CITY COUNCIL.


BOARD OF ALDERMEN. There was no re-
sponse by this Board to the call for an extra
session, consequently there WAS no sport.
BOARD OF ASSISTANT ALDERMEN.-Th
Mayor yesterday issued a call for the City
Council TO meet in extra session, but the OBJ
iect was unknown to all. There seemed to
be a general muddle. At fifteen minutes
past six o'clock, Messrs. Kearny, Farrell and
Rose meet in cOnClave; the meeting was
called to order by the chairman, where
upon Mr.. Farrell moved an indefinite ad-
iournment, which was unanimously and vo'
ciferously carried. The only persons pres
ent were the three members mentioned and
this reporter-nO one else. The adjourn
ment perfected, the room was left to u.s. the
porter meanwhile turning off the gas. Be
lore we had finished a page OF d report,
several members, old and new, appeared
and demanded that another meeting be
called, Meanwhile, several of the newly
elected members insisted on the Secretary re.
ceiving their credentials, and that he should
call their names. This Mr.. Tobin positively
refused to do, and consequently there was
much loud talking. The chairman, was
confused, confounded, and did not know
what to do. He had not been informed OF
the object of the meeting. Finally he
took the chair, and sounded the gsyel,
when a number of gentlemen, most OF them
unknown to us as cOuneilmen, dropped into
the easy chair. Mr.. Pandely here arose ana
desired to know the reason of his being sent
for. No one was able to inform him
whereupon he asked leave to withdraw. He
withdrew. Mr.. Kearny ordered the roll to
be called, and no sooner had the secretary
commenced calling the roll than every mem
Der, old and new, slid out one by one, SO by
the time the four or five names had been
called the room was vacant. And so the
meeting adjourned itself without tormality.

GAS FIrTNG.-We publish this morning
the card of Captain John G. Fleming, the

low Hall is an honor to his skill and taste,
the gas fixtures of that edi6ce being the ad-
miration of all who see them, Captain
Fleming keeps on hand, at his store, every
description of chandelier and brackets for
public halls, private dwellings, stores OF
offices, and his prices are moderate. Give

see again at the Academy the smiling face
of Professor Haselmayer, the greatest living
magician, in his famous fests of presudigl-
tatiOn, legerdemain and Asiatic necroman-

reminded that his entertainments are very
pleasing, and we advise also those who have
not seen him to go sure.
