ALL IN THE GRAIE.-William Claiborne is
complained of by J.. H. Harris for having
obtained from him note of hand for 5000
on pretense OF selling to him a certain
amount of grain stored with ]. s. Adams
When Mr. Harris applied for the grain at the
warehouse of Adams he was informed that
Mr.. Claiborne had no grain there, as Mr.
Adams had purchased the same. We do not
pretend to say that there is any rascality in
the transaction, for to us itappears that the
entire subject is one of many commercial
transactions that eventually come to sat.

quite Recommendation to the superinten-
dent and his able assistants in their man
sgement of the responsible duties intrusted
them.
In addition to the school exercises there
was varied and interesting programme
consisting of singing, dancing, dialogues,
minstrelsies. A duet of little girls reciting
dialogue attracted considerable stten-
ton, and received great applause, of which
they were justly deserving.
From Mr.. Jovian, to whom this reporter
is indebted for numerous courtesies, we
learn that the school will have no vacation
this summer.
The hsrmonial band, under the leader.
ship of Mr.. John B. Wunsch at intervals
added to the pleasure of the occasion by
dispensing sweet and lovely music which
seemed to fairly enrspture the little ones.
To-nightthe exhibition will be concluded,
and as most interesting programme is an
nounced it is supposed everybody will at
tend.
Admission twenty-five cents.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.-At a called meeting
of this body there were present Mr.. Markt y,
presiding, and Messrs. Brady, Kaiser,
0'Brien, and Shields, also.
A message from the Mayor contained
nothing in particular, but stated that the
members who wished to have the Board
called together would explain the object of
the called session.
Mr.. Kaiser understood that the object was
to take into consideration the bonds offered
by certain city officials who had lately been
chosen to office.
A resolution from the lower Board ap-
proving the bonds offered by Treasurer W.
S. Mount was coneurred in.
Mr.. Shields asked for information relative
to reported difference of $4,000 in the &C.
counts of the Treasurer and Controller. He
understood thst experts had made report
to the Finance Committee more than week
ago, and he wished the Board to be informed
on the subject.
Mr.. Prados, member of the Finance Com
mittee, had never seen it.
Mr.. Poynot had not seen the report, hut
he knew that a committee had been ap.
pointed to investigate the matter, but that
committee has as yet made no report. Mr..
O'Brien, the chairman, had no report to
make, for he had seen none; but he had
requested Mr.. Howell to hand in report of
the condition of the Office. Mr.. O'Brien
made motion that the experts be instruct.
ed to hand in weekly statements, and in case
of failure that the Finance Committee be
empowered to discharge them. This motion
was unnecessary, IS the power already
exists.
The Board adjourned, after having held
considerable conversation, but nothing fur.
ther was really accomplished.
