DAMAGE BY THE Ice MovING.-The ice on

move yesterday morning, and soon Aoated

contractors some loss and delay. ....

Mr. Horne, on the part of the Board repli-
ed at length to the objections filed, showing
the inconsistency of the proceeding, as Heen-
an claimed that the action of the Board in his
removal was nulilty, and then, through his
counsel makes it . reason for asking discon-
tinuance of the hearing. Mr.. Horne reviewed
the bearings and merits Of the case, to show
that no impediment existed to action on the
part Of the Executive the same as if the occur
,rences intervening between the last session of
the trial before Mr.. Sibley had not come up.
Mr.. Gilman said that the action of the
Board superseded all action on the part Of the
Executive even were he authorised to act, &c.
Mr.. Ames replied on the part of the Board,
going intoa lengthy and elaborate analysis of
the case, and urging that it was yet properly
before the Executive. He reviewed the evil
dence taken, and said that it showed willful
violation on the part Of Heenan of the statutes
regulating his acts and oAice-that he exhib
tied hardened impudence in his cool and in
nocent effrontery that betokened moral tur-
pitude on his part.

other side, the case was submitted for exami-

THE VOYAGE.-ditHOuSu IL WAS Cne emu OI the
season when Wards celebrated Ice Boat was
completed, he at once resolved on making his
long contemplated voyage to St. Paul at all
hazards. Every body here had given up all
hope Of seeing it this Spring, and concluded
that Capt. Wizard could not get through. But
at late hour last night, or rather, early this
morning, just as our paper was going to press,
the amphibious craft was actually being
moored at the Lower Landing, where she now
lies
We have only time to repeat word or two
of the remarkable trip, from the captains &C.
count It seems that after having made one
or two little experiments on the ice at the foot
Of the Lake, Capt. Wizard put on all steam,
and At a high rate Of speed, glided over the
CLASSY surface oethe Lake like magic. So
great is the speed and momentum attainable,
that the boat actually leaped ooer one or two
gaps in the ice, and glided over weak places
with such swiftness that it did not give way.
Only once did the boat ''break through" caus.
ing but momentary delay, as by it's appli.
anoes, it soon regained its proper element.
Having arrived at the end of the Lake, in
stead of the usual propelling power, "stern
wheel " was attached, thus transforming this
singular conveyance into small, but quite
elective steamboat, - such in fact it resem-

TIE School ExHIBIrIONs.-The various
schools Of our city held the closing exercises Of
the term yesterday. At the jefferson and
Adams Schools, we are told, the exercises,
which consisted of declarations, essays, dia-
logues, &c., together with the presentation of
the usual certificates, were of q most inter-
esting character, and the spectators who were
present were highly pleased at the proficiency
exhibited.
At the Washington School we were person.
ally present, and must say that the occasion
was most entertaining one. The exercises
were rather long-occupying over three hours,
but their varied nature, and great inter-
est kept the crowded audience of pupils, la
dies and gentlemen fixed to their seats the
whole time, and agreeably entertained them
Some original declarations and essays were
produced, that showed excellent cultivation in
the authors. The dialogues were exceedingly
entertaining aud one or two papers, (compos-
ed Of contributions were read, that were re-
al cleverly got up.
A vacation Of three weeks intervenes be-
tween the term just closed, and the summer
term.

"THE rwA DoGs."-Two CANNES met yes

street bluff. For . moment they eyed each
other while their wrath was bilin over, and
then with irrepressible rage, and howl of
vengeance they "wenfin." As the poick
says
Tooth to tooth and claw to claw opposed,
In dubious strife they 6ercely closed!
They growled and bit, and snapped and
scratched and CRASHED their wicked looking
dentals, and terrific was the scene. Nearer
and nearer the edge Of the bluff they swept,
unconscious of the awful fate impending DER
them. With their teeth imbedded in each
others shaggy hide, over the dizzy prccipice
they tumbled, down, down, down to the aw
full depth Of ten feet or less. They picked
themselves up, wiser but sadder dogs, and
each went his several way at full speed.

E. A. RAYMoND's LEcTuRE.-The lecture of
E. A. Raymond of St. Anthony before the
Mercantile Library at the Presbyterian Church
on Monday evening last, was attended by a
respectable and intelligent though not very
numerous audience. His subject was, 1.-THE
Practicable Aspects Of Literature" This he
handled in plain but forcible manner-show-
ing how literature in its different branches
aided alike the farmer, the mechanic, the pro-
fessional man and the politician, in their sew
eral avocations, was a thing of pleasure, .
thing of ability, a thing Of power. In this
latter view, he dwelt upon literature as ap.
Piled to the newspaper press: on its broad
cast power and influence, which made it, in
the mental economy Of the worlds motions,
not the fourth estate in the country, As some
had called it, but the first, in its consequence
and effects upon the community. The lee
ture, on the whole, was . creditable effort.
Mr.. Raymond is brother of the editor Of the
New York Times.

FUNERAL SERMON OF JACOB M. CHALrANr.
The funeral sermon of this late much re-
spected citizen was preached yesterday morn
ing at the Baptist Church by Rev. Jno. D.
Pope. 1t was a master piece Of this talented
divine, and was listened to by very large
congregation, most of whom were members
of other churches. The many public and
private virtues of the subject of the eulogy,
who was one Of the prominent members of
that church, were rehearsed, and his benevolent
and unostentatious charity and kindness well
and infinitely enlarged upon. That church
may indeed be said to have lost one of it's
most valuoble and jealous members, who fully
deserved tho eloquent and fitting tribute be-
slowed upon him by its pastor yesterday.
