micheal Henly, was killed by
Capt. Henry Heidman, OF the ST. Charles 1t ap-
pears from the information we have received that
Henly went on board the st. Charles armed with
a knife, and threatened to kill Capt. HeidmaI, who
told him that he had better go about his business,
and left him. Heny, however, still followed tfie
captain, who went into the cabin TO get out of his
way, but at last finding himself in danger drew
his pistol and shot twice, each time wounding
Henly in the breast. The unfortunate man ex-
pired almost Immediately. The Coroner was sent
for and after holding inquest the body, re-
turned verdict in accordance with the facts of
the case, and made an affidavit of manslaughter
against Capt. Heidman, before Judge Fortier, who
admitted the accused to bail in the of $1,000.
STORE ENTERED.-Some burglars entered the
| feed store of Mr.. D. Blois, No. Front Levce, be-
| tween Ursulines and Hospital at half past 2
| O'Clock on Saturday morning, and attempted to
| blow open the iron safe. The noise made by the
explosion doubt frightened then, off, for on the
arrival of the watchman Immediately afterwards,
he found the store filled with smoke and the fumes
| of gunpowder, but no rogues. They no doubt
effected an entrance into the store by the aid of
large chisel, which was found near the door
COMMITTED FOR MURDER. Recorder Emerson on
Saturday concluded the examination of Dennis
Sullivan, charged with killing Barney Connolly on
\ the 4th ult After patiently hearing the evidence
which was very yoluminous, the Recorder fully

ALL's WELL. THAT ENDS WELL--The police oi
the First District on Friday night were astonished
to find some forty men all sleeping in company OF
| the levee, near the steamboat landing. Supposine
| them to be vagrants, the officers making the dis
coVery duly locked them up in the calaboose. Bu
it appears they were not yagrants, but travellers
on their way to Texas, who had come down the
| river on steamboat and intended to take the
O'Clock cars in the morning. The night being
warm and their quarters close on board the steam.
boat was the reason of their taking TO the leyee
On these facts being made known to Recorder
Emerson, he kindly released and sent them on then
way rejoicing, in time to take the train they orig
nally intended. We presume that whenever they
undertake to camp out again they will set watch.
/ VIOLENT THREATS. Mr.. James NJ. French, il
| seems, has been addressing some very plain Eng
lish TO Dr. James Elliott, in the way of threats Of
personal violence. which the doctor fearing would
be put into practice has made affidavit of before
before whom the case was brought, required Mt
! French to give bonds in the sum of $3.50, that he
had no intention of proceeding any further with the
/ doctor.

4 blue gingham shirt and blue cottonade pants; hai

A BAD GHARAcrER.-There is nothing in thi
world SO dsagreeabte to d man as q bad character
1t gives an unfortunate turn to every action of hi
life, even the most trivial, For instance: MI
Michael Stewart is SO unfortunate as to have
bad character and it may have been, as lie says
innocently acquired But the world in general
and Recorder Emerson in particular, do not be
lieye it, and therefore are down upon him. Hi
chances for the unrestricted enjoyment of thos
inestimabe benefits bestowed upon every citizel
by the Constitution, ' liberty and the pursuit o
happiness are tsma indeed. AS IN example o
his sniterings, we will state that occurred OIL
Saturday last. Owen Shannon, neighbor Of Mich
aeifs, lost coat. He insisted that it was stolel
by Michael, had him arrested, and brought before
| Recorder Emerson, bHt failed to prove ANYTHING
Yet because Miehaels character WAS had the Re
corder told him he would have to give security
| that he would behave himself, or he would sene
4 him to the Work House, Which to man Of Mich
ael's delicate sens:bties would be a dfeadfn
doom. He gave the security, and went his was
| with troubled mind.
Nor QuirE A SulcIpE.-An attempt was made il
the Parish Prison on Friday last by Edward Israel
confined there for murder, which certainly had tht
appearance of attempt to eouIrnit suicide bn
which, il ia thought, was only intended as joke
At any rate Israel gave himself an ngly scrntci
across the throat with razor, the pain of which
we imagine, viii prevent any such jokes or at
tempts in the future.
A DOUBLE DRAWING Mickey Walsh was mp be
fore Recorder Emerson day before yesterday, on
charge of having drawn knfc on Pat. 0'ITara
The drawing was proved and improved by the Re
cotder requiring Mickey to draw a five dollar bill
and deposit it t0r the good OF the State.
