A NOVEL Accommodating the reso-
lutions passed by the Board of Aldermen on
Tuesday night, was one appropriatng 500 to be
expended in procuring new jar for John Haab,
who was deprived of the original by an unlucky
shot from the enemy in Mexico. This is about
the strangest appropriation of the public funds
that we have lately heard Of We have footed
the bill for many Congressional, Legislative and
Aldermanic Jaws, and indirectly Custom House
officers being the medium) the people paid for
considerable jaw at the John Young dinner the
other day, but we never dreamed of being called
upon to splice up all the bad Jaws made by Mex
lean bullets, and we hope the appropriation will
not be passed. The jaws we have eat up the
public funds fast enough-let US have no new ones
manufactured at the public expense.
THE SINGING CHILDREN.-Bradbury 4 Nash's
Juvenile Concert crowded the Tabernacle. The
sight of one thousand children, between the ages
of six and twelve, was only equaled by the hear
ing of their admirable performances. The chorus
co were sung with spirit and correctness which
could only have been attained by the most thor
ough and careful training. Some Of the girls ex'
hibited fine vocal gifts in the solo parts, but the
choruses were more animating and inspiring: 1t
kind which Messrs. Bradbury and Nash have yet
given
NEW LINE OF STAGEs-Messrs. Berthe Il
Ryerson have commenced running their stages
from corner of Thirteenthst. and Tenth-avenue,
through Spring-st, Broadway and Grand.st, to
the East River Messrs. B. K r. were granted
licenses to run their stages on this route by ex-
Mayor Woodruff short time before the expira-
tion ofhis term of office. When Mayor Kingsland
came into power he revoked the licenses granted
by Mayor Woodruff, and Messrs. B. & r. claim
that he did so without authority, and in direct
violation of their rights. They now run their
stages without licenses and will thus test the
question of the right of the Mayor to revoke Ii
censes granted in good faith, and for a valuable
consideration received by the City.
A New FAoE.-By resolution of the Com
mon Council, the clock on the City Hall is to be
furnished with new glass plates over the dials-
The glass is 10 be in one piece, and not patched
together like the present. 1t is time some such
improvement was made, for, since the clock has
been Illuminated, it has been almost impossible
to decipher the time, the lines on the face having
the appearance of so many hands to the clock.
lhPRoN EMENI IN REAL ESTATE.-Threeo or four
Insurance Companies are about purchasing the
block Of buildings, four in number, extending
, from the corner of William and Wall SITS to the
Phenix Bank. They will then erect splendid new
edifces in their place. The property on the cor
ner of Wall-st. has been purchased for $4,000.
This improvement will add very much to the ap-
pesranee Of the lower end of William.st.
The lot at the corner Of Fifth. avenue and TWEEN.
tiethst- 90 by 40 feet was recently sold for
building purposes, at $4,000, cash down. San
Francisco can hardly surpass this.
