| The boys and girls thus honored returned to
their seats with proud steps and happy faces,
while we could see many youthful counte
nance the certain shade of disappointment. But
| if the system Of premiums is to be continued
which we think of doubtful policy-they who re-
ceived none now must strive for the prizes which
may be awarded in the future
|
several cheerful songs were sung, and the COM
pany were dismissed with the benedcton.
This morning, at ten O'Clock, the premiums
will be distributed ut the Smithsonian Institution,
commencing at ten o'cloch--there having been a
postponement Friday in consequence of the rain.
| THE CASE OF JAMES W. ScHAUMBERG.-The
jury in this case was still ''hung,'' as by some
vile torturng of language an inability to agree is
styled, and when the court adjourned yesterday
informed his honor they could not agree. The
Court left them to solitude and reflection till to-
day.
! George, alias Barney Martin was convicted of
an assault upon John Miller, and, being gentle
man who sported most villainous- looking knife,
with blade at least eight inches long, was
handed over to the marshal to be confined in the
| Jail for six months.
| Patrick Ready, for resisting an officer, was
ordered to be also accommodated in the same
pleasant summer resort for five weeks
THE WEST FAMILY.--Some weeks ago we re-
corded the death, first, of Mrs: West from
intemperance and exposure, and, short time
afterwards, that of her husband, from similar
cause; and mentioned that their child little
girl, was taken in charge and cared for by the
ladies of the Protestant Orphan Asylum
Many occurrences to which the public may
attach but little Importance at the time of their
publication, are crowded from the mind by sue
ceeding events; but we are reminded of the suf-
fering, pauperism, and mournful end of West and
his wife, by the fact that recently letters have
been received from England, written by attorneys,
asking for legal evidence of his death, and con-
frming the account given by himself of the pro-
fessional and honorable position which he once
occupied in the country of his birth.
