The District in Congress-.

BUSINESS BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
TO-DAY.
The House committee on the District of Co
lumbia today after hearing accorded VIM.
Z. Chandler. Gen B. F. Butler and ex Repre-
sentative Eldridge. decided to withhold from
reporting to the House for the present the bin
to forfeit the charter of the Washington Mar
representatives of the company hearing next
week.
Col: Robert Christy and Judge Dent were
heard in opposition to the bill the committee
had agreed to report favorably with reference
to assessments in the District. They took the
ground that the assessments, as originally
made. were in violation of law, and that the
proposed bill would. in effect, give legality to
what are held to be illegal acts.
Mr. Brooks. of this city, made an argument
in favor of game law in the District and the
imposition of a tax on dogs.

WINTER NOT A HEALTHY SEAsoN.-There is
no greater fallacy than the opinion held by
many, particularly the young and strong and
vigorous, that winter, especially a sharp,
frosty one, with plenty of snow, IS the most
healthy season of the year. Very few persons
seem to realize the fact that cold is the condi-
ton OF death, and that, in both warm and cold
climates, it is our unconscious effort to main
tain our bodily heat at a temperature of $50
that wears US out To this temperature called
" blood heat" every cubic inch of oxygen that
our own bodily heat, or life ceases. Since in
cold weather the maintenance of a sufficiently
elevated bodily temperature becomes very
often a difficulty too great for our strength
the advent of severe winter is really more to
be dreaded than the visitation of peStience.

Saturday, six miles south of Midlothian, in
Chesterfield county. The hunt was a com pli-
ment to Messrs. HiggersOn and O'Harrow. of

Burrows. of Richmond. There were dozen
or more riders and twenty-five dogs i'm the
field, and the chase was led by MesSrs Lester
and MaSruder, of Chesterfield, two of the most
experienced hunters and toughest riders in
the county. The result of the chase was two
buSheS-One red and one gray. The first broke
cover about o'clock a. M, and led the hnnt-
ers across the country at a rafting rate. and
was Killed after chase of about two hours
and half, the whole party being in at the
death. The dogs were we'll punched during
the entire time, and made the welkin ring
with their music. The second fox was killed
after very short run. Some of the country
hunted over was very rough, and some very

THE LAW AS TO GOODS BROUGHT HERE FOR
SALE BY AUCTION.
Under act of Congress approved March 3. 1877
entitled an act for the support of the govern
ment of the District of Columbia for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1875 and for other pur-
poses. there is required of any person bringin q
goods OF any character whatever into the Dis
trlct Tor sale by auction to pay to the collector
a tax OF one and one half per centum: and ii
IS made the duty of the auctiOneer making
such sales to deduct from the gross proceeds
OF each and every sale so made by him at the
close OF each days sale, and pay the same to
the collector, and failure SO to do is punishable
with fine OF not less than one hundred dol
lars. This requirement is being hon
Ored more in the breach than in the observ-
ance, and the regular trade is feeling some
what annoyed at the failure to have the law
enforced. The complaints are also made
against those dealers who are nOminally sell
ing out, but daily repleniShng their stocks

caps, boots. shoes, &c This repleniShed stock
is sold at auction daily, nj gnt and morning: is
