BOARD OF POLICE CoN3rssIoSERs.-This body |
held session Saturday and disposed of several
unfmp0rtant cases. a resolution was introduced
| by Mr.. Lynch, declaring Edward KerRan regu.
ary appointed policeman, and that the mayor had
usurped the powers ofthe board in dismizsing him.
This case was brought before the board at pre-.
vious meeting, and was reported in the CRESCENT,
our understanding being, that the board, without
dissenting voice. agreed that the circumstances of
the case warranted the mayor in ignoring Mr..
Kiernal as a policeman. The circumstances were
these; After Mr.. Eiernan had been sworn in, the
mayor discovered that lie had not intended to ap-
point him, but another Edward Kiernan, who sub
sequentIy appeared, and who, if we mistake not,
is now on the police. The Mr.. Kiernan whose case
was before the board, regardless of the mistaken
identity demanded that he should be continued in
Office, but The mayor, conceiying that the appoint
ing power was in his hands and not in those of Mr.
was rejected by vote of three to two, viz Yeas,
Messrs. Lynch and Moore; nays, Messrs. Conway,
Duvigneaud and SouIe.
DoGs.-The dog days are emphatcally at hand,
and it should be remembered that this sweltering
period, tries the temper of most bipeds, and ut
terly destroys that of many CANNES, making them
rabid and I" dangerous to the community if al
lowed to run at large.' 1t is time that the sas-
10
ours, and dogs of higher degree, who leave their
home duties to vagabonding abroad, should be
relieved of the necessity of getting mad, and
filling the minds of timid people with distressing
ideas of hydrophobia.
Boy DROWNED WHILE BATHING.-Notwithstand
ing the efforts of the police to prevent youngsters
from bathing in the treacherous waters of the
river, and the imposition of small fines by the re-
: corders, when they are brought before them, the
j. practice continues and with fatal results. Last
evening while some lads, amongst whom was
boy named Peter Kelly, about nine or ten years of
u age, were swimming at the foot of Richard street
young Kelly lost his life. The body was dived for
and brought up by his comrades. The coroner
: was notified of the occurrence. 1t is impossible
;, for the police to be everywhere along the river
banks so that parents should take warning by this
keep their boys from risking their lives by bathing
= in the Mississippi
u INoUEsT.-Coroner Delery on Saturday held an
/ inquest on the body of lady found dead, the

i ing day. a servant of the house, who had
+ previously tried the front door, but found
II it locked, got in through a side entrance, and

u None Of her clothing had been removed The re.
g suit of the coroner's inquiry that death was
s the result Of hypertrophy of the heart. The de.
j. ceased was about thirty years of age reticule
. or basket, containing small rusted penknife, sew
u eral papers of powders, and a vial containing
