CONVICTION NEWS.

To he Editors Of the DaiIy Press:
CeVINGFoN, March "a.
We witnessed the wonderful feat Of walk
ing the rope, by a young. man 1--WE Think
from Maysville. We think he did remark
ably well and in the art Of walking, in par
%ticular, we think he will vie with the famous
Blondiu. He show a well-balanced head
if not mind, and seems to be an Intelligent
youth and we exceedingly regret to see
one endowed with all the ennobling attri-
butes OF nature physically, and, we doubt
not, mentally, thus misappropriate the gifts
that appointments Providence has iavished
upon him. cd
1t is hoped he Wal cease to follow the fool
ish and dangerous aVocationS for it yields 40,
good.
Let him rather turn his astention to some
humane and usefal calling that will benefit
himself and mankind; By doing so he will
have the satisfaction that he is not a mere
cipher in the world, but will confer lasting
beneht upon himself and the community.
ARREST FOR ByRGLARX.-Quite an excite
ment was created yesterday by the arrest of
Edwin Moore, a young man belonging to a
respectable family, residing on the corner of
Eighth and Craig streets. The charge made
against hiIa was for taking two gold lockets
and a chain from the house of Mr. J. HaroeJ-
printer, in Cincinnati. One looket was foRnd
IN his possession, and the other at the lew
elTy-store OF w. III. Notch, t0.whom he had
sold it a short time previous. The chain had
been baFtered for a silver watch.

CoRoNER's INoUEsT.-Coroner Emmert was
called up on Saturday last to hold an inquest
upon the body of an aged negro woman,
named Polly West, who was found dead in
her bed, at No. 80 West Front street. 1t
appeared from the testimony that she had
been in bad health for some time, but had
been at her usual occupation rag gatheriug)
on the previous day.
She was very old, and at one time belonged
to Mr.. Benjamin Griffin, ofCampbell County,
Kentucky, but purchased her freedom ON
years since, and removed to this place. She
had but one child, named Charles, who be.
longed to Mr.. VIM. Sachel, of Alexandria,
Kentucky, and as soon as her own freedom
was secured she turned her efforts towardh his
purchases agreed upon a price, and paid
$3.50 of the money down. She afterward
paid $3.50 more, when her son was permitted
to 60 with herr she giving her note for the
balance of the money.
At this time, however, she fell sick, and
from that time continued in bad health, and
when the remaining payment became due,
the boy was seized as a fugitive slave, and
sold South, but the money paid was not re-
turned. Since her health has been in the
decline, she has followed the occupation Of
arag-picker, and thus managed to live; and
it is believed that her death was fastened by
exposure consequent upon her occupation.

School BoARD-Proceedings Last Night.
The Board met at the usual hour last
night, President King in the Chair. The
minutes of the previous meeting were read
and approved.
Mr.. Hurlburt, Gle k of the Board, sent in
q request for leave of absence during one
week, and for the appointment of Mr.. I. ].
Allen as a substitute. The request was
granted.
Mr.. Payne moved that an appropriation of
800 be made to purchase eighty -one window
shades for the school. house in the Fifth Dis
trict. Adopted.
A motion was made to discharge Miss
Hartman, of the Thirteenth District, and
award her the usual certificate. The reason
offered in favor of the motion was that she
had, by misunderstanding of the rules, been
employed to teach both German and English,
and that a majority of the trustees of the
district favored her retention, contrary to
the rules, and that the matter should be de-
cided by the Board. The subject was referred
back to the trustees with instructions to re-
port.
Mr.. King left the Chair, which was taken
by Vice. President Wilstach.
Mr.. King moved that the Committee on
Consolidating the intermediate Schools, be
instructed to report on the ~expedieney of
changing a existing rule, so that there be
n teacher for every forty-iye scholars,
not excluding one principal and one Ger
man teacher. Adopted.
He also moved that the Committee on
Funds and Taxes be instructed to inquire
into the ~expediency of changing the mode
of making appropriations and keeping &C
counts, so as to diminish expenditures. He
advocated the proposition, stating that there
seemed to be a strife among the various dis
tricts to obtain their share Of the fund.
Mr.. Harding thought the city had under
taken an immense work, in Offering to sdn-
cate all the children free of charge, and that
they ought to be prepared to foot the bill.
He was opposed to reducing the teachers
salaries.
Mr.. King said that the expense per. capita
in the schools in Cincinnati was much
greater than in Boston and other Eastern
cities. He thought retrenchment could be
accomplished without reducing salaries.
The resolution was adopted.
A resolution was offered by DR.. Davis that
the committee on the consolidation of the
four intermediate Schools into two houses,
be instructed to report on the propriety Of
consolidating the two High Schools into one
house. Passed.
Adjourned.
