In the afternoon’ Pacific Mail betrayed weakness, and gradually declined, under reports circulated by the “bears” that they had compromised with the “bull” clique and closed their contracts, and was still farther depressed by the suing out of a new in- Junction, said to be granted this time by one of the City Hall Judges, forbiuding the officers of the Om "Change to-day wheat was heavy.

THE REDEMPTION OF THE “CALLED” BONDS. ‘The Assistant Treasurer casned checks to-day to ‘the extent of only $280,000 in redemption of the five- twenty bonds, some of which. belonged to the first all. The interest on the $20,000,000 designated in fhe call of December 7, 1871, ceased to-day. Most of the bonds were held in Europo, and were, doubt- lesa, largely bought in by the Assistant Secretary of ‘the Treasury, Judge Richardson, pending his so- journ there. The bonds must be sent to Washing- ‘ton for examination previous to redemption, and checks will be forwarded to the owners, payable at she nearest Sub-Treasury. The owners of the’bonds Delonging in this country have shipped their bonds to Washington only within the past few days, s0 ‘that the @elay in their payment is not surprising. ‘The foreign bonds will be brought by Judge Rich- ardaen, who ts expected back from Europe ahortly. MONEY ACTIVE. . Hopi! ‘The money market wads active, and at times father stringent, The government dealers and the stronger class of stockbrokers paid seven per cent trom the start. After two o'clock there was & ‘sharp demand from the stock houses, which was generally met at seven, coin, with a few transac- ttions at e commission of 1-32, The closing dealings at 7, coin, a 1-32 The greater scarcity of fs attributed to the active movement on the Stock Exchange, where the current daily volume of Dusiness is large enough to give full employment to all the surplus capital of the street. ‘The “April settiements” have not been provided for ‘@8 yet, sothat opinions in the street differ very much as to the course of moncy the next four weeks. ‘The country banks have pretty fair oalances in New York, and, if disposed to draw upon them, cuuld ‘precipitate a stringent market. Prime paper 1s quoted 7 834 per cent discount. Poreign exchange was steady, as previously quoted—that is, the leading Orawers were asking is barely possible that the two parties have com- Promised, but it 1s most unlikely, for the “pull” clique had gained a control of the stock which would have enabled them to do pretty much what they pleased with its price, especiatly as the “short” interest ‘was not only extensive enough, but rich enough to have stood a very severe “twisting.” However, should the settlement really have been made it will not have been the first time the outside public were left in the lurch while the cliques compromised with each other and then turned around to specu- late against the street, Whatever the actual facts about the matter, it is evident that the Pacific Mail has brought the Heathen Chinee to perambulate Wall street once more to excite the wrath of innu- merable Kill Nyes—a train of thought which further suggests the theory that the Pacific pool have been playing ’possom all the afternoon and submitting to a fresh injunction and a fresh attack of the “‘bears’’ in order to make their eventual victory the greater. ‘M@antime it was noticea that Erie was in active de- mand. Later in the aay the heavy purchases from 33% up to 36% were traced to the Erie Ring, who, short of the stock in anticipation of defeating the repeal of the Classification law, found themselves underthe necessity of buying in in oraer to cover these sales, as well as to provide “long” stook with which to vote should the repeal bill be carried. ‘Their inability to issue new stock is the result of an injunction granted by~ the United States Court, which they have not dared to set ‘at defiance, and hence the opinion got abroad that the Erle Ring were for once in their life badly scared at the prospect of affairs in the State capital, ‘Thus the market presented in the afternoon the con- trast of a steady deoline in Pacific Mail and a steady rise in Erte, all the other speculative fancies follow- ing which they listed, revolving about in a sort of grand contra dance, .golng up ’and down or waltz- ing about in pretty near the same spot, until the hour of five brought tlie day to a close, and left the lookers-on greatly undecided as to whether it was a “pull” or a “bear,” a strong or @ weak market that 1003¢ for sixty day sterling and 11034 for sight bills, | prevailed when the shutters were drawn over the ‘while the later were selling fully 3s below the coun- eer rate, GOLD DULL—110 a 110%. ‘The gold market was intensely dull, the dial hav- ing changed only five times during the session of | portals of the Exchange.

The Commissioners of Docks met yesterday after- noon at two o’clock in the rooms of the Department of Docks, corner of Broadway and Franklin street. Mr. Wilson G. Hunt presided and all of the other members were present. After order had been called the minutes of the last weekly meeting were read and adopted. Mr. John T. Agnew read a report of THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEB ™ reference to the leasing of the south side of pier 22, North River, to Mr. T. H. Starin; also a report 1m favor of the petition of Mr. William &. Carr, who asks, in behalf of the International Hlevating Asso- clation, for permission to bulld, at bis own ex- pense, at the foot of Sixty-third street, East River, @ dock for unloading grain for the Second and Third avenue railroads, The report recommends tne Board toenact by a resolation that the desired per- mission ve granted, provided the dock be built in the form of acrib and that the petitioner pay the rent of the land under water which it will occupy at the rate of $400 yearly. Another report was read in relation to the petition of Mr. Thomas Kane, who enlarges upon the dangerous condition of PIERS NOB. 50, 51 AND 62 RAST RIVER, and prays that tney be repaired so as to render them serviceable for the unloading of large veasela, Other petitions to the same effect had been received, and the Executive Committee recommended that the petitioners be informed that the private owners of the plers had alreaay applied to the Board for their purchase. When the Board acquired sufficient funds to secure the ttlé to the property it would tnen be placed in a condition of perfect repair, The petition of Mr. A. M. Pentz tor the lease of 140 feet of BULKHEAD OW THIRTEENTH AVENUE, at the foot of West Twelfth street, North Kiver, was recommended by the Executive Committee to be denied, as the premises mentioned were required for the usage of the Bureau of Engineers of the De- partment. The Executive Committee also, in re- Porting upon the repor: o1 Superintendent Ransom, of the Fourth Water district, recommended that Superintendent Westerveit be directed to repair the platform on piles at the intersection of Rivington and East streets, wnich had been DANGEROUSLY DAMAGED BY THE IOB AND CURRENTS, the expense & be woout three hundred dollars. ‘These reports of the Executive Committee were sev- erally adopted. In the report of Superintendent Ransom, as above referred to, 11 was stated that the platform supported on piles at the intersection of Kivington and Kast streets was in danger of being carried away at any time by the ice and river currents, He thought that this platform shoula be replaced by a block and a pler extending out to the pier tine. REPAIRING OF PIERS, Superiptendent Westerveit's report in relation to work done in uis department dunng the past month was read. Piers Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 37 had been slightly re- paired; the pier at the foot of Horatio street nad been repaired after being damaged by tne ice; the pler at the foot of ‘Twenty-sixth street, North River, had aiso been repaired, and the triangular buiknead now building between piers Nos. 34 and 35 tor Homer Ramsdelt and the Erie Katlway Company was nearly completed. ‘these two reports were reé- ferred to the Executive Committee, COOKING ¥UMES. A communication from the Commissioners of Pilots, complaining that a most disagreeable eniuvia prevailed at midday at the foot of Maiden lane trom a cooking shanty near the bulkhead, and asking that it be removed, was referred to tne Executive Committee, LACK OF MONEY. Commissioner Woop suggested that in order to reduce the expenses of the aepartment the experts who had been for some time employed by the Board be dismissed; for if Comptroller Green would give thom no money with which to pay their employés 1t was most injudicious for the Board to make itself bankrupt. Instead of the $250,000 which they had hoped to have at their disposal, they had only about sixty thousand dollars. ‘This was merely a suggestion, and was not acted upon. ‘The Board adjourned at three o'clock.

She said she | was coming home with the tea, when the dog ran at her and jumped up on her, almost knocking her ; down. He bit her on the lip and then on the nose. She has been going to school No. 25. On Monday lass she went to school as usual, and upon | her return sald she was glad that sie — had not been put back in her class for her being absent during the Pape three | weeks, During that night soe had fits and spasms, and appeared irightened and excessively nervous, On Tuesday morning 1 made her a cup of coffee, and she swallowed a little, but refused to cat any- | thing whatever. She has not slept since Sunday night, but complained of something in her throat, and said she could not swallow anything, and that ‘we would choke her if we gave her anythiog.”’ This is the sad narrative of the poor motner, whose cup of sorrow 18 overflowing, when she turns from the feaiful spectacle of her daughter Julta, as the latter sits in @ rocking chair, foatn- ing irom the mouth and exclaiming “Go away, you will smother me,’’ to her youngest chila, who lies dying in the cradle from congestion of the lungs, Numbers of sympathizing Iriends throng the humble habitution and tender their Kind oflices to alleviate the distress which has settied therein, During the paroxysms of agony which accompany the worst moods of the malady the assistance of two men ts required to keep the sufferer in her chair or on the bed, so violent are the throes in which she writhes, Such exhausting momeats of agony are necessarily followed by periods of exces- sive lassitude and debility, but the pain would ap- pear to be continuous. A consultation of medical men has beon held, and no hopes are entertained of her recovery. On the same day that the fearfal visitation befell Julia Connelly, a daughter of Patrick McGheogan (a child five years old) was bitten by the same ‘dog fiend.”’ A son of John Johnson, of Spencer strest, corner of Willoughby avenue; a son of John volan, residing in Spencer street, and two other chitaren ‘whose names have not been ascertained, were also bitten by this rabid animal. ‘Inasmuch as so long @ period has elapsed between the biting of these children and the present time, and they are in the enjoyment of excellent health, strong hopes are entertained that they may escape the horrors of hydrophobia, The dog was unquestionably killed @8 above stated, DEATH OF A HORSE FROM HYDROPHOBIA.
