Supplement to Wxt lailp lernld. The Savannah Daily Herald Dkath op an Eccentric, who proves to UK THE Father op the Weater op J. Wilkes Booth.— By the latest English mails we learn that Bartholomew Corbett, aged BfY, lather of Sergeant Corbett, who shot Wilkes Booth had been conveyed to the Marylebone (Lon tlon) W orkhouse Infirmary so very ill and Jiis head so dreadfully swollen from erysipe las, that it was thought that he could not possibly survive many hours. For many years past, says a London paper, the old man has lived in a small back room in Cbapel street, Edgware road, and for the last seven years no one but hitflself had entered the place. He was understood to be a taxider mist, and was considered to be very clever at his business Nothing having been seen pr heard of him for some days the police were called in and the door broken open, when the room was found to be full of rub bish, and Corbett was seen crouched in a cor ner, in a state of delirium. He was removed at once to the workhouse. The room, from the floor to the ceiling, was found to be crammed with cases of stuffed birds, books and papers. The latter were carefully cov ered and labeled, and many of them appear to be of value. An avenue, three feet high by two feet wide, and formed of stuffed birds, &c ; , led to a recess, not much larger than the interior of an ordinary sized port manteau, and this eccentric individual must have slept in the recess for many years. A Rich Jokr.— lt is perhaps not generally understood that postmasters when receiving letters not prepaid are required by law to send to the parties to whom the letters are addressed a printed note with tbe blanks properly filled out, informing them that they can rbtain tbe letters by paying tbe postage due. It so happened not long since that Postmaster Trott of this city had occasion to send a Bote of this description to a colored soldier in one of tbe intererior districts. On the face of the envelope was stamped in bold letters the word “Free.” which meant of course there was nothing to collect for nostage. Judge, of tbe hearty laugh the Postmaster eojoyed on receiving the follow ing reply to his note : “Mr. Stanly G. Trott—lf I was you I would not trouble yourself about telling me. lam free. I sent you six cents. Please for ward the letters. < Your’s, Chlrles Johnson. Charleston Courier. ' The Choura in New York Harbor.— There were no reports of additional cholera cases among the steamship Atalanta’s passen gers. The cabin passengers have sent auotber communication protesting against their being still prevented coming to the city, and Dr. Murphy, in an interview with Mayor Gnntber, insisted that their further detention at Quarantine is unnecessary. Dr. Sayre, Resident Physician of the city, has, at tbe request of the Board of Health, issued a statement of facts in regard to the nature of cholera and the proper means to be used to prevent its spread.
