CURIosITIEs OF SUIoIDE.-Some of the
scientific men of our day are trying to as
certain if 4 thoroughly sane person ever
commits suicide. These gentlemen meet
with difficulties, some of the chief OF which
arise from the impossibility Of placing the
suicides themselves on the witness stand.
They find it Impossible to get any but in
ierential evidence out Of q self-destroyed
man as to his mental status ut the time he
killed himself. " ''. .""
Some queer facts have been brought to
light, however. One man had been told
by furtune-telIcr that he would die within
three weeks; and having Il great horror OF
death, he took dose OF strychune to es-
cape dying. That man was clearly of uu-
sound mind. His visit to the fortune-teller
showed that.
Auolhcr case almost the reverse Of the
above occurred in Paris. A man bent OH
suicide climbed upon the parapet of Il
bridge over the Seine, and was about to
Jump into the river when Il sentry pointed
his musket at him and threatened to shoot
him dead unless he Immediately came down.
Singuary enough the man at once came
down, instead of staying OH the parapet and
achieving death at the hands of the sentry
without committing suicide. Was that man
in his right mlndl .r.-s.e '-- II =
a Stlll more singular CaSe WAS tuaI vi All
old bachelor, who in Il moment of weakness
entered Int marriage engagement. On
coming to what he called his light mind,
this unfortunate man resolved to escape
the consequences of his folly by committing
self-destruction. Thus resolved, be had his
razor aimed ut his jugular Vein when word
came that his ,tidnce had elOped with q
younger and handsomer man. Here was
unexpected delivcrance; but now mark the
.vagarles OF perturbed mind. Jealousy OF
his rival succeeded to horror oil his be-
trothed, and, after writing plain statement
Of his: grievances the bachelor resumed the
razor and cut his throat. 1t strikes us that
that is a case which might become unusu-
ally interesting under scientific manipulA-
ton. ~ sar2 A "
We await the report of our savans on the
mentai'st of suicideswith much interest.

In connection with the above the presi-
dent stated that Mr.. ralcott had offered to
present monthly reports of this kind to the
board. ' 2.'1f--
The offer being accepted, on motion of
! Mr.. Potts. it was unanimously resolved that
the other railroad and steamboat compa-
. nies and the canal company he requested to
furnish similar statements monthly.
The president laid before the board a
, communication from Captain r. D. Minor,
chief engineer Of the James river improve
meut, suggesting. in furtherance of the
plans proposed for the improvement of
James river, that IN application be made
through the proper channel for the e>tab-
lisbment OF a light by The United
States Lighthouse Board ut this port,
and to be erected on that point
of land " ing between the ship-locks
of the James River and Kanawha Canal
and the head of river navigation. The en-
pjneer urges that the establishment Of this
Iluht will be Of great benefit to vessels tra-
dug to Richmond, indicating to them the
proper channel aud saving much dclay:in
facilitating their entrance into the ship
locks during the night. The description
OF the light will be decided by the Light
house Board, and L title to the land can be
readily obtained. -
1hc communication referred to having
been read, Capt. Minor came before The
board and gave his ideas on the subject
whercupon On motion of Mr.. i Hing, Sec
onded by MIR. Pickercll. Il resolution was
adopted declaring that such i light would
be of great advantage to the commerce OF
the river, and endorsing and recommend
ing the site named by Capt. Minor. ~.
The president then read 4 letter from Mr..
Coleman Wortham, chairman OF the Exc
clltiye Committee of the Corn and Flour
Exchange, asking the Chamber Of Conf
merce to unite with that body in renting
the new rooms of the Exchange, u portion
of it being offered ut 5000 per annum.
MesSrs. Potts, PickeTell, and Cameron
were appointed 4 committee to confer with
that of the Corn and Flour Exchange on
this subject, with power to Inquire into the
whole matter Of room rent.
MIR. Potts submitted the following, which
was unanimously adopted: ...s
Whereas tile commerce OF our city and
the State it large has suffered, and is now
suffering, from the conduct of the pilots in
Hampton Roads and on James river,
Hesoloea That the Chamber OF COM
merce will employ its best. efforts to have
the present pilot laws modified, so rs to
admit vessels in charge of steamers (tu2-
boats) free of pilotase to and from the ports
of this State, unless the captains of vessels
desire the services of said pilots"
While this resolution was under discus
sion, the president read an able article from
the New York Journal of Commerce on the
Hardships of Pilot Laws" which seemed
to meet the views Of the board.
The board then adjourned.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CITY GAs.W WoKKs.
These improvements are progressing steadi-
ly in the face of not @ few difficulties. The
brick work, under the superintendence Of
Mr.W. J. Westwood, will, it is hoped, be fin
ished by the 18th Of September, in which
case Tanner G. Co. will commence putting
in the iron ut once, with the expectation of
completing the job by the 18th Of Deem
ber. The foundation has been laid with
unusual difficulty, owing to the bricklay-
ers having to work q good deal in water
and mud. The stone work for coping Is
ready for placing, and 4 quantity of iron
is already on the ground. smith IL Martin
have the contract for, the stone work. The
building for the new purifying apparatus
has been completed, and seems to be sub
Tstantial structure. The capacity for puri-
fieation is to be enlarged to twice that OF
the apparatus now in use, but no increase
of the capacity Of the generating appa-
ratus will be necessary until the city Is
third larger than il is now. The improve
ments going on are under the immediate
supervision of Capt. C. II. Dimmock, City
Engineer, and j. Fl. Knowles, Esq, Super
intendent OF the Gas-W orks, who seem to
be efficient and, painstaking in carrying out
the ideas Of the committee of the, City
Council. -.

The committee report that they imme

details of that case and others which sub.
seGuently arose, but finding that the own
ers Of the tugs and vessels involved in said
charges had already provided counsel to
represent their interests, deemed further
action Oh the part of the board ,inexpc-

cludes az follows: -!'' .
