leans. The first was cold, wet and disagreeable,
to the extreme-the last cold, dry, bracing and
agreeable. 1t rained off and on all day Sunday,
and at night it cleared up and freeze took place.
Yesterday morning we saw the first ice Of the sea-
son in the cutters and mud puddles but as the sun
came out clear and brilliant, all signs Of ice soon
disappeared, yet as the wind blew strong from the
north, it was cold enough for heavy overcoats all
day. We have no doubt but that this cold snap
will cause considerable sickness in the way Of
colds, pleurisies and pneumonias, as the long con-
tinued warm weather which we have had has had
the effect of uniting eople fer such sudden
and violent change.
Sunday night must have been particularly hard
on that class Of people known as "vags'' and
found drunks," for their habtual beds--the gut
ters-were by no means as comfortable as usual.
We saw few at the lookup, and could hardly hold
from congratulating them upon their good fortune
in getting locked up.
SEHEsADE.-We were regaled with delightful
serenade last night by that exceedingly fine com.

ham. The soul-stirring strains of their band rang
out with thrilling effect in the cold, clear moonlt
air, and must have warmed up all who were for
tunate enough to be listeners. We return our

WEEKLY MoRrA to the report
Of the Board Of Health the mortality in the city,
during the week ending at o'clock on Sunday
morning, was II, of which 81 were children under
IL years of age, and two over 80; 80 were natives
Of the Southern Confederacy, 3 of the United
States, Of Ireland, and the balance scattered
over the four continents. This report shows a de-
crease of nine from that of the week previous,
and will compare favorably with any week of the
past year.
GLENN GuARDs.-This new volunteer company
meet again tonight at 5s Baronne street, one door
from Grayer, and invite all desirous of joining to
attend The roll has swelled rapidly, and is still
augmenting in numbers. The election for officers
takes place on the 18th.
A DEsTERADo.-Yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock there was most exciting time on Front
and Fulton streets, in the neighborhood Of the
Golden Age. A man named Sam Banks got into
difficulty with one James Linn, and shot at him,
but Linn ran of and escaped unhurt. Officer
O'Donnell took Banks pistol and knife away from
him and deposited them with the keeper of the
| Golden Age, and Banks went off. About half an
hour afterwards Banks returned, having armed
himself again. and going up to O'Donnell, whom
door, told him that he wanted to give him
fair fight, as he was now armed with the
same weapons as himself, and dared him to the
contest. O'Donnell pretended to agree, but sud-
denly jumping upon Banks, tried to secure his
arms. A desperate seufle ensued, and officer
Boron went to the assistance of O'Donnell but
Banks, who is a powerful man, broke loose from
both, and turning upon them, soon put Boroff hors

the groin, inActing dreadful wound. He then
| ran round to Fulton street, pursued by officers
| O'Donnell and Fanchett and large number of
| citizens, who had been attracted to the spot
| by the row. On Fulton street he stood at
bay, threatening death to all who dared approach
Not only the officers, but the citizens made fre-
quent attempts to secure him, but he seemed de-
termined to kill anybody who laid hands upon him
and cut and slightly wounded officer Faucet on
the arm, who caught hold Of him. The excite
ment by this time was intense, and Banks seemed
to be perfectly crazed with rage. But he was
finally brought to reason by "a member of one of
the companies Of Confederate Guards coming up
presenting his hayonet at his breast and threaten
ing to impale him if he did not surrender. He
gave up, and was taken to the calaboose. Borof
is not expected to live; Faucet is not much hurt
EXTENSIVE RoEEEny.-A colored woman named
Josephine Montgomery, and white man, named
Daniel Cane, were arrested yesterday and locked
up in the First District calaboose, upon the charge
| of having robbed house on Basin street of con-
siderable sum of money. It appears that jose
| phine stole the money and gave it to Cane, her
friend and confdant, to KEEP for her. It consisted
Of one note Of $780, one Of $780, four of $50 and one
of $40. The money has not yet been recovered.
| FIRE--A kitchen belonging to lrr. Gusman, at
the corner of Tont and Hospital streets, was de.
stroyed by fire yesterday morning about o'clock.
The fire, we understand, was entirely the result Of
| accident.
| PAuLDISG SCuooL.-The examinations of the
| Public Schools of the First District, commenced
yesterday at the Panlding School.house, corner of
Constance and Gaienne streets. We were pleased
to see that good many visitors were present to
witness the exercises, though the portion Of them
that we saw were sufficiently interesting to have
justified the presence Of still larger audience.
Owing to our unfavorable location, we were I'M
able to obtain tho names of those pupils whose
performances struck us as being the most credit
able, and must therefore, content ourselves with
saying that we were well entertained. s.,

neighborhood, as well as great addition to the
facilities Of the institution. The whole second.
story is thrown into one apartment which will be
under the special charge of that veteran teacher
Geo. W. Hardy, principal Of the male department
The third story will be given to Miss H. G. Emer
son, principal OF the female department.
The addition Of these rooms will afford space fol
two more classes, which are certainly very muct
needed as will be seen from the following state
ment: ~
In the male department, Dir. Hardy has about
80 students under his charge; Mr.. R. j. Evans
First Assistant, 40; Mr.. E. NJ North, Second As
sistant, 60; Mrs. J. Chamard, Third Assistant

In the female department, Miss Emerson has 10
Miss b. Hogan, First Assistant, 4o Miss II. E
Myers, Second Assistant, 10, and Mrs. Albright
Third Assistant, $50 pupils
1t is almost impossible that one person can dt
justice to as many as lol or $50 pupils, and sucl
classes should be divided as soon as possible.
FIRST DISTRICT CouRr.-Ernest Sauberschwartz
