COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Before Judge Dowling. A Discord About a Piano, Mr. Alexander Cantazaran, a member of the Board of Trade, residing at 299 Fifth avenue, was chargea on the complaint of Messrs. Haines, pianoforte dealers, 46 East Fourteenth street, with unlawfully Gisposing of a pianoforte hired by him from them in August last. Mr. Howe, who appeared for the defendant, urged that the defendant purchased the pianoforte, to be paid for by monthly instalments of $33 33, and that the sending this pianoforte to an auction room for sale was not a fraud. The complainant, Mr. Haines, on the other hand, said that tne pianoforte was sold in the usual way in which they did their business— that is, the complainant agreea to purchase a piano on certain terms, and that those terms were included in an agreement, which he signed. They produced the agreement, signed by the defendant, stating that the payments were to be twelve dollars per month, and that he was not to remove the instrument from the house in which it was placed, No. 209 Fifth avenue, without tleir consent, and that they were to retuin @ title to the piano, ‘The defendant said that ne signed the agreement Without reading 1t, believing It to be the saine as the Verbal ageement that be made with Messrsa, Haines’ clerk. He explained that he wished the Messrs, Haines to take back the pianoforte, as the lady tor whom he haa a purchased it had decided to stay in Europe instead of returning to America. Ge then offered to pay for it, but they declined to receive the money, except by @ forfeiture of payments that he did not consider just. Hence the dispute arose, and when he gent the pianoforte te the auction room of Messrs, Johnston & Van Tassell he was arrested, Judge Dowling held that an offence had been com- mitted by the violation of the signed agreement, but as Messrs. Haines did not wish to prosecute, he would suspend sentence on the defendant. He thought the defendant was too intelligent a man to sigh an agreement ill reading it. BROOKLYN CSURTS.

The Gtreets, Public Schools and Tnfected Districts. ‘Ths following tmportant communication explains all the facts connected with the existence of small- pox im this city, over the oMcial signature of Dr. Harris:— TO THR SECRETARY OF THR METROPOLITAN Board or Heauria Siz—I have the honor to supmit to the Board of Health a brief summary of the records of smallpox in New York during the pase sixteen montis. This record seems to be due to the public in this con densed form, a8 it Is atruta im public hygiene that the people have aright to be wormed of all that can be known concerning apy perils to life or health to which they are or to which they have been ex- -posed. An epidemic of sinaiipox is now passing @way, and the records of 16 when completed aud analyzed Will be instructive and useful to the world, And if some of the events in this recent outbreak shail chance to disturb and weaken the popular trust in what has hitherto been called vaccination, the re- sults that have attended tie efforts of the sanitary Ollicers to give all practicabie efficacy to the Jen- uerion practice of vacoine imnecculation will help to rectify a bilnd popular belief that merely to have been marked wilh a scar on the arm without regard to the nature of the virus that wade the vegicie and scar, Was an insurance agaist smallpox. An epidemic of smalipox became an inevitadle fact twelve mouths ago, It was announced as being certain to come. Facts which we knew and men- toned to the Board in December, 1868, and even a8 early a8 June of that year gave us more anxiety in regard to the inevitable course of smalipox than could have been caused by cholera, We tnen estt- mated tat wore than 100,000 persons In tbls city were not protected by an adequate and trustworthy vaccination. Eariy in Febrnary the medical oMcers of this Board began to vaccinate and urge vaccination in the more unprotected portions of tne city, Suil the diseuse gained rapidly by means which the Board could nos reach and control. Upwards of 1,000,000 of people, and nearly 700,000 closely packed in over- crowded tenements, presented a task which cowd only be partially completed before midsummer, The children and wholly unvaccinated persons only could be vacetnaved, Previous to July 1 tne Sapi- tary Inspectors had vaccinated about 45,000 persons of these classes, mosily young children; neariy 30,000 were vaccinated In the month of June. Using selected and carefully cultivated virus only, almost the entire stock which matured week by week was required by the Boara’s bo gre During the months of July, August and September smallpox veased almost. pom nlerey througnout all those sections of the city in which the work of cnild vaccination was nearly complete, For example, in the Sixteenth and Twentieth wards, which bad no less than sixty-eight cases of smallpox under our care-in the months of and June, where, also, the disease Was malignant in character, there was ex- ceedingly thorough work in the house to house vac- eination; and irom July 15 to December 1 only seven More cases of the disease occurred, and those mostly Where the offer of vaccination bad been refused in june. The subjoined records show that in the three months euding July 13, 208 cases of smallpox came under the observation of sanitary inspectors; and that in the next succeeding three montus 177 cases of the same disease were 1eporied to us. The oittee y records show that nine-tenshs of the cases during tne latter period were found jn the East Houston district; and, further, what these were almost ex- ciusively Germans and the young infants of Ger- mans, The particular district in which these events occurred occupies less than one square mile, and contains nearly 250,000 tnhabitauts. The Tenement House Sanitary Survey found in many of the single blocks or squares 2,600 or even 2,700 permanent residents. The work of vaccination Was not iutermitted, vut as the cold weather came on and families snut up thelr apart- ments more closely the contagion spread from more than a hundred centres in that eastern distrigt; and trom the last week in October antil the last Wek in January we have had lo take charge of 98) cases of smallpox (mostly vartoloid), and chiefly within the Darrow limits of the diacrict whtcn is bounded by East Twentieth street, the East river, Broome street, Bowery, Houston street and First avenue, In tne duty of vaccinating and house to house inspection the entire medical corps has been on duty inces- santly, the Sanitary Superintendent's office being closed only fromm midnight until eight A. M. dally, ena no effort or toil veing spared im the duty of the jour. During all this time the puplisin the public schools have, so far as we are informed, remained free irom smallpox, except in the case of five unvaccinated children. The duty of vaccination in the scnoow was generally well attended to last June. . ‘The following tables present a statistical record o! the namber of deaths from sinailpox in the hospital, the number in dwelling houses, the number of cases reported by quarters for the year euding December 31, ned and by weeks from January 1 to February 5, 1S70:— 16 Tt) “ai 38 29] 177 Whole No.doaths tug) au] 22] 46) No. of casos.

RECEPTION OF SMALLPOX PATIENTS FROM COUNTRY Ww TOW Several persons have at various times come in from country towns when sick with smalipox, and have immediately been placed in the ambulance of the Commissioners of Onarities, Remonstrauce after an act of this kind is 1 little avail, but the peo- ple receive it somewhat sternly worded, togewer With fresh vaccine virus for their benetit, THE SICK AT HOME, The rules for the management of smalipox in dwellings and elsewhere are as rapidly euforced as possibie. They are kindly received and appreciated in the printed card ta aitierent languages, THE SICK IN THB STRELTS. Occasionally & wanderer, homeless or arriv- ing from @ country town, makes hia way to the Board’# headquarters or is arrested and secluded, but ifagis warrant the sSanilary Superintendent in asserting that, notwithstanding the terrible amount of the eens which has been concentrated in the Bast Houston district, there has been and now 1s @ greater dogree of security against exposure to contagion in the commercial and hotel quarters of the city and throughout the jon west of Second avenue—that is, in nine-tenths of the en- tire area of the clty—than in country towps or along the great railroad routes westward, so far as expo- sure tn streets and hotels is concerned, SMALLYOX NOW UNUSUALLY PREVALENT ACROSS THE TWO CONTINENTS—AN EPIDEMIC OF VARIOLOLD, AND ONE OV ITS CAUSES STATED, For more than a year past this disease has been and still is epidemic in several of tne more populous towns on the great routes of travel between the Pa- ciflo and the Atlantic, in the United States and the Briush possessions, The history of the outvreaks along these lines of migration and traiic is a plain one, but need not be recited here ; it is the old story of smallpox contagion, going wherever emigrants and travellers go whenever there is an epidetuic of.| this disease at the beginning or at any stopping place on their route. During the past fourveen montos, and to the present time, this disease has assumed a threatening and epidemic character in Northern Europe ; and tarough an epidemic of vartoloid—mod- ined smanpox—this loathsome contagion has conse- quentty been planted widely over both ponunenta, Smalipox+is at present very widespread from Mon- tana to New York, ana from Paris to Berlin and 4 Petersburg. ltis known to be nearly twice more revalent in Paris at present than it 1s in New York. Bu auch prevalence furnishes no apology for the causes that led to an epidemic of this contagion 10 New York or elsewhere, For it is @ shame, without apology, that any civilized peopié should stupidly Degiect to provide for the periect and proper vacci- Dation of every person. Aud I but repeat a beilef Waich 1s founded on facts that the great Jenuer taught and that experience is improving, that it 1s @public duty to derive the Kine pock viras freshly Irom the cow, its original source, at frequent inter- Vals, and to lave its cultivation under sanitary ob- servation and control at each generation Of is de- Scent trom the heifer through infants’ arms. Tho good providence which now enables us to vaccinate With virus that has yet been generated in ‘ess thap twenty personal generations [rom the sporadic and original source, adda vaine to the 60,000 vaccina- tions which have, during tne past few months, peon periormed gratuitously by the sanitary tuspectors of this Board. There is ample evidence that the peopta of Northern ae are not well protected by the vacci- nation which they have receivea, The present wide- spread prevalence of smallpox is now in evidence Sgainst the defective way in which yaccinauon ts, and for mauy years nas been managed, especially in all that relates to the coniunuous generation or cul- ture and preservation of vaccine virus, and aiso as regards the duty of revaccination. The partial (leebie) degree of protection which such degenerate vaccinia bas afforded has at last lod to disastrous consequences. As 1 stated 10 1867, 80 now I would state.

THE DISEASE DEORTASING IN NEW YORK A few weeks ago there were nearly 400 houses under sanitury care for this disease, The total number at the present date ts only 220 houses in which this disease has occurred during the past twenty daya, These dwellings are under very strict sanitary control, ‘The rate of decrease in the spread of the disease Warrants us in believing it will soon cease, aud the success of the revaccination in aduits nd children in all exposed districts is providing an impassabie barrier against the contagion.

I have already given your readers his mo:to—"Ad alta, per alta”—which means that tne higher he rises the higher he will go, so that after tne course of stretch- ing out we have got accustomed to with the ex- prefect, it 1s natural people should expect some novel piling up, and 1 confess my ‘magination is soaring to prodigious altitudes, If I felt no curt- osity, Vespetro says 1 should deserve to be pinaed to a cork and pluced in one of his butterfly collec- Uons, among those, he added, laughingly—and I don’t know why—who have tie longest “feelers.” Althongn | am very willing to state that the Hotel de Ville ball ts this week anticipated as a great attraction, still Ido not admit it Js the “vest” run of the season, for the worthy director of La Roquette prison has assured me Traupmann’s execution bad drawn most of any final performance he had seen in his life, especially ladies, None but those whose high position tn life gave thein an undeniable right to attend were favored with tickets for & reserved room in the prison whence a view could be bad over the fatal platform, They kept ta¢ir veils down over their faces, and on leaving the prison when the guillotine had dropped, also held up their jewelled hands in order to conceal their featares enturely— and it was well they did so, Capoul, the tenor, occupied @ cell ia the prison, and slept there the might preceding the morning of the execution; other Parisian celebrities were also present, among them V. Sardou, A. Wolf and Maxime du Camp. Since this tragic event a lady, in what is styled high life, has written to the inspector of Traupmano’s cell to ask for notes, a8 she proposes to write iis Memoirs; ‘*would like details of his private lifo, his tastes, religious principles, and morals in general.” Tne letter has remained unanswered. Dougherty, my bluff friend, would have replied, “Madame, eight corpses ineight days, by the hand of your hero.” Short, but to the potnt. By the way Ihave more notes from him, dated Rome, since my last. He tells me that a committee of English and Americans have had so much of the Councit that they have assemMled for the organiza- tion oG@ few balis by way of something holier; that M. Dupanioup 1s sure to get a red hat, and 1s already called the “Ollivier of the Council.” It is very Sirange that sympathetic currents should run through the thoughts of friends. I have often com- pared M. Olivier to the “‘Dupanloup of tae Chaim- bers. The scaffold, the Council and the Chamber, how. ever fasnionavle, are somewhat serious subjects to dwellon, aA vopic which ia s shade lesa so is the toilette worn by Madame E. Ollivier at a Ministerial dinner given at the Tulleries, when this preuty blonde Was seated to the right of the Emperor. Ladies well koow what I mean by calling 1% @ shade only leas serious than the Council and the Chamber when I add that it was made of plain tarlatan, white, and had long sleeves, with @ bodice bigh behind and cut square in front, Never has such @ simple dinner dress been recorded in the annals of court circulars, those very full dressed publications. It was cer- tainly mtended as a protestation, a reform to tn. @ugarate, it may be surmised that Madame K. Olli. vier dtd not look well among all the gemmed and bare-necked beauties; but when I have completed tne description this opinion cannot be entertained, Her long hair, undulated loose dowp her back, was crossed above her brow only by a blue veivet rib- bon, on which stood out @ diamond star, and round her slender waist entwined a blue gash of the silk- Jest, softest touch. Afver this it may be interesting to relate her story of the way in which sie came to marry M. Kinile Olivier, who is 80 much older than herseif, “Weil,” she begins when asked, “I used to go aur Kaus (watering places); he used to come aux Kaur too; was @ little thimg; he was tall. The following year I went auz Kaus again, and go did he. I had ‘own a litie, he was much taller. The third year Went aur Kauz as usual, almost grown up, but he had got taller than betore, tall enough for both of oth #9 he drew me up to him and I became his wile, The happy couple have not yet given up their Modest home in the Rue St. Guillaume, but this Causes Sone annoyance, a# When the Muster gives his receptions be is compelled to hold court in the Ministerial palace, and arrives late. Then there 18 @ great deal or Be backwards and forwards from the offices of the Ministers to the Minister's home, which dignified peopie do nos like. The re- ceptions have to be presided by young Madame Olivier, however little she may like the display and \ue thickets of gentienen who press in {ties at least to every lady. At last the milvtress of the house Appeared in a high black velvet robe, and looked queenly with her jigbt auburn hair rolling 10 loose rings down her oack. Receptions haye also been held by the wives of the other Mintaters, at least of those who have wives. M. Daru has none, ant the honors are performed his daughter-in-law, Madame Beuutst d’ Azy; but Ohevandiar de Valdrome has a wife, a German lady and her eyes are as Liue a8 forgal-me-nots, de Vaidrome is a# mach in favor of reactionary tl- lettes as Madame Olivier. In wy last leer 1 de- scribed the costumed of Home of the opponents of reaction as seen at the wedding of Mile, Marion, now Madame la Vicomtesse Clarg. T now give tne toliette worn by the Empress on this occasion. Her Majesty bad chosen @ cigar shade and @ gros grain for thie tasteful dress. It was made with a tlounce round the skirt which was short, headed by black velvet and white lace. The abit or casque was trimined round with white lace very full under @ fall of deep, black fringe. Tho Waistband was of yeivet and clasped by @ black jet buckle, The hat of velvet was fastened by lappels of white lace under the chin, and a tuft of feathers rose on one side of the diagem, Your readers wil be sorry to hear that Kugénie of France has, of late, Appeared in less high spirits than usual, She weeps in private frequentiy aud thinks 1 hard to be uusre> presented by tae press aud slander, 1t {may be wllowed to give my opinion ,I will simply say tits is cruel, cowardly and shameful of those who do “throw a stone” at any woman Wio has goue through what che Empress has since sie was the ligut-nearted, buoyant Mile. de Montijo. ‘There never cervainly Was a sweeter Worman, & more devoted wile and motaer, a more graceful figure by the side of the hero of unis age, Napoleon LL.; nor ® more bewitching smile on any wortal face; nor 4 Warmer outstretched hand eltver. Dougherty grunts about her Papal tendencies and superstitions practicos; but Vespetro, who, when speaking of her, totally forgets he is speaking of an Empress, says there 18 not such @ pair of shoulders in ail France and Navarre; that no one carries toilet off as Ble does, Hor puts it together, nor pulls it to pieces, nor studies Mt, nor repairs ihe outrages of tune on her deleately moulded iuce, as she can, ‘The Princess de Metteraich 18 another high born Jandy who has been: pretty fairly discussed, bat she never cries; she does Dot care much aud outwardly braves it all, In private she has written her memoirs, only they are not to come out tii! alter her death, She opened tke German bau at the Grand Hotel, where the battle of sadowa “en chambre” was danced, That is the figure of a fashionable cotlllon, and couples proceed as foliows:—Cavaiers Stand down the dancing hal) side by sido, with their fair partners iu iront.

Wealth, Fashion and Beauty onthe Road— The Horses, Sleighs and People— A Brief Period of Winter— ‘Bolls! Belis! Bells 2 The paltry meanness by which a preinature spring hag euchred & Jong-koped-tor snowy wiuter out of white-bound drives, aud all the merry and Jolly fun of carnivals through the Park and up Hariem lane, received a temporary check in tno late fall of flakes and @ well deserved rebuke in the general hilarity and Joy prevailing during the past few days in every quarter of the rideabie city. Owners of stanci horses Went out to their stables at early hours, took a happy survey of their ficet flesh, cast satwfed glances at the family sleigh, gave @ nod of sco at the thick robes, snuffed with lively pleasuro the keen breezes, and wero hail fellows well met with the hostler and coachman. Tne animals were produced in finetrim and driven around to the door, Then the merchant stepped on board and, ‘with his family, drove down to business. So that for the brief term of snow the class who travelied behind fashionable horses was greatly enlivened by the presence of female conrpanions. Broadway, Bow- ery, Mercer street and other clear thoroughfares leading down town were the scenes of bright faces, sparkling eyes and numerous loads of style, beauty aud wealth, On Broadway the yielding mixture of snow and mud had assumed the softness of butter and the color of sand; yet, beyond the business portion—on the Bloomingdalo road and oa the extension of Eighth avenue in Westchester county— the chaos of bells, the fury of flying heels and tne audible utterances of delight from ths fair freight, from their companions, gave some idea of the first rate quality of egg nogg or “Jom and Jerry” pa- tronized on the road, Harlem jane, the peculiar ground of Boaner, Vanderbilt, and James Fisk, Jr., was howling witu glee. The runners dew over the snow with the velocity of @ billiard ball on a smooth surface, and the cargoes followed each other In quick succession with Httie interval, The frozen stratum was packed in loose fashion, was gradually worn smooth and after a time presented noting but a glassy Meld with little friction. The Park, Harlem lane aud Eighth avenue were particularly allve with every description of sleigh Shatever was seen In this or any otner country, The most popular clubhouse ou the road was crowded with a gay throng and the sheds fied with animals more costly than diamonds of the Brazilian mines, The plazas were weil tiled with experi- enced horsemen, aud as sleigh after sleigh went vy conversation Was animated in discussing ihe merits of the various horses, Awong the Countiess thousands were noticed Mr. Kobert Bonaer, with the “King” Dexter.
