OF Mr.. p A Boswell, City Register. in the late
connIct between himself and the MayOr with
reference 10 the school fund. and returning
thanks 10 him for the same. This resolution
was opposed by Messrs. Cary White and Abra-
ham Scott; after which. on motion. il was laid
on the table. Mr.. White did not think il n
proper subject for the club to legislste upon

in the matter. The question was one TO be set

Scott took the same view of the subject and
believed that the resolution. if insisted upon

cause. The school question was one OF A COM

the Fifth Ward, being called up, said that he
had caught cold by attending a meeting of This
