anticipated him, declining to serve, and
rendering his resignation. Not being
able to account for or interpret such an
eccentric and strange Inconsistency, the
messenger requested to see the letter Of
resignation, and this was shown to him :

terms Of office have now expired. and who,
through the fat Of the free and enlightened citizens
from any further official management OF municipal
affairs, were present. looking at the more fortunate
nances that they wished very much That such things
could not be. When the Board got to york they
made the resolutions dance, so to speak. Resolu-
tions were introduced to pave Forty-fiEt street
from Eighth to Ninth avenue, Thirty sixtn street
from Third to Sixth avenue Scventh-fourth street
from First to Third avenue Fifteenth street between
to Tenth avenue with Beis,ais pavsmens which wess

were referred to the committees. Committees were
appointed to wait upon his Honor the Mayor and
the Board OF Councilmen for the purpose OF an
nOuncing to his Honor and to the other Board that
the Board Of Aldermen for 1868 was about to ad-
journ sine die. The committees shortlylreturned
and announced that the parties upon whom they
had waited had no communication TO make. A
committee from the Board Of Councilmen waited
upon the Aldermen and notified them that the
Councilmen were about to adjourn stne die. After
the usual complimentary resolutions to the Clerk
ana President the Board for 1868 adjourned.
