Holtz. aged two years, by throwing it from a thira story window, at No. 109 North Howard street, lerday underwent a hearing before Justice ide, whenshe voluntarily made a confe sion, admitting the charge. and stating the de. taille of the occurrence. She stated that she climbed over a back shed into the third story, and removing the baby from its crib threw it ont the window fo the pavement below. For- tunately the child was saved trom instant death by falling onthe shouider ofa colored man psseing. She also acmitied having cut the child with aknifeseme days aco.

The English members of the conference were very loth to agree to this arrangement, which will virtually make the American dollar the unit for gold, and ‘tried to effect a compromise upor the ten franc plece. This, however, tailed; and now that the three principal com. mercial nations of the world are agreed upon astaudard, it is probable thatit will not be Jong before mest of the others will unice with them.

The local rains were sufficient todo’ cowsiderable damage in swelling them, and we understans they have been steadily rising from the immense fall of water in the up-country. The rice crop of the up-river planters in completely drowned out, and the restest gloom and despoadency prevail.” fext to cotton, rice bas been the great Southern staple, and tbe limited area and peculiar con- ditions requisite for its cultivation render its failure peculiarly unfortunate.

CRANIAL Typxs o¥ MAN AND Woman.— The female skni}, according to Weckler, is smaller than that of man, both.as regards bori- zoutal circumference and internal capacity, and the weight ot the brain is co: nding- ly lees. Jt may he said that the type of the fe- male skull approaches in many respects that Of the infant, and in astill greater degree that of the lower races. With this is convected tI remarkable fact that the difference bet ween ti Sexes, as regards the cavity of the skull, in- creases with the development of the race, so that the male European excels the female mach more than the negro does the negress. Such are the uttérances of science through one or its present expounders, Dr. Vogt, in mis lecture on man.

The par- ticular point now considered is whether the people in voting on the new constitation shall er shall not vote separately on the clanse pro- viding for colered sufirage.

CRurch. on 4th street east, at the diwtribution of medals and minms to the pupils of the Public Schools in the Third School District, was an excellent one, and elicited warm applause. He spoke of the many advantages of a good education, and urged the pupils to apply themsetves to their s . Referring to our public school system in this District, he spoke very highly of the same, but expressed the hope th: ‘Would soon have the most perfect system here of any city in th United States, for he desired to see the National bp gases take the lead in everything to advance faye eyes ‘th _ rovegs of mank: oe fore presenting the medals and premiums, Mayor ‘Wallach, in @ brief address, expressed his pleasure at being able to present the same, ard regretted that prizes could not be given in the other districts, not because the Corporation ‘was not abje, but en account of plans being on foot to increase the efficiency of our school system and establish new schools. At the conciusion of the distribution Mr. Rhees, of the Seeond District, presented the gold medal, given by him for the best spelling, to Miss Jos rich, of the Female Gram- mar School, she not having missed a single ‘word in the spelling book.

Danbam Was overruled, and. the sentence of the Vourt to 10 years imprisonment in the Albany peni- tentiary ordered to be carried into effect. Yee. terday morning, Rowever, Judge Lander, counsel for the accused, filed an appeal from. the decision of the Court, and also. motion te suspend the execution of the sentence, and the Court, after stating thatthe appeal must be beard at anearly day, directed that an order be issued to the warden of the jail not to re- move ihe prisoner unt.) turther orders. The warden of the jail, Mr. Brown, who is in Boston, bearing that a new trial had been re- fused,telegraphed to Mr. Cronip, one of the of- ficers at the jail, to take the prisonerto Albany, starting this morning, but the order of the Conover, it will be recollected, was tried and in falsely swearing before the Judiciary Come mittee of the House of Representatives in re- gerd to the aseassination plot. He has but little fear of going to the penitentiary, and is confident that he will obtain a new trial and be released on bail. 11 is but due to the Warden to say, in view of the many reports which haye been pub- lished to the effect that he has, of his own ac- cord, been keeping the accused here that cer- tain members of Congress mght endeavor to obtin from him evidence to be used before the Impeachment Committee, thut the prisoner has been several times notified that he would be taken to prison, an¢ as often has the order of the Court directed that he be held over be- cause of pending motions for new trial, ap- Peuls of prisoner's counsel, &c. pases Rs ea a ExEcuTINo THE Hoe LAw.-Yesterday morn- ing at an early hour an efficient officer of the Third Ward having walkea his beat for sever- al hours without making an arrest seeing a Jarge hog ranning loose determined todosome- thing towards enforcingthe law in reterence to swine ronning at large, and with some little difficulty captured the *Porker.” No carts or wagons being at band the officer made his way to the station, carrying his prize by the hind leg with considerable difficulty. When near- ing the station one of the day officers seeing the hog approach with the night officer attached bailed him with “What bave you been doing?” to which the answer came ng out the hog law,” and the officer deposited his capture on the floor of the station, and after some little “rigging” by bis brother officers as to having supposed that he was a horse, cart and driver the hog was placed in the yard of the station until transportation to the almshouse is pro- cured.

It isa project porely interést of this city will use his influence to prevent its passing from the control of the city, The canal, for commercial purposes, is ‘now abd always will be of little ac- count, ‘whether The rap if sold to speculators, will never be di es RL 4 contemplate no such thing. It would fil) again in eix months, and they Know it. But should they be stimulated to guarantee to dredge once. for the thrift that may follow, there aré several grave reasons ‘why it should not be done. It is the material outlet of the sewerage of the city, ob- serving min ted the changes that are taking alce ‘this city, and which every y ultiply, in thé construction of our dwellings. ‘Modern tnprovements are ‘being imtrodued, and what has heretofore been carried away from the city by scdvengers now finds its way to the sewers that empty into the canal.

By doimg this, Jateathe property now un- Productive would be reclaimed, which these epeculators are after, and the city would coin ‘what is now 8 nuisance intoa substantial gain. Other reasons suggest themselves why it ehould mot be ured for commercii Fires. It ‘would perpetuate in the midst ef this city the sickening spectacle that now presents itself daily abont the canal. We have ample river ‘front for alt the pai of a great commer- cial city. To confine commerce there. would be to remove from the heart of the city the garbage and filth ps engendered by trade. Abandoning the canal between Seventeenth street and Roc! ik, and also abandoning the channel on the Virginia shore, and opening acbannel from ‘town on this shore, as ‘Yecommended by Engin Rives, then all the products freighted by Chesapeake and Ono canal could be brought direct to this city, via Rock Creek outlet This would lea: to Georgetown an opportunity to develop her matehlers water-power, now undeveloped, ‘which would infuse mto that city a new life, Temoving atl symptoms of basiness gout, mak- ing ber what she ought to have been long ago— sere that would rival Lowell. e cl ter to float ships from Georgetown to the sea, drawing at least fifteen feet of water. : T.T.

He | immediately offered a reward of $500 for its | recovery, but obtained no tidings of the missing | package.” Becent developments have led to | the belief that the money was found by an old | negro, who kept it. On Sunday light last a young negro restole the money, and the old | one made an affidavit before Squire Jones and had him arrested. Various circumstances led tothe belief that this was the missing money of Colonel Fowler. The military interfered, the negroes were arrested, and upon being pat to tests which are not usually resorted to in such proceedings, the elder negro confessed that he had found the money and had xept it, and the younger admitted that he had stolen it from him. The younger negro, however, could not be induced to give it up, but under the application of cAnstic remedies, not recog- nized by the Freedmen‘s Bureau, alleged that he had given it, first to one white man, then | another, all of them men of respectability, and which stavements proved to be false, until at last he charged it upon a very respectable young man, who is now under arrest —Jifer- ton (Texas) Ti disease.
