police force.
Adjourned to Wednesday night.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Messrs. Cochran and Weller were pres
ent as were the counsel on both sides, but
there being no witnesses present to be ex-
amined the committee adjourned.
LAST NIGHT.
Messrs Cochran and Weller were present,
and Mr.. Witt again absent.
Mr.. q. G. Doyle testified to the fact that
the police dispersed crowds at three differ
emf points Christmas night who were firing
crackers. and in one case where they were
only singing. Thought from observation
that the police was efficient. Thought it
impossible for police to single out man
firing crackers. Saw nothing in the crowds
threatening life or property. The order
of the city now is somewhat better than
under the former police force.
STATEMENT OF ANOTHER COUNCILMAN.
Mr.. Thos. A. Bledsoe testified that on
Christmas night he was in his office and
heard a good deal Of noise of tin horns, sc
on the street. About O'Clock heard con
siderable explosion at his window and g
stick raked down it. After while went tt
the door. Saw crowd who shouted, called
his name, halloei speech" and threw
crackers at him. Saw them stop a man
and make him put his lantern out. Crowd
did not seem angry, or offering indignity
except throwing the pop-crackers. Had
no doubt at the time that it was done on
account of his vote on the pop-cracker or
dinance. The crackers thrown at him were
single and not thrown with any
violence. The crowd only came once

trough Of the Hudson diagonally, and
probably because this had been filled I'D
with transported material, was by it lit
tie DETECTED from it's course. In other
localities the old river valleys were some-
times completely obliterated, and the
drainage Of the surface given new chan
nels and even new direction. To this
cause we may attribute the blocking IN
Of the old line Of drainage from the lake
basin through the Hudson, and it's diver
sion to the present course of. the st. Law
renee. Now that the glaciers have left
this region and have retreated again to
the far north, we everywhere see evidence
OF the stupendeous changes they wrought
in the country over which they moved.
North of the line which marks the mar
gin Of the glacies we find the contour
lines rounded over and softened, ridges
of grant converted into domes, and the
hardest rock grooved and striatcd, or
ground smooth and even polished. The
whole surface of New York Island, where
the rock is exposed, shows marks of gla
clal sctlon, the upturned edges of gueiss
being ground OF to form nearly plain
surface, or where ridges of more massive
rock had existed, these are rounded over
to form roches moutonnees. Fine exam
pies OF the latter may be seen in Central
Park, and on the east side of the Island

Laughed Herself to Death.

lFromthe Providence Journal. De-. "a
One of the most extraordinary
deaths that ever was chronicled in
this city occurred yesterday, and is
to-day the talk of the town, The cir
cumstances are as follows Mr..
Joshua Walker is a respectable colored
nan residing on Fillmore street, and
married a short time since a young
Oma of excellent character and
who was not quite twenty years oil
age. Joshua proved "a worthy has
band, always looking after the house
hold comforts. Day before yesterday
he purchased some fresh pork which
he intended TO salt down for the COM
ing cold weather. Yesterday he went
to the cupboard for the purpose of OBJ
tanning salt with which to make brine
for the picking, and took from a jar
what he presumed was the required
article, thereafter proceeded tothe Gel
lar to use 1t on the meat. His wife,
Rosa, being about her household du-
ties, did not notice what the husband
was about, but when she came down
from the chambers made the discovery
almost immediately that Joshua had
taken a quantity Of graduated
to salt the pork. She did not rave
and get mai, but possibly had she ia
ken that turn she would not now be
lying cold IN death. Instead she set
out to a hearty laugh, going to the
spot where her husband was. Her
laughter continued for some time,
there being not the least cessation.
She laughed and laughed and laughed,
her presumed merrlment getting more
boisterouS each moment. Finally the
husband became alarmed and sent out
for assistance, and 500 his landlord,
Deacon Henry Hazard, arrived, wit
Messing in a few minutes the poor wo-
mans departure, 1t ID hoped, for the
better land. She had positively
laughed herself to death. The hus-
bands horror at this extraordinary re-
salt of his innocent mistake can be
better imagined than described. He
was warmly attached to hi. young
wife, and it is fitting. In drawing the
veil over this terrible scene. to say
that they were both exceedingly wor-
thy persons and that the husband has

this his hour of trouble.

Mortality in the South.
BY r. J.. BRAMHALL.

Ii is almost universally believed
abroad and generally conceded at
home that the Southe-l States are ma
turallv more uni ealthy aid thai dis
ease and the ate of mortality Is
greater there than In the northern
portion of the Union. Before the
war, Northern Life Insurance Com
panieS were always Ia OF southern
fisl S. Since that epoch, In spite OF a
somewhat vigorous attempt to ext d
their field southwark, hey have gen.
orally withdrawn Their Southern agen-
cies. and most of tn / prohibit their
policy holders from entering certain
Southern States or going southwark
of a certain line during the summer
season. Wealthy Southerners have
been IL the habit of spending the
heated te m ct Northern w. +ering-
places { Id most people unco' oas-
ly associate miasma, fever, We nous
reptiles, and excessive heat with
southern ATTITUDES.
Intelligent travellers ca sea ceIy
fail to- observe many Fhlr TO cause
them to re Dnsider ant reject the
ideas generally en- ertalned on tins
subject. but after all. accurate --atls-
tics only can decide the question.
These are difficult to obtain, yet we
think there are abundant reasons TO
believing, not only that the South, as
L who e, will favorably compare in
s~alubrity with the Northern Statas,
but that, leaving out a comparatively
very small territory of 81. amp n
bayou. it is as healthy section as can
be found in the Union. Sanitary
science and vital statistics lave never
received ne same att on In the
South as in the North, / the data
for their consideration ID therefore
much more limit-d. In a vety few
Southern States do the laws require
proper regis ration of births and
deaths, and in those few the provisions
Of law are 90 frequently disregarded.
Even in the larger cities the greatest
la2ity prevails and tends to narrow
the tie' of available inquiry, while
medical writer's do not seem to AVE
given the subject the attention it de-
serves.
The most valuable monograph that
the writer has seen on the subject, is a
paper read by DR.. Frank II. Orme, OF

Doubtless the place where he lies

that his own hands placed at the head
