DR.. Parker, luterrupting HIM, said !,
in tho most respectful manper and.
speaking as he always does, very de-.
'iberately, "Allow me, General, to sug-

great swing and throwing his body
forward, cried out, II hurl it back With

fso.ly still and very erect, remarked,
"Genera!, I am not afratd." -
This was said in very cool and de-
'liberate way, and bis manner being in
such contrast with that of the Gen.
eral, afforded . scene that no descrip-
ton Of ours can ever do Justice to.
Those who were not cenvulssd With
laughter were disguised with the con.
duct of Gen. A. The latter then said
largo majority Of the citiseus of St.
Cloud were opposed to tho action Of his
colleagues on the Committee and did
not want the Board to locate the School

drews then took the resolution from the
table and said, n will accept it.
adopt it. I move that it be adopted p
The vote being taken the resolution
was adopted. The following resolution
was then offered by Gen. A.:
Resoloed, That the stearns House proper
ty be not regarded as the permanent looa'

to nothing if the selection should prove
to be = good one.
