The estimable wife of Robert Bonner,
publisher of the New York Ledger, died
in that city on Monday, April |, 1878.
Her maiden name was Jane McConlis.
She was a native of county Donegal
Ireland and came to America in 1887,
being 10 years old. In 1850 she was
married to Mr.. Bonner, then celebrated
rs the fastest compositor in America.
Five years after Mr.. Bonner realized his
dream of starting the most popular
serial weekly in America, If not in the
world, and upon money earned, as he
afterwards stated publicly, lat the case.
The young couple lived modestly, but
respectfully, and with the building up
of colossal fortune, reared family Of
healthy and happy children, who, with
a large circle Of mourning friends, on
Tuesday, followed the mother to the
grave.

LOCAL MATTERS.

COLD AND Snowy WEATnER-ICE.-Upt to
about the goth instant the weather had been
remarkably pleasant. While there were
occasional heavy frosts and cold snaps,
there was no ice OF continued cold spell.
At sunrise on the morning OF the 2Oth,
week ago to-day, the mercury stood at lo0
Fahrenheit. 1t has been cold and clear
since then until yesterday, when 1t read
lao, the day before being ITO. This, with
the calm, still weather, allowed ice to form,
and carly-risers might have seen the river
frozen over from shore to shore at kocketts
and nearly up TO Mayo's bridge. All the
ponds in the ncighborhood have been frozen
over for several days, and ice was harvested
Yesterday from three to four inches thick;
the BASIN was completely covered with ice,
and the canal was frozen oyer as far up the
country as heard from.
Tbe winds have mostly been from the
north and northwest. Yesterday morning
it changed to the east, and during the day
there was a slight fall of snow, with indl-
cations Of more in the next few hours. the
barometer-such rs is in use in the signal
service-also indicated falling weather.
About 5 O'Clock last evening 1t COM
menced showing again, and was still snow
ing at midnight.

FIRES YESTERDAY AFTERNooN.-About
o:1O p. NJ. yesterday, as the Chief Engineer
OF the Fire Department was coming from a
visit to Mr.. Elijah Baker little boy hailed
him and asked if he was not Captain Alnslie,
of the Fire Department, and said that a
house on Strecker's Hill was on fire. Salts
flying himself that it was necessary to call
out the Department, he turned in m alarm
at Station 90, corner Seventeenth and Mar
shall streets. The fire proved to be the
burning of the roof OF MIR. A. McAuley's
dwelling on Strecker's Hill, caused by CHM
ney-sparks. Loss, $50.
Last night at 1920 O'Clock an alarm was
sounded from Station 90, corner of Seven
teenth and Marshall streets, caused by the
burning OF an unoccupicd framed dwelling
house, IN rear of No. 621 Seventeenth street,
owned by Dr.. John Knox. Loss. $3.50.
Cause OF fire not asccrtained but was prob
ably the work Of an incendiary. g..
