A post-mortem examination was made yesterday by Dr. Shepard, jail physician, on the body of Rich- ard Van Thone, of 25 Union street, who died on Sunday morning under circumstances which led to the arrest of his wife and William Verriilman. An analysis will probably be made, The stomach and intestines were not examined, they being carefully removed and placed in sealed glass jars, No visi- ble trace of Paris green was ire eet but a packet of that poison was found in the lager beer saloon, and the glass out of which the deceased i alleged to have swallowed the poison was also produced and & large acttlement of Parls grogm Was found in it er eine and he tumbler were handed custody of roner. itis said that the deceased thought of com- mit Suicide, for a few days ago he went into a barber’ i ahop, and, after he had been shaved, he ya the barber and remarked, “This is the last me you will ever shave me.” He also went to a drug store that was near by and asked for a quan- tity of Paria green, The druggist, although he knew Van Tefused at firat to let him have it, but the deceased said he wanted it for the purpose of killing cockroaches, Upon this declaration the ison was handed to him, uly labelled, but after obtained the package he bid adieu to the drug- gist and acted so rly that the latter sos- pected at once that something was wrong, and im- mediately detained the deceased and got the Paris green away from him, Coroner Jones will probab): 2 quest over the body ip mrgueyy commence an in ANNIVERSARY OF PAOKARD'S BUSINESS COLLEGE, The fourteenth anniversary exercises of this insti- tution took place at Cooper Institute last evening. Among the prominent features of the occasion were addresses by Horace Greeley, Henry W. Bellows and Elihu Burritt, and songs by the Union Glee Club. ‘The audience was a full one, composed in great part of the parents of the a? educated at the insti- tution, and seemed to be much entertained Ls the rather tasteful intellectual feast dis- played before them. When Mr. Greeley ay peared he was greeted, as seems to be his fortune in all crowds, with prolonged oe In his address, which was not very lengthy, he warmly recommended a business education as being of the most practical importance to all de- partments of life—even to farmers, too many of whom are ignorant of the simplest means of keep- ing their accounts, He strongly favored agricul- tural colleges and the agricultural college system, and compared it in its specialty with the business college system of Mr. Packard. He @id not venture upon any subject of political importance further than vo warn young men against the evils of im- portunate offce-seeking. He thought that young men ought to aspire to places under the government in an honorable way, but he strongly deprecated the importuning with which too many of them just starting out in life frequently bore the holders of government patronage. He had himself been assailed all his life by men seeking something to do, which they thought it was in his power to give them, but he generally found out that the reason Why such people couldn't get anything to do was that they were not qualified to do it. At the close of the Philosopher's remarks he hastened home again. Dr, Bellows made an interesting ad- dress, urging youn; en to read and reflect on what they re: nd Elihu Burritt, the learned black- smith, of an ancient régime, still hale and hearty, concluded the exercises with some additional advice of a highly sensible nature, A DRY GOODS JOBBER WANTED, It is rumored that several of the most prominent dry goods firms in this city have lately been victim- ized to the amount of $250,000 by aa well known dry goods jobber. The modus operandi of the transaction was that the jobber, after working up his credit with several of the largest firms in the city, finally went for a large haul, and, after get- ting about 000 worth of goods, disposed of them at a_ sacrific and realised about $120,000, with which he has levanted, Among the firms who it is alleged have becn tne victims of this sharp practice are A. T. Stewart & Co., H. B. Claflin & Co., Arnold, Constable & Co., Richard Tselin & Co., E. 8, Jaitray & Co, Linneman, Wehry & Co., Luckmayer & Co., Lee, Tweedy & Co., U. F, Daubmann & Co., Vanderrost & Co., Adrian¢e, Robbins & Co., and others. The goods, it appears, were sold at auction. The de- eons have taken the job, and the jobber is wanted, CITY GOVERNMENT. {OF FICIAL.) Board of Aldermen. STATED SKSSION. Monpay, June 3, 1872—3 o'Clock P. M. The Board met pursuant to adjournment.
