know that this useful branch of our Public
School education, is prospecting, under the in
defatgabe gentlemen who preside over the
Public HIGH School. Recent additions have
been made to the Cabinet, through the pur-
chase of upwards of 500 ancient coins of vari-
GUS kinds and 60 Greek and Roman silver
coins. by Professor n. G.. Brooks. They have
also received about 40 silver and copper coins,
from Jesse ID. Reid; from J. Heckrote and Sa-
muel Jones, some fine potrifaCtlons, and silver
and copper CONS; from master j. B. Trull,
about 80 copper coins; and from A. j. Antrim,
some petIified Ammonites. We would recon-
mend this Cabinet to the favorable cOnsidera-
ton of all these who may have it IN their pow

a Neglected Ordinance. The City Council
at its last annual session, passed an ordinance,
which requires that all awnings shall extend
the whole width of the foot pavement, or be
provided with spouts, and imposes a penalty
for neglect after notice. This ordinance has
been entirely disregarded, as we see awnings
which extend only about half the distance re-
quired, the rain and snow from which now
forms dangerous cakes of ice about the centre
of the footway Will some of the public Off
GERS look into this matter? If they will take a
walk in Baltimore street as far as the Bridge
they will find some awnings well calculated to
produce a broken limb after night.

who saw it. After the visitors had taken their
places in the cars, the delegations from the city
companies comprising the escort, arranged
themselves in line, and as the cars moved off,
gave three loud and long cheers, which were
returned by the departing strangers. The
musicians then played "Yankee-doodle," and
the escort took up the line of march home
ward.
