INOUEST


Yesterday morning Coroner Nelson held an in
quest over the body of a negro named Isaac West,
at No. IA Edward street. West was very dissipa-
ted, and on the evening previous had gone to his
home very much intoxicated. He Law upon the
floor during the light and froze to death. The jury
rendered verdict of ''death from freezing super
induced by intemperance.'
Some days since woman named Lingenfeldter,
living at &c Mulberry street, lost two children by
death, which some of the persons in the house
thought had been caused by foul means. Informa-
tion was given at the Middle station, and policeman
Robinson was directed to notify Coroner Greentree
to summon jury of inquest. Accordingly last
night jury was summoned to meet at o'cock to
investigate the matter.
From the testimony elected from three or four
persons who lived in the same house, it was shown
that Mrs. Lngenfeldter was in the habit of getting
drunk, and that she neglected her children very
much, and did particularly on the day mentioned.
Mrs. l.. gave very contradictory accounts to
the mode of death of the children, which led to the
holding of the inquest. The jury in consideration
of the evidence adduced, rendered verdict "that
the children came to their death from natural
causes, and through the neglect of their mother

THE WEBSTER STATUE A LA WENDELL PHuLIPs.-
Ridicule and sarcasm are sometimes more potent
than argument. The celebrated London Punch, in
1850, put end to the abominabe funeral extor-
tions, by showing picture of the hired mourners,
half drunk in gin shop, after the nterment of the
dead. In the first number of Vanity Fair our New
York Puneh, the absurd heroizing fold John Brown
is admirably hit off by a sketch embodying Wen
dell Phillips idea of the late Ossawattomie Pow
ers bronze statue of Webster, which stands before
the Massachusetts State House is decapitated. The
massive head of the great statesman-in just pro-
portions with the broad shoulders, whence it has
comedies at the base of the statue, and in its pro-
per place is substituted the long drawn, narrow
head of Old John Brown. Instead of the Ms. of
the Constitution, or some eloquent oraton on the
Union, in the right hand, we see a revolver; while
the left hand holds bundle of pixies in lieu of the
strong-bound fdsces. Beneath is the following le-
gend: 'The Webster statue, after design by Mr..
Wendell Phillips" The appropriateness OF that
peculiar, small, narrow copat of John Brown to the
broad shoulders of Webster, is only equalled by
the love to man displayed In the cooked revolver
and the murderous pikes.-N Y. Journal Of Com
merce.

A SwINDLE.-M. C. Williams the individual who
swindled the Allegany Bank out of 81 900 some
months since, has turned up again. and under cir
cumstances which show him to be most consum-
matea and accomplished rascal 1t appears that after
leaving here he fed to Corunna, Michigan where,
under the name of J. c. Wallace, he opened a
banking house, and for a time did large and
paying business. In October he left for Detroit,
under pretence Of attending to some business mat,
ters there, carrying with him all his money, and
81, 800 besides, which he had contrived to obtain
from certain of his Corunna acquaintance. In De-
troit he waited upon number of brokers, and the
officers of two banks, and made a raise in
the aggregate, of some $4,000, with which he de-
camped He returned to Pittsburg and remained
there a few days and then decamped no one knows
where, without having been recognized by the
police during his stay. While in Pittsburg he sent
$50 to a widow lady in Corunna, who had made
deposit in his banking-house to that amount, and
who, he stated, in note which accompanied the
money, he was not rascal enough to rob- In another
letter to the editor of one of the C0runna papers
he admitted himself thieI and swndler but iusti-

Southern gentlemen, had been robbed by abolition
lists, and that what he had done was prompted by
spirit of revenge and retaliation. A third letter

surprise complete, and seven of the Virginia
company were killed, and afterwards buried in a
lot on the farm of Andrew Wood. boy, six
years of age, named Barndolar, was present at the
funeral, and he is now resident of the neighbor-
hood Nearly all the money for the building of the
monument has already been raised, and in a short
time after the laying of the cornerstone it will be
erected.

MNuFAcrURE OF ALEnNUM.-A French artisan
has invented a new and perfect method of soldering
aluminium. He employs a solder made of zinc and
aluminium, and uses five kinds, differing in hard
ness. To prepare the solder, he breaks up the au-
minum into small pieces, and melts it in black
lead crucible, by putting it in little by little, and
when the aluminium is melted it is stirred with an
iron rod, while the zinc is added in small quantities
at time; it is still stirred while little tallow is
added to prevent the oxydation of the zinc and it
is cast into small bars for use. The heat must not
be sufficient to drive off the zinc in vapor and the
zinc should be free from iron. The five kinds of sol
der melt at different degrees of heat. Number one is
hardest, the others are softer in succession The
soldering bolt ought not to be of iron or "copper"
but of aluminium itself: for the solder sticks to iron
or copper sooner than to aluminium. Another nov
city in this branch of manufacture is aluminium

EXTENSIVE FRAUD UPON RAILROAD CoMPANY.-
The Rochester Union states that the officers of the
Great Western Railway, in Canada, have been en-
gagged for some time past in trying to discover the
authors of game of fraud, which has been extern
sivey practiced, to the pecuniary loss of the Com
pany. This Company, like all other Western
roads, sell coupon tickets through agents in all the
Eastern cities. These tickets are furnished to the
agents, numbered and charged to them. When
sold, they make returns to the general agency, and
the tickets they have sod when taken up from pas
sengers are returned also, punched or cancelled by
the conductors. Some eight hundred tickets val
ued at $4,000 every time they are used were miss
ed-did not come up from the conductors after the
local agent had made returns upon them. This fact
excited suspicion, and led to an investigation
What was done, and who did it, need not be stated
but suffice it to say that the fraud traced to en-
ployees of the Company-co conductors being the
chief men in the matter. These conductors had an
understanding with certain cheekmen, who travel
on the Central road from this city to Suspension
Bridge, that they should sell tickets from the bridge
to Detroit, to such passengers they might find in
the cars who wanted them. Indeed, we believe
these checkmen were authorized to sell tickets
by the Company, but they did not always sell the
tickets which they received from the office. They
received tickets from the conductors which then
took of passengers and did not cancel by the punch
and resold them. 1t is impossible to tell how much
has been realized by this fraud to the perpetrators
They may have sold the tickets ten times over and
received full fare every time. They never sold at
reduced rates at al-this would have excited sus
picion sooner
