Josh Billings on Free Love.

I beleaf in free fight, especially
amung cats and dogs.
beleafin free rides-on gate.
beleaf in the freedum of every slave
On arth.
But free love is one oy them
kinds of freedum that it don't do to
timber with.
If this world was garden of Edin
and full of Adam and Eve, az they
waz when they waz fust launched,
then l kan imagine it might do for
some other Adam to hold my Eve on
his lap and talk about his affinity and
spiritoal essence, and play lamb
In them daze there want no humin
natur, it was all God natur.
Humin natur has been soaked SO
much since, it is tew weak tew be
trusted in a lot whar the seed is poor
next to a meddo, without much fence
between nor any poke on.
Free love wants more poke than en-.
ny other animal. .7ss'a
don't believe in total depravity
unless man has, y good chance.
Free love is good deal like drink
ing shilling gin.for'a bcvridge, Bev
ridge is a Chinese word and means
cussidness. <s@ =.
And the free luv | have witnessed

famous fletcher on one side, and lu

FOURTH AVENUE RAILROAD M0RTUARY
STATISTICS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81, 1872
tn THE EDITOR or THE HERALD:-
AT a meeting OF o committee representing persons
opposed to the present condition or the railroad
tracks IN Fourth avenue, held by invitation OF the
Harlem Railroad Company on Friday last, at the
new depot In Forty.second street, 1t was privately
stated by one OF the law counsel OF the company
that only about two fatal accidents had oc-
Cured during the year 1871. BY inquiry at the
once OF the Bureau OF sanitary Inspection 1t ap-
pears that twelve deaths were Occas0ned by injuries
received on the Fourth Avenue Railroad during
the year 1871. Oh these certified table In detail Is
now before me- During the months Of October, No
vember and December eight deaths are reported;
from January to october Is four occurred-mak-
ing for the last three months Of the year 1871 a
death rate twice as great as for the nine preceding
months. The Chief or sanitary Inspection adds:-
''How many Others may have been injured by such
accidents OF course we cannot neutrality-suspicious.
whose subsequent deaths may be attributed
to other causes by physicians who may not
tients' injuries were caused by the railroad"
by the annual return from the Coroners office
published in the HERALD) for January l, 1872,
1t Is shown however, that many other persons have
been Killed whose lntermens have not been reported
TO the Bureau OF Sanitary Inspection. Twenty-elght
trains within this city, and OF these twelve arc
stated to have occurred during the last three
months OF 1871.
Ihis increase of mortality corresponds with the
tables from the Health Bureau, and points out an
alarming change during the time the Hudson River

over four and this mortality Is likely to increase

LARGE SALE OF COAL.

News for COnsumcrs-Dcciine In Prices
10000 Tons Of Scranton Coal mt Auc-
lion.
Yesterday the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Coat Company sold 1870 900 tons Of Scranton coal
at their salesroom IN Exchange place. Messrs.
John II. Draper Co. offered at auction yesterday
12O, 900 tons OF Scranton coal. There was very
large attendance, and the bidding was more than
usually spirited, but in every description OF coal
there was q marked falling of from the prices OBJ
tanned at the previous months sale, and they
were considered TO be remarkably low
The prices fell steadily throughout, and few pur-
cnases exceeded i've hundred tons. The decline
was chiefly attributed to the mCness or the winter
and the quantity o. coal IN the market, the supply
having for some time exceeded the demand. The
fact mat much severe weather may be expected
during the next two months had little weight ap-
parently In the minds OF the dealers, several OF
whom to-day said that further decline In the price
of coal mex month would not surprise them.
Lump was first sold at SO IS, then rose 10 SO 421a

That this class is large anybody can prove to his

The NYntcr supnly.

The attempt by section Of the State Legislature
to obtain the repeal Of "An act TO provide never
falling supply OF pure and wholesome water for the
city of New York;" Is causing the Department OF
Public Works some little anxiety, inasmuch as It's
redeal would be attended with consequences that
ought to excite unsuitable apprehension; for the
repeal OF this act would leave the city dependent
upon an insufficient source for supply OF
water al time when a water famine would
be very hard to endure. The act was
passed by the Legislature In 1871, but in 1870 Mr.
Tweed had purchased several ponds and lakes IN
Putnam and Westcheser counties IN order to secure
them as o source OF supply for the water FOR the
CITY. That Mr. Tweed did this disnlerestedly Is
shOwrfby the permission that he has given Tor the
city TO draw upon those lakes should II require the
water also his desire 10 sell to the city to-day
the lakesh he secured for the same price that ne PAID
Tor them. On the principle or giving the devil MS
due, Mr.. Tweed Is entitled TO the credit OF TINS oner
as well as the foresight that enabled him 10 see
the inevitable intimate water requirements OF the
CITY, The opposition TO this Water supply act Is
not caused by any suspicion on the part Oh us OPP
ponents that there Is any SOB" IN the enactment,
but Is promoted by the inhabitants In the neighbour
