The recent account Of the prcvalency OF lep.
rosy in San Francisco is supplemented by a
later one, giving description of three cases Of
the same disease that have just been discovered
in New York. From the history and symptoms
of the cases, as narrated, We are inclined 10 be-
lieve that leprosy, ct the character described,
prevails 10 every city Of the world-in other
words that the disease alluded to is not true
leprosy, but is of more recent syphiitic origin,
and that the accounts TO which We refer were
written for the purpose Of increasing the exist
ing antipathy to the Chinese.

Heating Houses by Steam,

To the Editors of the Dispatch
Some months ago asked 4 practical man
how much it would cost to put in three
story house the fixtures required to heat it
by steam. ...r.--. ...
"Fiye or six hundred dollars" he re-
Piled .-... 81. ....--...
".And how much would be the additional
cost in fuel above what is paid to keep the
stove or range going?"
"Thirty or forty dollars"
$50 that single fire would then heat the
whole housc?" ..l
eyes, one fire."
This short conversation set me to think
ing. The houses that are now being built
contain 4 great many conveniences that
were never thought OF in former times-such
as closets, ranges, stationary wash-tubs, &C.,
and often Latrobe stoves. Landlords are
much more mindful Of the wants Of their
tenants than they used to be. Suppose, now,
| they 20 step further, and build houses
heated by steam, what immense saving,
what comfort to tenants, would result
Who will be the good Samaritan to begin
this much-needed reform? And how surely
such houses would be rented in preference
to any others! The custom in the northern
cities is to build only houses that can be
warmed by hot air or by steam. Why should
not the same custom obtain here?

THE REVENUE CAsEs-HUSTINGs COURT
The Hastings Courtroom yesterday pre-
sented an unusual appearance during the
trial OF some OF the revenue cases. The
proceedings were so monotonous that every
spectator was driven away, and the only
persons in the room were the Judge, w.
w. Cosby, Esq, acting CommonWealth'
Attorney, the Clerk, the Sergeant OF the City,
Assistant Commissioners OF the Revenue
Wilks and wilkins, who were witnesses in
the revenue cases, and the members OF
the jury. The dull routine proceedings
finally became ridiculous, and the grave
Judge could not refrain from an
occasional laugh. The Sergeant called
the names of the persons charged with fai-
ing to procure their licenses (having been
previously summoned to appear) rs their
| cases came up, but generally there was no
response, and the same dry proceedings
| were had-thc jury sworn, the indictment
read, the attorney stated the case, the Com
missioner OF the Revenue testified that the
defendant had not taken out the license re-
quircd by law, the verdict OF g guilty" was
written by the clerk, the foreman signed it.,
and the case was over. And so it went on
during the entire day.
The following persons were fined $50 by
the jury according to law for failing
to procure licenses for their business or
profession Lucy Blair, James Hickman,
James Winston, James Clarke, Joseph
Woodward, H. r. Cronie, Jerry Rsdd, Jul
Illus Loeth, Wilson Bray, Catherine Breeder,
Josephine Burley, William Blair; r. B.

ter, $50; Theresa Baccigalupo. Mary Bel

The following were tried and acquitted {:
Catherine Cullen, David Thompson, Char
lotte Dabney, Sarah Thomas, NJ. Bates, Da-
vid Holmes.
Some few OF the parties who were con-
victed, and some vino were acquitted du-
ring the day, appeared in person.
The trial OF revenue cases will be con-
tinued to-day at II O'Clock.

2 A Chesterfield Engineer Abroad.-A letter
in the Warren Sentinel from the manganese
mines OF Shenandoah county speaks in the
most complimentary terms OF their superin.
tendent, Job Atkins, Esq, late OF the Mid
lothian eoal.mines in Chesterfield. 1t says:
;MUnder his superintendent, this 'bo-
nanza of manganese bids fair to become a
source of great profit, to the company and
the people Of this Valley, as In. the last
six weeks, besides the other great improve
menLs that have heen made, there have Deen
taken out and filed about 125 barrels Oh the
finest manganese, each weighing from 47o
to 500 pounds" sTsY -i1l, tE-li
Mr. Atkins's reputation as mining engl-
neersis far extended. He took these mines
about six weeks ago, when they were con-
sidered almost worthless. ..a..
Mr.. Atkins Is known as whole-souied,
high-toned gentleman, and his many friends
in Chesterfield will rejoice to hear OF bis
good fortune. 80. ,s-ss 4
