and was the subject of long discussion. The
ordinance authorizes the School Committee to
elect Superintendent, and fix his salary not ex
ceedng $1,000.
Councilman Rice moved to substitute the word
a. require" for g authorizes"
Debate ensued upon this amendment.
Mr.. Daniels would leave the Committee free to
choose as they were should be best qualified to
judge, whether such officer is essential or not
Mr.. Wall thought the amendment of no partic.
ular use. The Board could not be compelled to
agree upon Superintendent. The matter should
be left to their discretion.
Mr.. Rice regarded it as the duty of the City
Council, rather than of the Committee, to say
whether such office was necessary or not ii
they we're going to abolish the office, let it be
done in a manly way.
Mr.. Stone, in order to remove one inducement
which the committee would have to refuse com
pliance with the ordinance, would have it SO
amended that they should in that case forfeit their
pay He spoke at length on the general subject
of the superior tendency.
After some further discussion the amendment
was rejected by 8 yeas to IL nays
Mr.. Wall moved to limit the salary to 81, O0O
instead Of $1,000. Lost, to IA. The ordinance
then passed to be enrolled by II yeas to l nay

of Commerce. in Boston that the Saturday be-
ore the Monday which the note was due, Mr.
Hobbs came 10 the bank and inquired Of him IL
such note was not due there on Monday, and
saying that he wished to waive his right Of no.
tice and demand told him the note was in Bos-

that Stones character for truth and veracity

his business transactions.
The evidence being all in, Hon. Charles Allen
then, At hte o'clock, commenced his plea to the
Jury. carefully reviewing all the testimony In the
