DEATH OF A CHEF ENGINEER. - Mr..
RobeI Hodgson, Chief Engineer of the Baltimore
Central Railroad, died on tuesday last 0t oxford,
Pennsylvana. Mr.. HOdgson remarkably
efficient officer, and eDjoyed IN an eminent degree
the confidence OF the Company wi which he was
connected. He greatly respec ed as man, and
his professional talents made hlm widely known.
His death causes sincere sorrow to large circle of
acquaintance.
The CHOLERA in the city would still ap-
reported to the Board of Health up to noon to-day.
The Board no lonqer makes public the number OF
deaths resulting from the disease as there Is great
dscrt pancy between the returns made daily to the
Board and the weekly mortality list. We do no
think, however. that there is any occasion for
panic as the returning GOODNESS of the temperature
Will soon dIsslpate the seeds the plague.

attention of our readers to MIR. Sargenps card
which NAV be found in another column. All per
sons about having their pianos tuned, or put IL
order for the winter, will do well to call on hin
before going elsewhere.
LADIES VOTING
Rev. Benry Ward Beecher, his letter from
Peekskill to the Plymouth congregation, declare
that he has always advocated 'the rights of blacI
and white, of men and aOOWen to the vote" But Il
is great mistake to suppose that the ladies have
a very influential vote already. Does Mr.. Beeche
ever go upon pleasure jaunt, or invite "a teV
friends" to dinner without Mrs. B. first giving he
vote in favor of the measure? In all social questions
from least greatest, feminine opinion has power
full influence. Principally by the vote of the ladIe
| has been established the important tact that tn
most neat and becoming styles OF clothing for gen
| tlemen are to be found at TOWER HALL,
NO. 6l8 MARKET STREET,
