CoRoNER's JURY.-The coroner's jury in the
case of G. c. Smith, the engineer who was
killed by the boiler explosion on the Ogdens-
burg, yesterday noon brought in the following
verdict:
That deceased came to his death by accident,
on the morning of the 22d day of September,
1874, at Deering in Cumberland county, on the
dine of the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad,
aud that his death was caused by the explosion
of the boiler of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 'Saco,'
of which he was then in charge as as engineer,
and that from the evidence in the case the jury
are of the opinion that said explosion was due
to latent defect in the iron of the boiler which
could not have been discovered by any of the
ordinary tests which are applied in such cases,
that said accident was not due to any improper
management of the engine, or to any unusual
strain to which the boiler was subjected, but
rather to the continuous strain and concu sson
of tbs boiler which gradually resulted IN what
is termed an internal growing of the iron.

Reception of the Mayor of Dublin.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin. Lady Magoress,
his daughter. and Alderman Manning and
daughter, who accompany the Irish rifle team,
were entertained to-day by the city authorities
by an excursion on the rivers around the city
on the steamboat Wyoming the members of
the Irish team being at Creedmoor practicing
for the contest Saturday. GraffClas 9TH regi-
ment National Band, accompanied the ;party,
which was limited to 250, and a luncheon by
Delmonico was served on board, after which
Mayor Havemeyer made speech introducing
the Lord Mayor, in which he said that it was
the first time in the history of New York that
the authorities were called upon to pay respects
to the corporate representatives of the metropo-
lis of Ireland, country with which our people
are so closely connected. The Lord Mayor in
walking through the streets of New York and
meeting SO many countrymen, might think
himself in Dublin and the thought must force
itself upon him that it was good thing for the
Irish race that Columbus discovered America.
He believed he could say fer the Irishmen of
this city, whether in Office or not, that they
were happy to see the Lord Mayor of the chief
City Of their native land
The Lord Mayor returned thanks for the
kindness and hospitality of the authorities and
private citizens of New York, and said: ''We
were not prepared for this hearty welcome, be-
cause apart from the ties of race and kinshp
the fact is universally recognized that the ma
tive energy of the American is only equalled by
the sense of good fellowship and manly gener.
osity. When the story of our visit is read in
the homes of thousands of Irish men aud
women who have good reason to love America,
the kindness of New York would be gratefully
remembered.
He hoped the city of New York would main
tain her splendid position among the cities of
the world, and the Republic of the United
States receive the blessings of peace and pros
perty."
