DBeRAoEFUL PROoEEDIEeS IN TIE FIRs7
WAED.-The primary meeting IN the First
Ward last evening was disgraced BY the
most outrageous conduct on the part Of GER
tain rOWdiss and bullies, who assumed to
cOntrOl the proceedings. Mr.. William Day,
= candidate for Assessor, was collared and
forcibly elected from the house by
Bill Harbeok, who then turned and as
ssulted one Of our most respectable citizens,
Mr.. o. ". Heard, throwing him sgainst the
stove and upon the Aoor. Rarbeck acted as
censor over the polls during the nomination
Of Assessor, seiEing and tearing in pieoes
tickets for those other than his favorite.-
During the assault upon Mr.. Heard, the
stove was knocked down, when the Foreman
Of the Engine Company in whose hsuss the
meeting was held, Mr.. Samuel Rowe, who
is also q policeman, Seissd Harbeck and
dragged him from the room. HarbeCk after
wards returned, and was again elected BY
Mr.. Rowe, who finally led him away.
A protest against the action of the meeting
on the part Of several voters Of the Ward
will be found elsewhere.

HICKS STRE1f SCHOOL E1HIBIfIoN.-The
West Side High School Building was crowd
cd Tuesday evening, the occasion being an
exhibition on the part of the scholars Of
the Hicks Street School. The programme
consisted Of declamations, recitstions, dia-
logues, tableaux, and instrumental and vo-
cal music. The letter was creditably exc
cutsd and performed BY the Misses Adams,
three sisters, who accompanied their voices
with the piano, violin and guitar. We have
seldom listened to better music, even from
older and PROFESSIONAL musicians. Mas
ter Charley Drake recited, in the character
Of ''TOPsy," the song of the "Dsath of Eva, {"
and did It effectively. he was dressed in
proper costume, with the glistening ebony
face, and was called upon By the audience
for repetition Of his part. A very hne
dialogue, adapted 70 the scholars, was cred
itably rendered, entitled " I'n try" Most
Of the school appeared in it. Declarations
were delivered by Masters Edgar Sherwood,
AlOnEO Davis, Harry lockwood, E. Chubb,
John Root, and E. Richard. They reflected
credit upon the teachers and pupils. Misses
Nelly McDole, Anna Masters, Fanny Gles-
son, Hannah Elliott, recitsd appropriate se-
leotions in pleasing manner. "The Five
Spirits" was recitsd BY that number Of
young misses, dressed In costume. Three
tablssux were presented, and were Hppreci-
ated BY the audience, who heartily SnOOrea
the performers.
The teachers Of The Kick Street School,
are Mr.. DuttOn and Miss Libby in the Gram
mar Department, Miss Walker and Miss
Curtis in the Intsrmmsdiate, and Miss
Warrington and Miss Folsom in the
Primary. They deserve much credit for
the proficiency of their scholars. and their
fidelity to the interests of the school The
exhibition was a success throughout.
