siding.
Amongst the communications received were
the following:-
One from the Thirteenth section, asking
that the salary of the janitor of the Wyoming
school be increased to one thousand dollars
per annum.
One from the Twentieth section, asking
authority to open division school in the
Spring Garden House house.
One from the Fourteenth section, asking
that measures be taken to dispose of the
Monroe Grammar School, in accordance with
an act of Assembly.
One from the Twentieth section, east, ask
ing for an appropriation of $4,000 for altera-
tions to building on Eleventh street, below
Thompson
One from the Twentieth section, west, ask
ing for the purchase of lot on Oxford street,
near Eighteenth.
One from the Twenty-second section, ask
ing for an appropriation of $4,000 for the
erection of school building on Limekiln
turnpike, lot for that purpose having been
donated by the owner.
One from the Fourth section, stating that
the new school building at Shippen and Gull

After some discussion the name was con-
frmed.
Mr.. Michael Blynn, appointed Controller
from the Twenty-frst ward, appeared and
took the oath of office.
The Committee on Accounts reported bills
amounting to S211, ,45G'27, which were or
dered to be paid.
The Committee on Supplies reported that
proposals for supplying fuel had been adver-
tsed for and received.
The committee is of opinion that coal can
be purchased at a later day at a much more
reasonable rate than at the present time. The
contract for charcoal had been awarded to
Richard Donegy, at sixty cents per bushel.
Mr.. Hoffman said that if the contracts had
been awarded at the amounts contained in the
proposals, it would have been necessary to ask
City Councils for an extra appropriation. The
total amount of the bids is $40, 900, while the
appropriation is $45, 900.
Mr.. Stanton thought that in month or
two hence coal will not be any cheaper than it
is now.
After considerable debate the resolution au-
thOriZing another advertisement for proposals
was agreed to.
Mr. Lukens, of the Committee on Text
Books, submitted a report in favor of placing
''Martindale's History of the United States

ruE TALE OF AZ OLD coAr.

Probably there is not to be found in
all the vocabulary of accidents anything
that will surpass the following history
of an old coat. There seems to be some
thing uncommon connected with the
entire history of the coat from the time
it was lost up to the time of its recov-
cry. We have often read strange sto-
ries in regard to the losing of property
and the tracing of it up, step by step,
until it was finally discovered; but the
one we are about to relate, while there
is nothing very extraordinary connect
ed with its history, yet there seems to
be train of circumstances of unusual
by its owner.
1t seems that gentleman from the
east came to this part of the country
about month or six weeks ago to look
at the country and buy some land and
town property, if the country suited
infinitely, and was so well pleased that
he invested to considerable extent,
and had about determined to return
home and bring his family here this
fall.
Having concluded his visit, he, in
company with other gentlemen, started
in two-herse vehicle to go down the
valley on prospecting tour. After
settling up his business here he drew
his money from the bank and put it in
to his side coat pocket The afternoon
being very warm he drew his coat and
put it into the back part of the carriage,
forgetting that his money was in it.
They had scarcely gone square before
they crossed an abrupt ditch on one of
our streets, which caused the aforesaid
coat to drop out on the ground. The
team drove on for ten or twelve miles
before the gentleman missed his coat.
When it was gone he remembered that

NEW REsTAURANT.-W. r. Shoop, of Co
lumbus, Ohio, has leased the 9th Avenue no.
tel from Paul Beck and is fitting it up for n
Restaurant. The entire building is undergo
ing extensive and radical repairs, and when
finished will be both attractive and comforta-
BILE. The front of the building has received a
new cornice and is being painted and penciled.
Entering the front door we found ourselves in
taseful and well arranged office. To the
right is small baggage room. To the left we
passed large dining room, capable of seating
twenty or thirty persons. To the right of
this is several stalls where oysters, etc., will
be served up to private parties. Passing up
stairs we found a number of comfortable rooms
being painted and papered. To the rear is a
large kitchen. The building is being painted
and papered throughout, and will be, when
finished, pleasant resort for those who desire
TO while away an hour in discussing the merits
of dish of oysters shell-fsh. Mr.. Shoop
has made arrangements to get his fresh oys-
tiers, fruits. confectionalies, etc, direct from
the east, and will therefore be able to furnish
the public with the best the market affords.

teen years, and is therefore well acquainte,
