port of the City Gas Works for the year
ending January 81, 1870, being the nine
tcenth since its establishment.
By the report of the Superintendent Of
the Works, herewith submitted, it will be
seen that the amount of gas made during
the year was 55,590,850 cubic feet, being
On increase over the previous year of

There is an apparent decrease Of re-
ceipts for the past year ns compared with
the previous year of $l3,4e2.5s, which
was caused by the change from the quar-
terly to the monthly system of collecting,
by which the proceeds of 4,079, 300 cubic
feet Of gas appear in last years receipts
instead of this year, as they would have
done If the change had not been made {;
and also from the fact chat O portion of last
years returns were at the rate of 81 per
1000 feet instead of SO, as at present.
The current expenses have been reduced
GA, ,744.s3 as compared with the previous
year. -
We would call attention to the Superin-
tendent's recommendation for the building
of o new gas-holder. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the committee
and Council for several years past, and will
require action soon, as otherwise serious
inconvenience to citizens may at any time
ensue.
We have built during the past year 8
new lime-kiln ut cost of about $500,
which has greatly reduced our expenses
for lime.
The works are in excellent condition, and
will compare favorably in most particulars
with those of other cities.
The system of monthly collections has
worked very satisfactorily and greatly re-
duced the loss from unpaid bills.
We desire to express our acknowledg-
ments to the Superintendent and other at
taches for the very satisfactory manner
they have performed their duties.

Dir. OLIVER AS A MEsMERlST.-Someo one
has culled from newspaper and published
in the Alexandria Gazette the following:
Nesmerism an Accompl;ce Of Crime.-
Som. people profess not to believe in So
called :" mcsmerism" and the power of the
mesmcriser over his victim. But "know-
ing" is better even than "seeing" in this
case, and we know that it is true. DR.. Oil
yer, the mcsmerist, was quite equal to any
thing Of that kind that WAS possible at all,
and could compel those who submitted to
his practices to do exactly what he told
them to do whilst they were in the abnOr-
NAL condition called coma, induced by his
manipulations. We CHANGED to meet the
man in England, when he was respecta-
BILE practitioner in Newcastle-on-Tyne, and
we have seen him compel his "victims to
believe and to suffer all the agony of burn
ing-that they were sitting on red-hot GOALS
when they were sitting on common
chair-to believe that they were drink
ing brandy when they were drinking
water, and 60 through all the antics
of drunken man, and wear all the
semblances of the same in their faces,
eyes, and demeanor. We have known a
young man compelled to come to the mes
mcrist at IL o'clock ut night for distance
of eight miles because he was told to do
SO when in the mesmeric state. This hap
pened at Leeds. The poor fellow that
came the distance was O Pudsey "Slub-
ber," and he had to walk Oh the snow oil
the way; and what made it all the more
cruel was that his wife was confined on that
very night and was dangerously i'll. We
were in the room of the mesmerist at the
time, having been induced to go there to
see private experiments by way of testing
the truth Of what was then "new thing
in Israel" The man came in, cold and
weeping, and told his story, bitterly up
braiding the meBmerist for his cruelty {;
and we we're 60 touched by his suf1erings
that we sent for q carriage and caused him
to be driven homo at all speed, otherwise
he would have had to walk back over q
bleak and rugged country, knee-deep in
snow in many parts.
We name this fact because VIC "know !"
it to be true. The man said he could not
help coming: he seemed TO be drawn to
Leeds and, as an will readily suppose,
yerv much against his will.

To The Editor Of the World:
Sir,-Whenever I find out that | have
done person injustice, even in thought,
it is a principle with me to acknowledge
the error. Accordingly, lwish to make the
amende honorable to Mr.. Greeley. For
many years had thought, and not unfre-
quently said, that he was the most ignorant
man in the universe. Since my sojourn in
Washington have discovered that did him
great injustice. There is one man more
ignorant than Greeley. His name is For
ney. lie publishes paper in this city.
Not long ago he spoke of " Ptolemy, Copper
nicus, and the other standard authorities
on astronomy" This morning, having oc-
casion to quote the Latin proverb melle
capiuntur nauscg, he translates it for the
benefit of his unlearaed readers "With
pork you can catch mice"
I think this is about the best translation
"out," except, perhaps, one that was made
at young ladies' school in Boston last
year: Hjeta ura coup d'eil dams la cham

SPECIE PAYMENT. IN RICHMOND The
first clink" of returning specie payment
was heard in this city Saturday. The novel
sight of customers coming out of store
with specie in their hands given in change
for greenbacks was witnessed at the cloth
ing store of E. B. Spence & Son, corner of
Thirteenth and Main streets, and attracted
attention as we'll as customers. These en-
terprising merchants, seeing the margin be-
tween gold and paper reduced to bare
line not heavy enough to keep them out Of
one of those little enterprising jobs for which
they are famous, commenced giving speciein
change for paper. We suppose other firms
will follow their example.
