A clerk in the English admiralty office lately had his pay suspended for twenty-eight days, for addressing to the first Lord of that august board some suggestions In.regard to iron ship-build? ing.

DEAR SIR: I'havo to acknowledge that I was wrong in reference- to tho bad odors that I supposed to origiuate from tho cemetery-. The (rouble is in my oren house. On yesterday, tho stench was so grout that, ut the suggestion of u pro porty-owuer iu my neighborhood, 1 ex? amined under the roof of the house, and there, bunging to tho rafters, were large numbers of buts, and immediately under? neath their ordure lay piled to tho depth of about ono foot-evidently tho nccu inulutiou of many yenrs. Should I have wounded Ibu feelings of any of tho geutlemeu {whoaddressed you ou the 28tb ult., in my cud publndied in tho Union and PHOENIX of tho 1st and 2d inst., rospecti ve ly j 1 beg to apologise. Anxiety as to tho welfare of my family may have caused rae to use language that might bo construed by them as harsh. Very respectfully, JOHN MCQUEEN.

Tho committee also recommend that the occupants of houses be required to examine under the roofs of their houses ut least once a j'ear, aud have thom tho? roughly cleansed. Ward No. 2 was reported as being in a cleanly condition. The following resolution was unani? mously adopted: . Whereas the Co m tn it too of the Bjard from Ward No. 8, having reported as a nuisance tho "Davis Alley-way," siuks and water pipes iu rear of the Columbia Hotel and J. K. Kinard's storo; and from the evidence adduced before this board, it appears that said nuisances ure caused by the filling up of the drain iu said alley-wny by the city authorities, thereby not only causing sickness, but injuring tho property upon tho alley-way; bo it, therefore, Resolved, That the Chief of Polico be instructed to forthwith opon tho drain in said alley-way, and have the nuisances complained of removed; and that the action of the Board in this matter be communicated to thu City Council ut once.

JACOB LEVIN, Chairman. THOS. P. WALKER, Clerk pro tem. The San Francisco Chronicle chronicles the death and funeral of u young spi? ritualist medium named Henry Chase, iu which there is a rather ludicrous illustration of tho strength of the ruling passion utter death. The young man's mother preached bis funeral sermon, in which she said that since his doath shu lind had several interviews with him. In life bo was a jolly aud trolicsomo youth, and while his corpse was being prepared for burial, bo entered the room and gave his mother to understand that "he did not think he would mako suuh uu ugly looking corpse." During the whole pro? cess of dressing bim after death be was present in the room, cutting up antics, jumping about, stauding on his bead, aud doing other funny things. So little use is there for one's body, that ono may per? form all these acrobatic feats 0V0U when deprived of it. -.?- ? A WEALTHY HERMIT.-St. Vincent, Florida, is an island of 7,001) acres, owned und occupied for tbe pust three years by Mr. Hatch, a gentleman of in? telligence and fortune, formerly Mayor of Cincinnati, who chooses to lead here tbe life of a hermit, solitary and alone, savo a few servants, and seeing a few visitors. Indeed, bo is incensed when bis privacy is intruded upon exoept on invitation. His island swarms with deer and cattle-his library is full of book??, and with these and hunting and fishing bo passes his time away-the monarch of all he surveys. A Duluth paper says that Dan. Hbnm way, a notorious rough, killed at Moor? head two weeks ago, was buried face downward, with a pack of cards iu bis hand. A San Francisco court has decided opium eating not intemperance. A TENNESSEE SNAKE STORY.-A negro boy, fonrteen or fifteen years old, bad an unpleasant encounter, last Monday after noon, with a snake of the species known as a "coachwhip." The boy says be went ont in the neighborhood of tbe Wot ley Fields, about a milo from town, gatheriug up some milch cows which fre? quently graze in that direction. When first discovered, the una ko was reposing ut full length across the road. It didn't seem disposed to movo out of tbe way, and tho boy picked np a little slick und threw at it, hitting it two or three inches below tho head. Immediately, and as quick ns lightning, the snake grabbed its tail in ita mouth and rolled toward him like ti boop, nod before he could wheel to run, it sn aightened itself and commenced lushing bim around tho legs. Ile broke at once for town at tho top of his speed, tho snake, which seemed to bo inspired l>3r tho spirit of au old slave-holder, fol? lowing and every twenty or thirty yards \ onhoopiug itself and "popping him," as tho buy termed it, hard and fast. The last time thu coachwbip hit bim, be thinks bo was just ut tho turn of the hill, above Mr. Fisher's residence, where ho met .a gentleman going out on horseback, who saw tho au ak o roll itself over the feuco into Cleagu's field aud disappear among tho grass and weeds. Tho poor negro nays be thought it was tho original su rpi nt, and when bo got in sight of town and struck tho home stretch, he>was making faster time than any locomotive ever did over the K ist Tennessee road. Ho showed tho welts on bis legs, and says, "Next time whito folks wants them cows from tho Worley Fields, they can just fotcb 'om ilerselves." Some years ugo there was a family of the couch whip species neur the held, but ! it was supposed, nutil this occurrence, that they had migrated or became ex? tinct. Thu boy says he thinks the snake I was about eleven feet long, body not much thicker than his thumb, with a white ring circling tho neck, and that every time it struck him, its tail cracked like a cart whip.-Athens Post. Postmaster Jones, of New York, tells a good cam ?ja i gu story for Horace Greo ley. Some time ago ono Nortou, cashier of tho post office, turned out as a de? faulter, aud thu Uuited States Govern? ment camu down on his securities, among whom was Horace Greeley, re? sponsible to the extent of about 830,000. Greeley was very restive under this obli? gation, and hu is so much in fear of debt that hu actually wanted to give his cluck for tho whole sum and get. it o ti bis mind. Finally a meeting of the en? dorsers was held, und Mr. Greeley put on bis spectacles, took up his bond and dolefully read over tho conditions. "They say I write an infernally bad baud," said Greeley, "but they can read it plain enough when it gets on one of these things." lu tho Rocky Mountain News, printed | at Denver, Colorado, we hud a tiroll ac? count of tito vaccination of 150 Pian Indians by Dr. H. K. Steele. The Pians have u great abhorrence of small-pox, and cheerfully submit to uny measures which may promise them safety from ita ravages. One thing, however, they did growl ut. They objected to washing their arms before the operation. They don't like small-pox, but neither do they relish any kind of ablution. Soap, if it is good quality, they eat with great relish-they consider the uso of it as a detergent, hi m ply wasteful. That they submitted finally to wash their arms was considered strong proof of their invinci? ble dread of something worse. A negro preacher at a Georgia camp meeting tobi his hearers that they could never enter Heaven with whiskey bottles in their pockets, and urged them to "bring 'i-m rigbt up to tho pulpit, and he would oller 'em a sacrifice to de Lord. ' The consequence was that the good shep? herd was in the evening so overcome by the spirit us to bu unable to preach. A Parisian named M. Dnpiat recently became blind in one eye, and in a very singular way. He wns entering a stiflly starched .shut, when the edge of the bosom cut into his eye and tho bnraorB run ont. A Michigan fumily had tobe chisel? ed out of their residence recently, be? cause two of the posts ou which the bouse stood bad given way, settling the doors and windows to an unmovable tightness. 'Gen. Howard and Gen. Hooker are disputing abont tho responsibility of losing tho battle of Chancellorsville. It j strikes us Gen. Lee had something to do with that. A Mrs. Cox died ia Savannah, a few days ago, and wns buried as a pauper. She claimed to be a daughter of Wm. Tecumseh Sherman, of "march to the sea" notoriety. Mr. Darnum is said to bo wearing1 crape for the recent death in St. Louis of a colored lady who weighed over I 000 pounds-twioe as muoh as the Ia-] meuted Daniel Lambert. "Never mind the obituary, judge,' said a Montana culprit when the court! became pathetic m pronouncing tho sen? tence; "let's fix the time for the fuue ral."
