DEATH FROM INTEMPERANoE.--A negro
named Henry Gwathmey, aged about forty.
Eve years, employed to. attend stable on
Monroe street, between Broad and Grace.
died very suddenly on Sunday afternoon.
Henry is said to have been of spiritual
tendency, and never to have avoided liquor
except under stress of crsd dmstances--when
he couldn't get it. On Sunday he was
partly drunk, and was found by Sergeant
Gilman about 8 O'Clock lying on pile of
shucks in the stable, and was, as he thought,
quite sick. He went for an order for the
city ambulance to have him removed to the
almshouse, and on returning found that
the vital spark had fed. He was viewed by
the Coroner, who concluded that death had
been caused by intemperanee. No inquest.

Whereas an act was passed at the last ses.

among other things, "any refuse OF gas
works -; and whereas it is impossible 70 pre-.
vent the washings from the works, without
great expense, from entering the river |; and
whereas our interests no less than the prohi.
bition of law will prevent the allowance Of
all the other deleterious substances specified
In the act from passing from our works to the
river; and where's the said washings can
prove of but little detriment to fish delivered,
as they are, below the falls Of the river, and
containing but little, ifany, of the objection.
able matter complained of; therefore
Resolued (the Board of Aldermen concur.
ring), That our representatives in the AS.
semoly be respectfully requested to procure
an amendment Of the act in question SO as to
relieve from its penalties the allowing Of the
refuse from the works to pass into the river,
retaining, if in the wisdom Of the Assembly
it should seem best, the remaining subjects
of prohibition.
