erence to the discharging OF firearms

hogs,::stc., upon whicha substitute was
presented. The substitute was adopt
ed. The measure makes it . crimi-
nal offense to discharge firearms in
any enclosure containing stock or in
an adjacent field or fields to such
stock. 1t provldes that any offender
in such regard, shall DO liable to ar
rest without warrant, and punished,
according to the amount Of damage
done. The gentleman from Polk
moved that the bill be put on its pas
sage at once. He said he had receiv.
ed numerous letters from the feeders
of stock, who had suffered seriously,
by reason Of persons who were finan-
cially irresponsible coming upon their
lands or grounds and stampeiing
their stock. 1t was necessary to have
such a measure to protect the inter-
ests of these men. He hoped the bill
would be put upon its passage.
After discussion, the bill was refer

The committee reported adversely
to tho bill appropriating $4,000 to

A Quarantine for Delaware Bay.

PROPOSITION TO ESTABLISH IT AT CAFE HENLoPEN.
The Lewes Light after quoting from the Com
MERCIAL short editorial urging the necessity Of
a quarantine protecting the whole river and bay,
says:
I'VE are glad to note that others besides our
selves, feel the necessity of some general quar-
antne arrangement, and would suggest some
point within reach Of the Breakwater for that
purpose, and hospital on shore for the accom-
mediation Of the sick. Not that our people would
relish the establishment of pest house near by,
but because a hospital, (even il crammed with
fever in charge OF an efficient health officer, and
quarantine strictly enforced, would be infinitely
preferable to the present system or rather, i0dnt
of system. Vessels are continually arriving here
from foreign ports, often with malignant dis
eases aboard, and there is no restriction beyond
the general "three mile" rule, always loosely
observed Then in addition to the general Sc
curity, many poor fellows life might be saved
that now goes to the dogs for want OF care. The
sand hnmmocks on 1.-THE Capes" are full of dead
mems bones, that bear silent but eloquent wit
ness to the hardships and exposures OF those
who 20 down to the sea-" place of such great
resort as this harbor, ought long ago to have
been provided with suitable quarters for sick and
disabled seamen, and now is the time to kill two
birds with one stone Plenty OF elbow room
here, and fresh air (well salted) dd hbitum."

" WAKE " AROUND SMALLPOX ooRPeK
Last night, about ten O'Clock, woman died
Of the smallpox in Spring Alley, and her corpse
was at once removed from the dwelling into the
open yard, and laid ont upon the ground. All
through the night tallow candles were kept burn
ing around the dead body and the neigh
hors were greatly disturbed by the members Of
the family, who, it ID said, observed the ey mt
with a regular Irish wake. At nine O'clock this
morning. the corpse was inferred.
Such exhibitions as those are painful and hu-
initiating in the extreme. They give evidence
Of deprayity almost akin to uncivilized people,
and deserye correction from some source where
they will be made to feel the enoTmity of the act
committed The exposition Of the dead body to
the open air was positively dangerous to the

MOTION TO RELEASE THE INSANE PEEPETRAroR
DENIED.
In February last, VIM. H. Hoskins was tried
in the Philadelphia Courts, for the murder of his
wife. He escaped hanging on the plea OF insan-
ity, but was sentenced to the States prison, for
term of years. ,...
Recently, an attempt was made by his coun-
sci to procure his discharge on the ground that
he is now sane, but the Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner refused, on Saturday, to set the prisoner
at liberty. In his refusal, Judge Finletter SAID
that the verdict of acquittal was upon the ground
that the prisoner was insane at the time he COM
mitted the act, and therefore the court was
hound TO presume his insanity, and the An OF
Assembly requir ed the court to be satisfied that
he was completely recovered aud not subject TO
reoccurrenoe of the malady that led him to COM
NIT the crime for which he was tried. The COM
munity and the rights of the defendant were
eaualiy 10 be protected. The burden OF proof
WAS upon the defendant; he had not yet pro
| duced such testimony as satisfied the court that
| Il was safe to release him. He was therefore
remanded to prison, he still having the right to to
| apply hereafter for his release upon competent
nroof and to have an issue awarded to try the
| question Of his sanity before Jury.
