progressive studies, including the most advanced

ucational institution, he will acquire high
reputation for his evening school as he has gained
for his establishment for many years past. The
evening hours afford an opportunity to many young
men who are engaged in business during day time,
and doubt many of them will avail themselves of
the opportunity offered to qualify them for honora-
BILE positions in practical and professional life.

u REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE on PENSIONS.
The House Committee on Invalid Pensions to-day.
through Mr.. Perham of Maine, reported adversely on
the petition of the widow of Major General e. V
Sumner, praying for an increase Of pension from $50
to $50 per month, The committee could not consent
to increase OF pension to those who are already
receiving $50 per month, while so many poor widows
of common soldiers are receiving only IS. This is
supposed to settle large class of the same kind now
before the committee. The same committee also
made an adverse report on the petition of Mary
McLain.
The petition sets forth that Capt McLain while
he was commissioned only as a captain was at the
time of his death acting in the capacity of Lieut..
Col and prays that the widow may receive pension
corresponding TO the command in which he was act
ing at the time of his death. The report states that
during the many officers were killed or wounded
which they were commissioned and mustered and that
the committee is opposed TO granting pensions for
higher rank than hatin which the officer was actually
commissioned. As there was no opposition to the
report in the House, it is supposed that all similar
cases before the committee will be disposed of In the
same way,
