Relief for CHICAGO,

No report was made to Mayor Flanders,
up to late hour in the day, of the amounts
collected by the soliciting committee for the
relief of the Chicago sufferers.
Mr.. l. N. Marks, chairman of the relief
committee for the Chicago sufferers, sug-
gests that the various religious denomina-
tions take up collections on their usual days
Of worship in their respective churches, and
that the amounts be turned over to the re-
lief committee and sent forward to Chicago
with the general fund. This is suggested
in order to give all classes of our people the
privilege and opportunity to contribute to
the aid of the suffering poor of the stricken
city Of Chicago.
The Orleans Dramatic Relief Association
will give an entertainment next Saturday
evening, at the National Theatre, for the
relief of the Chicago sufferers, on which
occasion the ''Ticket-ofLeave Man" will be
presented.
1t was the Louisiana National Bank. and
not the Louisiana State Bank, as reported.
that voted one thousand dollars for the aid
of the Chicago sufferers.

Yellow Fever in vidalia.

We copy the following from the Vidalia
Herald Of the sixth instant:
We are deeply panied to learn of the con-
tinued prevalence Of the yellow fever in our
little town-a large number Of cases. the
sparseness our population considered, have
occurred. Up to the time of going to press,
there have been about thirty five cases under
treatment, Of which nine have died, although
the type Of the disease does not seem to be
violent, yet the great tendency to conges-
ton make good nursing the grand desid-
eratum in the treatment, aided by profess
sional skill and experience.
In this particular the citizens of Vidalia
have been peculiarly blessed. DR.. j. S.
Meng has not only shown skill and expert
ence. but sympathy and untiring attention
to the sick. He has been going night and
day since the inception of the disease.
Care, anxiety and fatigue has well nigh
worn him down, and vet he is ever ready,
like the good Samaritan, to respond to
every call; and when aided by proper care
and good nursing, has generally brought
his patient through triumphantly. Most Of
the sick are now cOnvalescing.
Business houses are closed. They will
think of, and do nothing but wait on, visit
and minister to the sick. Too much praise
can not be awarded to those kind ladies of
Natchez who have left their own afflicted
city to come to our relief.
May Heaven bless them and all others for
their sympathy and kindness.
In consequence of the yellow fever at vi
dalia, Hon. Wade H. Hough, Judge of the
Thirteenth Judicial District, has adjourned
the October term Of that court to Tuesday,
January g 1872.

The Supply Of Coal.

The indications of another coal famine
are now apparent to all, as the supply ie
rapidly diminishing, and there is little pros
pect Of getting more. The coal dealers are
now purchasing at higher rate tn an they
were retailing for short time ago, and the
probabilities are strong that there will soon
be further advance. Last year the scarcity
was caused by low water in the Ohio river
The most reliable intelligence from Louis
vile and Cincinnati states that the supply
of coal is also very short in those cities, and
none coming. At present the low water
evil exists in a most aggravated form, and
there is only thirty inches of water on the
worst bars; in fact. We are informed that
the steamboats, in the Ohio river have had
cowcatchers placed on their bows to
clear the channel of roaming cattle. When
all these facts are taken into consider
alton, any one can see that coal yard will
be good thing to have this winter, and
just such an institution is advertised for
sale this morning. The opportunity is one
that should be improved before coal goes
up another notch.

AMCsEMENTS.


The minstrels are still centre of attrac-
ton at the Academy. Signor A. Farina's
performances on the piano are now con-
sidered 3 pleasing feature-something that
the connOisseurs Of music relish. if they do
the applauding. ''Old Black JOe," sung by
Marsh Adams, is fair attempt at the
pathetic in plantation life; and Johnny
Harris Pompey, in Rymans new interlude,
entitled ''POmpey's Patients" is among the
best representations of negro character
now to be seen. Master Barney is another
leading trump. and adds much to the char
acter Of the Hart, Ryman e. Barney's
Xinstrels for fun and amusement.
National Theatre.
Prompted by a most humane impulse, the
Orleans Dramatic Relief Association will
give dramatic performance at the National
Theatre next Saturday evening for the ben
eft Of the sufferers by the great fire in
Chicago, on which occasion the "Ticketof.
Leave Man will be presented. We expect
to report full house.

THE CITY HALL.

Mayor Flanders yesterday received q
dispatch to the effect that sixty thousand
people were without shelter.
Subscriptions for the relief of the suffer
ers are going on quite rapidly, but no def
mite reports Of the amounts collected can
vet be obtained. No doubt is entertained
that the proposed amount Of $50, 600 will be
| collected.
There is no truth in the rum0r that Gov
ernOr Warmoth is about to remove three of
the city administrators.
City Attorney's Once.
George S. Lacey, Esq, City Attorney,
mas returned from the North, after q two
months leave Of absence, looking much i'm
proved in health as we'll as in strength. He
yesterday paid his respects to the officials
in the City Hall, and this morning will re-
sumo his duties as the law officer of the
corporation, preparing to represent the city
in the many weighty cases which will come
up on the opening of the courts in No.
vember.
The Dog Ordinance.
The war upon the canine tribe which was
inaugurated through the influence of
prominent counsellor at law Of this city,
who seems to have been afflicted with a
chronic fear Of rabies, is about to cease. 1t
would appear that this prominent attOr-
ney, being influenced by the baneful rays Of
the star Sirius. started q serious crusade
against the whole tribe of canine quad
rupeds, mongre1, hack and greyhound,
which eliminated in an ordinance by Mr..
Shaw, denOuncing death and destruction on
all Of the race found running at large with
out muzzles.
But it seems that this ordinance which
originated in the dog days, when dogs run
mad, has already had it's day." and is
doomed to failure, for in the proceedings of
the City Council on Tuesday, we find the
following:
Mr.. Shaw called up the ordinance intro
duced by him for the destruction Of unmuz-
zled oogs.-~--- .-.----. -------
Mr.. Bonzano moved that the ordinance
be laid on the table.
Mr.. Delassize seconded the motion.
The yeas and nays were called, and the
motion to Law on the table carried.
Yeas: Delassize, Remick, Lewis, Bon
zanO.
Nays: Cockrem and Shaw
Mr. BOnzanO now moved q reconsidera-
tiOn of the vote juet taken, and that the Or
dinance be referred to the Administrator of
Police, which was adopted. with prOvisO
that the Administrator report upon it next
week.
We would suggest that zone week" is
not sufficient time to report upon a subject
involving such varied consideration. The
lives of at least twenty thousand dogs de-
pend upon what is done with this postponed
ordinance. The subject is environed with
difficulties and its reference for further con-
may be advisable. Meanwhile
the season tor mad dogs glides swiftly |
away and the poor ours may have respite |
until spring.
