A COURT HOUSE KEEPERS PAY.

James Haskill brought suit against the city for
salary as assistant Court House keeper. The
clatm was duly audited by the Board OF Super
visors. Judge ]. +. Daily, before whom the case
was heard, in the Court Of Common Pleas, gave
the following decision yesterday:-Counsel for
the Corporation concludes that there but one
question to be discussed upon the answer inter-
posed hercin--viz., the authority or the Board Of
Supervisors to audit on December 8, 1873, the
claim of plaintiff at 225 for services as assistant
keeper OF the Court House from september l, 1871,
TO June "a, 1872. The plantir was regularly ap-
pointed to that place by the Board OF Supervisors,
July 8. 1862 at yearly salary OF $1,000. While he
held the position the act chapter 3s2, section IL,
Laws 1870, was passed. giving to tour COmmis-
sloners powers to complete the County Court
House, and declaring that hencelOrth all powers
OF the Board OF Supervisors over the erection OF
said Court House should cease. But this act can
not be tortured to take away from the Board OF
Supervisors any Of its powers over and duties in
respect Of the County Court House, except the
power Of erecting or completing the building Its
care and custody Of that, with other county Offices,
renamed, and the appointment and employment
of Keepers, &c, had not been removed. The rlgnt
to audit plaintiffs claim as assistant keeper was
unquestlonable, Forming his decision on the fore
going rules Judge Daily sustained the demurrer to
the answer and rendered Judgment for plaintir for
the amount claimed.

this morning.
On yesterday morning, at six O'Clock, 175 canine
passengers were put into Captain Marrlotts 'Black

method of drowning them is very simple and easy.
When locked up in the dog cage they are rolled
down to the rivers edge, distance OF about
twenty yards. The cage. which generally holds

lowered into the river. Alter the poor
animals arc submerged beneath the waves for up.

the derrick and pronounced 'emphatlcaly dead"
They are thence conveyed In wagon to the
dumping ground, Thirty first street and North
River During tie past week 92l dogs have been
thus disposed OF. the average number received
daily during the past three weeks Is about $50.
The dogs to be seen at present at the pound
present most deplorable appearance, with two
animals look as II they had been hunted a iort-
night before tneir capture. When strange lace
is seen inside the pound all the CANNES spring 10
their feet ana give unanimous salute by grOwl-
sounds on the bench near them. One or

another, a Spltz OF good breed. There are, be-
sldes one nice looking King George and some SER
viceablc Newfoundland dogs, bull terriers SPAN
