THE BILL OF MoRTAL1TY.-It will be seen by the
bill Of mortality published elsewhere that the num-
Der of deaths during the past week is twenty-five
nineteen of which are colored and six white. Of
the latter five are children and one adult, while
there are eleven colored adults and eight whites.
This remarkable discrepancy is owing, principally
to the careless mode of life observed by the coored
people and to their neglect of all precautions ne
cessary for the preservation of health The portions
of the city inhabited by this class usually long
ranges dilapdated shanties, which are frequent
" tenanted by several families. The Summer has
fortunately been extremely healthy, but the cold
weather will soon thin their ranks, and, unless
greater care is taken, and they become more prov
ident, the number of deaths will be largely in
creased. There are many, and, we believe, largo
portion of the colored people who are careful in
their habits, and who, having been brought up in
city, are not apt to neglect any sanitary precau-
tons; but the country negroes, who are entirely
unaccustomed to city ways, herd together in un-
healthy localities and soon fall victims to disease.

KING STREET IMPRovEMENTs.-The fashionable
portion of King street is one of the few localities in
the city where fire has not proved a loss. The
houses destroyed by the devoaring element have
been generally rebuilt with more taste and with
more pretentons to architectural beauty than they
had previously possessed. The heat Of the fire
that destroyed Queen City Hotel had scarcely
died away when the rubbish was removed, and the
work of rebuilding was commenced. The late
Alderman EARLE was the contractor, and under his
management the work progressed rapidly, until
interrupted By his sudden death. 1t was, how
ever, soon resumed, and Mr. W. KNsMAN and
Messrs. FodARTH & STnLMAN became the occu-
pants of the new stores. Of the appearance Of
these stores is almost useless to speak as they
have long been the objects of attraction to the
shopping public Messrs. FoaARTIE STILMAN

the North store These goods have been chosen
for this market, and will prove, inspection, to
be what they are warranted. Mr.. W. K1NsMAN, the

nience and will be pleased to learn that he has not
forgotten the chef doucres of his art, and confec-
tionery of every description can be obtained at his

LIQUOR LAws.-General CANDY decides that the
Jurisdiction conferred on Post Courts in cases Of
violations of the military liquor orders, is not an
exclusive one. The laws Of the CITY, State, or
United States regulating the Gales Of liquors, re-
main in force, and may be enforced, notwishstand-
ing that the delinquents have already been punish
ed by military court. The order prohibiting the
sale is police regulation, and the penalties for
violation in now way relieve partiee offending from

An Amorous Shoemaker Come to Grief

We are laughing over an adventure in
to which an amorous shoemakeI fell. He
was not content with the one wife he had
taken, but be must needs go poaching on
his neighbor's grounds. His neighbor's
wife, annoyed by his declarations, told her
husband. The latter replied ave will
punish him." They put their heads to-
gether to devise some suitable punishment.
The evening after his family consultation,
the amorous shoemaker(who lived imme
diateIy opposite the house painter whose
wife he So lovei) seeing the husband alb
sent called on the wife. He was in higher
spirits than ever; he bought an enormous
rosegay, made entirely Of roses, and was as
full Of compliments as he could be. The
wife said to him, in reply to a question ::
MY husband has gone TO St. German to
recover a bebt of some 200f" The shoe
maker was delighted at the prospect Of
spending the whole evening with her Two
hours flew away in most delightful conver-
Sation. He pressed her to yield: she re
fused. At last she said MY greatest OBJ
lection to you is the horrible odor of eath-
er, which all shoemakers have. Take a
bath in my husbands bathing tub, and
perhaps, after yon smell like other people.

Some time since it was announced thai
a man at Titnsville, Pa, committed suicide
for the reason that he had discovered he
was his own grandfather. Leaving a dv.
ing statement explaining the singular cir,
cumstance, we will not attempt to unraye
but give his explanation of the mixed ~
condition cf his kinsfolk in his own words

grown-up daughter Nv father visited our
house very often, fell in love with my stey
daughter, and married her So my father
became my son-in- law, and my step daugh.
ter my mother, because she was my father,
wife. Some time afterwards my wife had
son; he was my fathers brother-in law
and my uncle, for he was the brother Of
my step-mother. Ny fathers wife, e.
M step-daughter, also had a son; he was
of course my brother, and in the meantime
my grand-child, for he was the son of INV
daughter My wife was my grandmother
because she was my mothers mother.
was my wite's husband and grandchiId at
the same time; and as the husband of a
persons grandmother is his grandfather,
was my own grandfather" That this was
strange condition Of things it must be
confessed, but we can see no possible rea-
son why it should cause man to commit
suicide.

Riss. $ of Married Women.

A case that has double interest for one
class of travellers was tried in the Supreme
Court of New York city few days ago.
Il grew out of an action brought by Mrs.
Rawson against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, to recover the value of certain
baggage destroyed whilst in transit over
the road Of that company. The case had
been once tried in an inferior Court, where
the jury rendered verdict for S3,9J5 10
damages, and it was taken up to the Su-
preme Court on an appeal from that Judge
ment. There We're TWO trunks destroyed
in September, 1864, containing clothing,
iewelry and other articles, claimed to be
the full value Of the sum given by the
jury in their verdict. An interesting f-a-
ture of the case was that it not only invol-
we'd the rights of travellers on railroads in
this state, but it also involved the rights Of
married women. The defence seemed to
be based mainly on two points: first that
the ticket given to this lady had printed
on it a limitation which restricted the
passenger to so pounds of b ggage AMI of
a value not exceeding 500, unless upon
notice gv1n and an extra amount paid for
the luggage at double first class freights
and second, that the property in the trunks
was the gift of the husband anl remained
his property at common law; that he,
therefore. should be plaintiff, and that Mrs
Rawson, his wife, had no standing IN court
SO far as the first point is concerned, the
Supreme Court realIirmed what we have
frequently published in these columns as
the law on the subject, namely, that rail
way company account, by any notice placed
on ticket or elsewhere, even where such
notice is brorght to the knowledge Of those
whose persons or property it undertakes to
carry, avoid its responsibility as a common
carrier for the safe conveyance Of what is
entrusted to it for transportation, or limits
its responsibility by any such notice. Pas
scngers may waive their rights by positive
contracts for valuable consideration, but
these rights cannot be taken away by the
mere printing Of words upon tickets.
