NEW YoRK, April 22.-At the Erie in
vestigalion to-day tho counsel for the com
pany read q statement that tho company
was ready and willing to furnish the COM
nittee with all the information that may
be required in any matter concerning the
accounts or management Of the road,
and only asking that the information
desired may be designated objec-
ton being made TO the reception OF
the offer on the ground that, being made
in closing hours Of the committees cxis-
tenCe, and therefore, not seeming in good
faith, 1t was ordered 10 be stricken from
tho minutes.
On motion Of tho Chairman Of the
Committee, Il. =: Evans Of London testi'
fed regarding tho action OF BiSChof-
sCheim and McHGnry in oVerthrOwning
the Gould directory. BE said tho former
wanted TO make money for himself and
friends and tho latter TO benefit tho ATTAIN
tic & Great Western Road. 1t was neces'
sary to get rid Of Gould before any CONT
denCe could be created in England in Erie
stock. The English people would have
nothing to DO with anything he or Fisk
controlled.
Horace F. Clark explained the law reIa'
tive to tho leasing Of railroads, and testi-
fed he never knew Of money beng paid
to secure favorable legislation. The In
PRODUCERS Of such bills as pro rata freight
bills arc legislative brigands, demanding
nav for their peace. He had known mem'
bCrs, however, who had introduced like
bills and did not demand price. Mr,
Clark received from George McHcnry, OF
London, letter stating that there was Il
projec. 10 lease the Eric road and the AT.
ianIic s. Great Western, but this Presi-
dent Watson denied.
The committee then adjourned to al.
bany, and will resume the investigation
tomorrow.

DR. HALL says those people who are
troubled with cold feet at bedtime should
bend over and smartly slap the calves OF
their legs for about five minutes. This
struck a young man who boards on Essex
Street to DO about as sensible piece oI i'd
vice as he ever heard. So he put to tho
test alter dIsrobing himself on Saturday
night He bent over and pounded away
nj himself, and all the time made a noise
with his mouth, like the hiss OF escaping
steam. This noise attracted the attention
Of ono OF tho boarders, and he told the
landlady that there must be fire in that
room because no could hear 1t siB, and
could hear Nn ALFRED swapping and pop
ping going on in there. The landlady
didn't pause TO argue She caaght up
pail and plunged for the place at
once. The bOarder followed with q
gigantic clothes brush. Both Of them pre-
CipitAtsd themselves into the room tOgcth-
or. The advent was so sudden that the
boarder who was warming himself had
no chance to dodge. And there was too
much momentum to the landlady and the
other boarders to permit them to recover
themselves in time. SO there was col.
liSIop, The laudlAdY saw 1t coming and
inStinctively held the pail in front OF her.
But the disciple OF Hall didn't sec Il, as
his back was TO the door and his head
nearly 10 the floor, and before ho could
look up, on hearing the door fly open,
the visitors were on him, and the cOn-
tents OF tho pail over him, and the three,
with pail aud clothes brush, came down
In crash together. How the landlady
extrIcated herself and got out Of thai
room as quickly as sho did will alway'
remain mystery 10 the two men who
Itood there and glarCd at each other lol
some fifteen minutes.

II Is not generally known that. under the

Of the bank discovered chest which, on
being moved. literally fell &c pieces. On
examining the contents quantity of mas.
slye plate was discovered of the period
Of Charles III. This circumstance might
not in itself be very interesting, but
that there was found with the plate

among the archives of the institution it was
found that a family of that name had been
connected with the bank about the time in

ors prosecuted their inquiry, and, being
satisfied that a gentleman of the same name

the owner of the plate and the love letters,
