The second day of the annual trotting carnival at Middietown, Orange county, N. Y., was as suc- cessful in fine sport as was its predecessor, The track was in capital condition, the weather de- lightful and the attendance satisfactory to the treasurer of the association, Two events wére on the card, the first being for horses that had never beaten 2:40, the purse to be contended for being $1,000, divided into four parts, the first horse getting $500, the second $250, the ‘Aird $150 and the fourth $100.

Before the start George Miller took the place of Sir Knight as favorite against the field with Daniels out, John Lovett, of New York, having been sent for to drive Miller. His horse was distanced in the first heat, with four others, There should have been two more dis- tanced, as only four were inside when the flag fell, one of whom, J. Merritt Berkshire, winning fourth money by the mistake of letting him in when dis- tanced. Susie Clay was the other horse that was outside the flag, but allowed to start. She, how- ever, was distanced beiore the race was over. The second trot was for horses that had never trotted better than 2:26.

The sevond sitting of the special committee of the King’s County Board of Supervisors appointed to investigate the charges preferred against Sheriff Aras G. Williams was held yesterday afternoon. ‘There were present, besides the committee, Messrs. Coe, Cottrell, and Ryder, but few officials, Sheriff Wuliams, and ex-Judge Morris, his counsel, were present, and earnestly watched the proceedings or the session, which was held in the room of the Supervisors, in the county Court House, THE TESTIMONY, Jacob Meixmer was the first witness called, and being sworn, testified :—He is a baker, and does biisiness at No. 39 Washington avenue; he su it the jail with bread. Supervisor Coe—(To Sheri! iliams)—Give me the amount your book culls tor furnishing. heriff—For Januar; pounds; February, 9,865; March, 11,166; total tor Quarter, 29,308. April, 10,145; ay, 430; June, 8,624; total for quarter, 27,04 ss—The loaves are mostly ali ol ‘one size; not exactly; the louves will weigh three and @ half er four, pounds each. (A large, stale, dark, must; More edd was here exhibite ‘specimen brick.”) These loaves never run less than three pounds; old bread will not weigh as much as tresh. Supervisor Coe—Ont ot 10,000 pounds of bread delivered at the jail, how mueh will weigh the same lout? Witness-That Ican’t tell you, sir; Sherif Williams mage the contract with me for this bread; he did not tell me exactly what they should weigh; ‘sometimes Mr. Conraddy and sometimes Stinson, weighs the bread at the jail; 1 refuse to tell what 1 ket a pound fur the resi Examined by the counsel for Sheriff—The bread is good and sweat; about three-quarters of a pound of bread 8 allowed for each man at the jail, I believe. The bills, as shown by the Sheriff, were then handed in and entered as “correct” by the Clerk. NICE CALCULATIONS. H, A: Lefetre was then sworn, and was asked to sup- pose that the loaf on the table, allowing it to weigh three pounds, was cut into five parts, excepting every other day, when it was cut into six, how many loaves would it take to teed 27,117 prisoners? The counsel objected, on the ground that it was im- material, and the Chairman remarked that it was material. Tt would be necessary, said the counsel, first to prove that all the prisoners‘are fed on three pound loaves of bread; or, in other words, to swear to a cal- culation, betore the basis of calculation had been proved competent as evidence. Such testimony would be anomalous Mr. Conraddy said the ration was from a pound and a quarter to @ pound and a half, which would not establish @ basis of calculation. The Chairman and the committee regarded the ques- tion as competent, and the witness said :—“fo divide the Joat 39,308 pounds would furnish 16,953 days’ board. allow- ing thatit is cut into six pieces on five days and pieces for, the balance; the, bill calls tor 27 ourd; the ditference would be 10,964 pounds uoted on the same basis, would be 15,034 da; 7 the next making @ ifference of 7,224 pounds in the bill: the difference in the amount of days the bread would supply over the number of days charged in the Sheriff's bill Is 477 ‘A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. _Counsel—Your calculation is based upon the supposi- tion that each prisoner takes three meals a day, is it not? Witness—Yes: 29,303 days’ board, at one pound of bread each per day, would take 29,308 pounds of bread ; in case some prisoners were furnished bread by outside parties, | | aud other prisoners took, bread only at certain meals, then it would not be possible tor me to make a calcula: tion of the amount of bread required to feed the prison- ers. Counsel—Of course Jou cannot answer. nor can any man, such @ hypothetical question ; but desire at to be put down by the clerk. * Witness—fhe calculations made are based entirely upon the size of the loaf presented and the fact that the county pays for three mealsaday. Charles M. Santord testified that he is a grocor; that he had seen and weighed the loaf of bread shown him; it weighed three pounds one and a hait ounces. Cross-examined—Bread loses in weight as it grows stale; cannot tell in what proportion, MEAT BILLS. The meat bill for January was presented by Sheriff Williams, showing the number of pounds of meat pur- chi to haye been for, that month 2,529; February, March, 2,522; April, 2,434: May, 2,098; June, 2,253. Sherif was unable to’ say the éxact, amount of the meat ration furnished each prison The Chairman said it was three-quarters of a pound. Charles W. Morton testified that he found there were 307 prisoners In jail, as per bill, on February 7, 1873, Counsel contended the bill did not show the number disc harged on that pooraing. D. J. York, Deputy Clerk of the County Court and Court of Sessions, testified that the keeper of the jail was required to make returns to the Court of Sessions, in accordance with the statute. Jounsel objected, and the Chairman said he desired to show that returns were not made in accordance with W “Witness—There were 243 prisoners returned for on the first Monday in February of Jast year. Chairmau—There were 300 charged for. Counsel arose and made an earnest protest against the introduction of such testimony against ex-Sheriff Walters, as it) waa unjust. ‘There was no discrepancy § in the bill atall., It required simply an explanation, On Monday mornings many prisoners are dis- charged who are not placed on the returns for the day. The testimony was altogether irrelevant and does not tend to either prove or disprove any charge against Sherif Williams. The Chairman said he proposed to show that nota single prisoner discharged on the Monday had been counted in the 243 prisoners returned, WHAT HAD BEEN DONE BEFORE was liable to be done again. More days were charged for board than was furnished to prisoners. Had the returns required by law been made by the Sheri to the Court, the Chairman said, he would have been able to show readily If any discrepancies existed between these bills and the number of prisoners returned. Crime has not increased, neither hag the population; and the comparative evidence is important. It is a dificult matter to rove the charges if you shut off such testimony. The commitments are not vouchers, and these vouchers have been burned, it seemed to him, tor the past twenty years, lor the purpose of conceal- ing the facts. ‘rhe counsel contended the records were in the books, and irreievent testimony should not be ad- mitted. The vouchers for the second three months’ bill of Mr. Wiliams are to be had, and every ceut will be found correct there, Considerable sparring, in @ wordy way, ensnea between the counsel and Supervisor Coe, when the latter said that it was not so many years ago since @ sheriff of this county had employea firemen ior five days and five nights to make out the charges were about to be made against the Sheri. The Chairman said that he expected to show that there were men charged for on the Sherit’s bill who were ‘bearded out,” and the counsel charged him to do so, The committee, at five o'clock, three o’ciock P. on Thesday 1 THE DOOK DEPARTMENT, The Dock Commissioners held their usual weekly meeting yesterday afternoon, There were present Commissioners Budd and Gardiner, It was re- solved to request the Commissioners of Public Works to repair pavements between piers 61 and OL, pler 36 Bast River, and at entrance of pier 46 djourned until te esent intention of erecting a rd thereon, ved that dredging Se done at pler 33 as the locality has been reported in @ trimentai to health and dangerous to Jollowing weekly report was received Engineer-in-Chief of the Board :— dumping le, Mary second street improvements, for the two wi honor to forward the following report f fending August 24 work of tue sixth ‘ pleted and made foundation for the bulkhead wail north 0 for the bulkhead wail, noi of pier I, will be finished by Tuesday evening next and made ready for the blocks. ‘The work on this secoanine the past week has consisted in levelling the guide planks and riprap, The blocks will probably all be in position ready fur the weights by Saturday, the 9th inst.

Brandy, of New York, Versus Sealper, of Philadelphia. The Combat for $1,000—Scalper the Victor in 39 Minutes—Brandy in a Dying Condition. If the humble shopkeepers of West Forty-second street, at the hour of high noon yesterday, had taken the trouble to look out upon the sidewalks, they would have been much perplexed to arrive at the cause of the presence of scores of hard, rough- hewn boulders of heads, scores of the free and don’t-care-for-anything stripe of individuals, wending their way to the North River. Surely, it was an unusual event that called together such a company, but to those in the secret it was some- thing that at all times will draw the roughest ele- ments of New York’s worst society—fighters, tnieves‘of the most desperate kind, and the miser- able men who always hang to their garments and accompany them upon every excursion that suits their depraved taste. IT WAS A DOO FIGHT, and that, too, for the heavy weight champion- ship of the United States, that brought them together on this occasion. After reach- ing the river the crowds in due time were placed on the other or Jersey side, when, alter a ramble of six or seven minutes, these citi- zens of nether New York stopped ata pleasant hostiery, and there found gathered over four hundred of that stripe that make an appropriate assemblage to witness such @ combat. While these individuals, in twos, threes and dozena, walked mantfully up to the bar of the establishment selected for the battle ground and there again and again GUZZLED THE POISON dealt out to all that had the price, the inqutring mind could, with caution, ascertain all about how this important match came about and what the particulars were concerning tt. New York and Philadelphia furnished the contestants ior the fight, and the articles of agreement were drawn up several weeks ago, So soon as the match was a settled thing, and the necessary signatures to customary documents obtained, the sporting circles of Gotham and those of the City of Brotherly Love were much agitated, and the interest increased up to the moment of the fight, causing, at times, a rough- and-tumble ‘“turn-up,” and again the betting of hundreds and hundreds of dollars. The reputa- tion of tue New York dog, none other than Brauay, ‘Was, until yesterday aiternoon, ALMOST WORLD WIDE, bat now his name, once the synonym for victory, is sadly marred and his reputation Justreless. Everybody interested in matters appertaining to dogs knew of Brandy. He had come from excel- lent stock and was the hero of seventeen battles, and thus Mr. “Snooks,” his owner, was de- lighted to back him for any number of dollars against all*comers, Philadelphia being equally fortunate in possessing the dog Scalper, who sprung trom well known and trusty parent- age, his owner, Mr. Carroll, seemed to have had not the slightest objection to meet the old bruiser in the pit, and therefore the match was made for $500 aside, each dog on the fighting day to pull down the scales at thirty-one pounds, ANXIOUS FOR 4 FIGHT, Shortly after one o’clock the barroom, piazza and adjoining grounds were well represented with those anxious to witness the battle. Everything seemed to indicate the place as one just suited for the sport, as the character of the surroundings was in concert with the event and the men manipulating it, Soon a pleasant-faced per- son, with an assistant, began to deal out bits of red pasteboard, which entitled the holder to witness the combat, They suid like hot cakes, and the crush to get them provoked many offensive remarks and came near resulung in half a dozen fights. With ticket in hand en- trance was effected to a side room, which seemed like a deserted hall, where in times gone by pretty maidens and their sweethearts “tripped the light fantastic toe.” At the farthest end THE PIT WAS ERECTED of old boards, set on end, twenty feet long, twelve Jeet wide and about twenty inches high. Around this were seats, and at the rear was one row, like those ina circus, giving all @ fair opportunity to witness the forthcoming battle. There were no coverings to the windows, and nobody seemed to care how much noise was made, as the police were not around, A quiet-spoken, middle-aged man accepted the unpleasant position o1 referee, Then the dogs were washed, and the tubs being removed, from @ hundred throats yelled, “Hun- dred to seventy on Brandy!” “Dl bet yer!” “Take off yer hats!” “Get off my aes or rn kick yer head off!” and such like cries, There were three or four thousand dollars bet in a few minutes, the odds bemg on Brandy. but the strangers from Philadel- phia had plenty of loose cash, and with smiling jaces accepted anything that came their way. Just at this moment seventy-five or eighty ruflans who hadn’t any money, or wouldn’t pay if they had, broke their way through the windows and the door, joining the fessive throng inside. And with terrific cursing, much obscenity, any amount of chafing and scoiing, the “GET READY” of the referee was heard and the fight commenced at twenty-five minutes past two o'clock. Scaiper jumped like a greyhound into Brandy’s corner and the dogs came together like the shap of a whip. Scalper caught the great fighter by the but of the ear and in just thirty seconds lifted and smashed him on ‘the floor amid a handred “Just see that! First fall tor Sealper! Oh, on!” Brandy was up in a second, and with month to mouth and jaws closing am holding like keen vices, the ambitious dogs went on in their work, fighting like exquisitely arranged machines. Again Scaiper threw Braudy with a crash, and thus for five minutes he fought so fast that Brandy’s backers were surprised and then alarmed. Jt was the first time in the at dow’s career he hadn’t from the send-oif had the | best of an adversary. “Hold him, my littie man; hold him, and I'll love you!’ shouted Cass to Scalper. And then the tramers stamped, in order to make brisker fighting, encouraged, and advised and as- | sisted them by word ana gesture, but retrained from touching them with the tips of their be ete In fifteen minutes Brandy began todo a punishing, but Scalper could throw. the oid iellow whenever he wanted and even when he had his own bold. in eighteen minutes | Seaiper began to do his work weil, fighting very arttully and fast, His education and skill were wonderful. He 18 @ head fighter, and Brandy didn’t like his ear holds, In twenty-one minutes Scaiper had Brandy by the leg and shook the bre from his body almost, and then the barbarians shouted, “Good Go ain't that fightin’? and thus the combat went on, all in javor of Scalper, Crashing, tearing like a mulsaw went the teeth of the younger dog into the head of Brandy, and the face of “snooks,’' the trainer, be- gap to grow pale with anxiety. Though weak, he tried to fight off his enemy with the | MOST INDOMITABLE PLUCK, | but Scalper was too much, and for the first time in his }) New York's representative had evidently met his match, Philadelphia could throw and trip him when he liked, and fought him in the same man- ner as he had won all bisbattles. When 28 minutes had singed Scaiper got his opponent again by the leg, and the limb was sore, It was at tus moment that the PRIDE OF NEW YORK, who had never beiore complained, began to cry for quarter and was liejpi and at the mercy of his adversary, perceiving which Scalper only shook him the more lively, and, to make matters worse, he relin- quished the leghoid and went for the exposed throat of Brandy, when his sharp teeth began to gnaw ont the life of the old veteran. Now and then | Brandy, a8 if asking that the punisument might cease, UTTERED WEAK AND PLAINTIVE CRIES, | but it was of no use, Scaiper was in dead earnest. | ‘Hundred to ten on Philadelphia” now resounded all over the pit, but the most hopeiul hadn't the nerve to invest another cent on New Yo!

It was rumored yesterday that a Custom House officer would make an application to Judge Blatch- ford for & warrant to seize the books and papers of an importer in Church street. Mr. Buss says that he knows nothing at all of any such case. Nothing could be learned about it in the offices of the clerks of the District or Circuit Court. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Habeas Corpus Case—Enlistment. Before Judge Blatchford. The case of a boy named Jacob Henry, alias Jacob Zippel, of No. 18 Siegel street, Brooklyn, who had enlisted in the United States Army, was before Judge Blatchiord yesterday, on habeas corpus. The defendant followed the trade of a basket maker. He enlisted on the 23d of July last, representing himself as seventeen years of age. It appeared that the boy was fond of music, and Meeting @ man who said he could get him taught in a conservatory of music, the boy went with him and enlisted, The man who came with the boy stated on oath that he was his father; and the boy also stated under oath that the man was his fatner, and that he had his consent to enlist. It turned out, however, upon investigation, that this man was not the boy’s father at all. Judge blatch- ford ordered @ reference to Commissioner Osborne, to take testimony as to the state of facts, ‘This testimony was taken, and upon it the boy was discharged on condition of paying back to the government the amount of the expense it had been at for his outfit. Mr, Purdy, United Staves Assistant District Attorney, intimated that as soon as the boy was discharged he would have him arrested for perjury. Seizure of Books and Papers—The Case of 8S. Haas & Co. It will be remembered that some time since the books and papers of 8. Haas & Co., 196 Charch street, were seized by government officers on the ground tliat the firm in question had been import- ing goods at an undervaluation. Yesterday Mr. Stanley, counsel for S, Haas & Co., made an application to Judge Blutchford for an order directing the government to return the books and papers of the firm which had been seized, as abeve stated. He based his sponeeo on the fact tuat he had now waited for forty days for the return of those books and papers, although he had been assured by Mr. Jayne, the spectal agent of the Treasury, that they would have been long since returned. The defendants’ business was interruptea considerably by the want of those books, preventing them, as it did, from settling ac- counts with customers. Counsel also demanded the return of @ particular invoice which had been seized. Mr. Bliss, United States District Attorney, re- plicd that he had no desire whatever to detain the books from the delendants ome moment longer than was necessary. In fact, some of the books had been already returned, The government offi- cials were taking eXtracts from the books, and as s00n as these extracts were completed the books would be returned—how soon he could not exactly say. Mr Stanley said the defendants wanted the books. The Judge did not know that they were entitled toget them now. The government must be al- lowed a reasonable time to make such extracts irom the books as they desired. Finally, alter some iurther discussion, it was agreed between counsel that the matter should be again mentioned to the Court to-day. COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER, Getting Ready for the Fali and Winter Campaign—The Grand Jury and Judge Davis’ Charge. The Court of Oyer and Terminer met at eleven A, M. yesterday, Juage Davis presiding. There was quite a large crowd in attendance in the expecta- tion that the trial of causes would be entered upon at once. All the business done, however, was swearing in the Grand Jury and the Judge’s charge to them, THE GRAND JURY. The following gentiemen were sworn in as grand Jurors :—Cortiand De P. Fieid (foreman), Theodore T. Wilmeday, Daniel W. Chapman, William L. Cole, Ignatz Stein, Isaac Heuricks, Artemus Knapp, Ru- tus M. Stivers, William P, Ross, Charles F. Hunter, Treodore E. Isaacks, Philip Lyons, Lewis Lewin- good, Stephen Cutter, John Fitzpatrick, Joseph Frank, Stephen S, Chamberlain, Alexander Turn- bull, John G. Gutzberger, Henry Clotteaberg, Henry David and Charles P, Cummings. CHARGE TO THE JURY. Judge Davis charged the Grand Jury as fol- lows:— MR. FOREMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND Juky—The Assistant District Attorney informs me that you wili not be detained a very great while in the discharge of your present duties. The chief object in calling ea together at the present time is that that business may be ready tor the com- mencement of the courts in October, just now a large number of persons in jail, and it is extremely desirable that business should be in such @ condition that the courts may not be de- tained from want 0! indictments, but proceed with rapidity, having that part of the business, as far as your attention is concerned, previously per- formed. He proceeded to instruct the jury as to the number that constitutes a quorum There are and how they were as far as practicabie to receive only le; evidence and on this point to consult the District Attorney, or, if they saw proper, to take the advice of the Court, and not put the county to the expense of triais which must fail o! necessity. Atter this ex- planation he went on to say that there is no ease of individuat prosecution to which I have to call het attention; but 1 am required by the statute 0 direct you to inquiries as to several classes of Offences. These are :—The disclosing of the finding of an indictment against a person for telony who 18 not in custody; extortion by public officers, in exacting fees beyond those allowed by the statute; usury, or the taking of 4 greater interest than is allowed by law for the loan of money, which, when the offence is consummated, is punishable by a fine and imprisonment; the setting on foot of lotteries, ps the disposing of property by lot or chance. ese GIFT LOTTERIES, 80 numerous in the community, are undoubtedly, in my Opinion, within the law. They foster a spirit of gambling and the acquiring of property by chance. ‘That is the mischief which it is intended by the statute to prevent. 1 am bound to call your attention to breaches of the Excise law and the Jaw for the purity of the elective franchise. Really one of the most important prerogatives of tne Grand Jury is to inquire into these offences, as no one can be panisied jor @ violation of these laws without the interposition of the Grand Jury, and we know that the purity of the ballot box ites at the foundation of our institutions. It is not likely that you will have to inquire into offences of this kind at present, but itis very probable that there are humerous violations Of the statutes at every annual election I have also to direct your atten- tion tO @ special statute affecting the city—viz., that passed to prevent , FRAUDS ON STEAMBOATS; the object of which ts to protect emigrants, whom the Legisiature has made peculiarly the wards of tne Grand Jury of this city, on their arrival here by steamboat and atter they land. You will also in- guire into offences against tue late law to suppress OBSCENE LITERATURE, the object being to prevent the poisoning of the virtue Oj the land in its fountain in the minds of youth, Itis unfortunately true that the publisning and circulation of vile and obscene literature pre- vails to an extent which will astonish you when your attention is calied to it. The parties who is- sue these publications have made use of every means to circulate them. They used tne United States mails until Congress made it a felony to do #0, but they made use of every other artifice to reach the minds of the youtn. Their eflect is of the most disastrous Character, and the Legislature has made it a most serious critninal offence to circulate matter of that kind, If complaints of that character are made to you, you ought, in justice to yourselves an: for the sake of your families and the community, to see to it that, as far as in your power, steps be taken to eeilecct these offenct ‘There ts no other special subject to which the Court is to call your atten- tion, You will probabiy not be detained more than @ week or a fortnight. It 1s an object to close up quickly, so that the indictments may be ready for rel jhe October term. Gentlemen, you may now TUE JURY AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. At the close of the charge the foreman stepped up to the Judge's bench and made @ whispered in- quiry. Judge Davis resumed :— “Gentiemen— Your foreman asked me to instruct ou, a8 Grand Juries are sometimes in doubt about Ie whether you Save aright to investigate cases not brought before you by the District Attorney. In respect of that you are, so to speak, the toun- tain of justice, and you have the most ample pow- ers, and you may set on foot any inquiry that you see fit; and whether the District Attorney opposes or favors it, it makes no difference with you.

TOMBS POLICE COURT. Two Suits for One. Before Judge Hogan. On the 234 of August August Christian Kurth and another man went to the store of Alexander Nicholl, No. 111 Nassau street, Kurth asked for a suit of clothes which he had ordered and paid for it, In going out the person who was with Kurth took up two parcels, one containing Mr. Kurth’s clothes and another containing a suit of clothes waiting to be called tor. Kurth had been in the habit of dealing with Nicholl for the last six months and came there yesterday to order a pair of pantaloons, He was charged with the theft of a suit of clothes and taken before Justice Hogan. The priscner dented any Kno wietae of the goods and said the man who Was with him had also stolen his coat. He was held in $600 bail to answer. Champagne Chariey.

Johnson. Judging from the success of tne sale on the 6th in: at Yonkers Heights, the prices which will be ob- tained at this sale will-no doubt prove quite satisfactory. Another very large sale of choice property will be held on the 9th of September at Bay Side, L, I., comprising 448 lots, belonging to Messrs. Straiton & Storms, overlooking Little Neck Bay. ‘This land adjoins the celebrated possessions ot ex-Mayor Mickie and the Lawrences, Neariy forty acres of the best land on Long Island hus been laid out in fine style by having streets made, aveunes regulated and @ park containing eight acres put into shape by a landscape gardener, To-morrow Messrs. Mellick & Brother will sell forty lots, known as the James Hotel property, at Far Rockaway. After the ciose of the coming week we shall have brisk trade, as the country pleasure seekers by that time will have returned to their homes, SUICIDE IN WESTCHESTER A Bank Cashier at Tarrytown Almost Decapitates Himself, The quiet community of Tarrytown, on the Hud- gon, was inexpressibly shocked yesterday morn- ing by the tragic announcement that J. H. Rosenquest, cashier of the First National Bank in that village, had taken his own life. Deceased, it appears, arose as usual yesterday morning, and, aiter exchanging a few ordinary remarks with his wife, went into’ his dressing room, having first intimated that he was going to shave himself. He had not been in the apartment indicated many moments before Mrs. Rosenquest heard a heavy thud on the door, and on opening the door was almost paralyzed with horror on seeing her hus- band writuing in the agonies of deuth, having cut his throat almost from ear to ear with @ razor, Deceased, who had filled the aition of cashier in the institution named for some years past, was @ jodest, unassuming m and temperate man, whose urbanity had gained Jor him the universal esteem of the neighhorhood, No cause can as yet be assigned for the /atal act, as deceased always appeared to be most nappy in his domestic relations, and up to last evening nothing like irregularity in his accounts had been discovered, Latterly, however, it has been well known that deceased did not gnigr good health, having only returned from Europe a few weeks ago, whither he went torecruit his strength. He had been bathing in the river, with some com- panions, on Wednesday evening, and was tnen ob- rved to be unusually cheer! Deceased was about forty years old. Coroner Bassett, having been notitied of the occurrence, held an inquest on the remains yesterday, which resulted in @ verdict setting forth that deceased committed suicide wea, laboring under @ temporary aberration of intellect, STAGNANT POOLS AND DANGEROUS BOGS AT OTH STREET, New Yorg, August 27, 1873, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: My first communication about those stagnant pools in 110th street naving, to judge from the con- dition of the street and its vicinity, received no at- tention from the health officers, I would now warn the public against travelling through said street, as there are places Where the unsuspecting travel- ler’s foot wil sink toa depth of from six to eight feet. Also,I would once more remark that no child in the whole block has been left unaffected by the chills and fever on account o/ those poois, 110TH STREET, + MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
