his door, commits suicide. The tragedy took
place at the deceaseds late residence on GENTLY
road, near Elysian Fields street.
Blanc, 1t appears, has been for some time with
out employment, and for several nights past
after he returned home from looking for work,
he was frequently heard to say that il he was
unsuccessful on the morrow he would sacrifice
himself
Thursday evening he returned home and going
into his sleeping apartment swallowed an over
dose OF lsudanum. As this did not produce in
SAINT death he repaired to a shed in his back
yard, tied one end Of . rope to beam, then ad-
justed the other end around his neck while
standing on the chair.
As soon as he had fixed the rope securely about
his neck he kicked the chair from under him.
The fall was not sufficient to break his neck, and
he died from strangulation. Mrs. Blanc hap
pened to 60 into the wash-shcd for the purpose

Thursday evening Officer Hahn found box in
doorway in tho Sixth Precinct.
He examined ii, and from the odor which IL
gave forth felt positive that 1t contained some
thing dead, and supposed IL to be the body OF q
child.
The box was conveyed 10 the Sixth Precinct
Station, where Officer Wiksnson opened 1t with
hatchet. As soon as the lid was removed the
stencil became 80 terrific that no one ventured to
approach IL.
Some Of the people who W re standing around
thought the box must contain the body ola child
that had died ofthe smal-po and mono Of them
dared TO take hold Of the clothes that enyeloped
this supposed dead baby.
One man, however, mustered up courage
enough to investigate the contents OF the box,
and general guffaw went up when 1t was dis
covered that the mysterious object was the body
o. q dead dog that some one had carefully wrap
ped up in a blanket and placed in q box for the
purpose Of playing q joke on the police.

Durinr the latter part of july. in 1874, the

During the latter port OF July, in 1874, the
mercury never rose above 3D. In August Of that
year up to the 18th 1t ranged from e3 to 9S, hay
1t then went down to 81 on the 18th, and seldom
rose above 90 afterwal DIS. The minimum of the
temperature ranged from 70 TO 70 at night, which
has already been attained during this month.
In July, 1875, the mercury seldom rose above
90-95 degrees being the highest attained. In
August OF that year the temperature was even
milder, the degree reached being "a, and then
only three or four times. At the signal Office
yeste rday the maximum was 95 degrees.
The steady heat OF the past few days brings
come consolation, If history will repeat itself it
ia q good indication OF q healthy summer.
