The STEAMSHIP MINNESOTA was successful in
getting afoat yesterday morning, by the help OF
the steamer Fulton and a mud-machine. 1t is sup
posed that she was upon the wreck of the vessel
blown up some years ago. In the afternoon the
steamers Baltimore.and Powhatan hitched along
side and carried her down the Anacostia, the pilot
standing in the bow of the ship giving directions.
Considerable difficulty was experienced IN making
the turns to conform to the course OF the channel
and In passing the Arsenal wharf the Baltimore
was considerably jammed between the wharf and
the ship At the mouth of the Anacostia she again
stuck on the bar, at the same place the Vanderbilt
did. This morning the tide was higher than usual
in consequence of the high southerly winds last
night, and the steamers hitched on again and sue
ceeded in getting her safely over the bar but not
turning fast enough, she was carried 90 far across
the Washington channel and got aground again.
The boats were still endeavoring to get her off
when we left.
SECRETARY TO BOARD OF TRUsTEEs.-In these
days of official impotency, it is pleasant to hear or
read of the faithful performance of duty by persons
accepting public and responsible stations. The
National Itteiligencer has once or twice alluded
to the indefatgable cxertions OF Mr.. Abbot Sec
rotary to the Board Of Trustees of Public Schools
complimenting him on the brilliant success which
has attended tho examination of all the schools in
the District We do not object to the honorable
mention which has been made of this gentleman,
presumng that he is deserving of all that has been
said of him.
But we do object to Mr.. Abbot's receiving all
the credit, to the utter neglect of the Trustees,
who have BEEN we can attest, ESQ far as the 4th
district is concerned, interchangeable in the dis
charge of their duties, giving their services with
out fee or reward, to promote the public good. 1t
ia not true, as the Itelligencer asserts that the
services of the Secretary to the Board are gratui
tous. He receives 5000 per year for his services,
an ample compensation for the labor performed,
whereas the Trustees devote their time and talents
to the welfare of the schools without receiving one
cent therefor. Theirs ia labor of love, and they
ought to receive and will receive at the hands of
discerning public, the acknowledgment that their
labors appreciated. This is all the reward they
expect. There arespeople in this world, 80 near
sighted that they cannot see through any glasses,
however excellent, unless they are set in frames of
gold.
CAUTIoN.-It is asserted that Lyons Magnetic
Powder" for the destruction OF reaches, bed-bugs,
1.N+l, x~ck
may be, we know the fact that gentleman of this
city who recently used the article, applying it in
the usual way, was most unusually and painfully
affected thereby. Some of the mixture got into
his mouth, and although he rnsed and washed and
used every means to prevent unpleasant conse-
quences, he was seized with pains and soreness
from his mouth to his stomach, and was, not un-
reasonably, we think, alarmed at the symptoms.
If not poison, they contain something prejudical
TO humanity as well as bugs, big and little.
JURY TRIAL.-A trial, civil prosecution for debt,
was had before Justice Hollingshead, commencing
at o'clock yesterday, and lasting all night DR..
Leiberman warranted Asa Gladmon for services
rendered during sickness. The attending physician,
DR. Eliot by consent of Mr.. Gladmon, called in for
consultation the former The patient getting
worse, and no benefit accruing from their attend
ance, they were both discharged, and DR.. Lincoln
called who discovered that the patient was suffer-
ing from fstua. He Immediately operated there
for, and the patient recovered. Verdict for de-
PENDANT.
TROUBLE AMONG THE SCAvEEGERs-Some of the
citizens Of Seventh Ward, not wishing to create
nuisance in their neghborhoods, applied to Mr..
Balenger, the old scavenger of the Ward, to clean
their privies, which he proceeded to do. Mr..
Mullen, the new appointee by Mayor Magruder,
but rejected by the Board of Aldermen, brought
suit against Mr. Balenger for interfering with his
privileges. The case was brought before Squire
Williams, by whom it was dismissed for want Of
evidence.
MISSION ExcURsIoN.-The friends of East Wash
ington Mission advertise excursion to Aqua
Creek, tomorrow, at s o'clock, on board the
steamer Alice Price, from the foot of Seventh
street. All who desire to do good, which, by the
way, is the way to get good should patronize this
effort. See advertisement.
