would have all Corporation work done by the
| day.
Mr.. John Hickey said that he was one of the
delegates alluded to, and that the Mayor had
SAID that he would do all in his power to that
end.

Mr.: Nj. Murphy said if it could be SHOWN that
| the Mayor had ever vetoed a bill to grade and
| gravel street by days work, it would be time
enough to find fault.

SOMETHING NEw.-The committee appointed
by the Board of Education at Its last meeting to
consider the matter of giving an entertainment
with the pupils of our public schools, have re-
ported favOrably. The entertainment will con-
sist Of a 'Grand National AllegOry and Ia
beaux," introducing songs, declarations, dia-
logues, tableaux, sc. Some four hundred pu-
pills, selected from the various schools Of the
city, we learn, will take part; and as they will
receive the advantage of Mr.. Hager's thorough
drill in music and elOcution, and also pecuni-
airy advantage, we have no doubt the committee
nave acted wisely. The entertainments will be
given In some eight or ten days. This kind o.
entertainment now introduced here by Mr.. Ha-
gar, is pronounced brilliant, pleasing, and in
principal cities of the Union, where it has been
siyen several years with immense success.
