Motion was made in tie Council
Of the incorporated town of Ripley by
one of the members. a few evenings
since, to repeal the ordinance prOhib-
iting ale and beer houses in that vii
lage. A motion was made to lay the
repeating ordinance, and the vote stood
a tie, when the mayor gave the casting
vote to lay the said ordinance on the
table A motion was also made in
Council to authorize the Mayor to
employ counsel to look to the inter
est of the town. The vote on this mo-
ton was tie. We should judge, from
these proceedings that one half of the
Ripley Council were in favor ofthe free
flow of beer, ale, whisky, and all that
villainous invention of His Satanic
Majesty.

Report OF Washington Union schools
for the Week Ending Way 5, 1871.

We are glad toreport ceases of tardiness,
none" again. 1t has been decided to ad-
nit no more new pupils to the school dur
ing the present term. The reasons for this
course are, that the Superintendent time
will be entirely occupied in a general ex-
animation, and the classes are at such a
stage of their work as to prevent new pu-
pills from deriving much benefit during the
last month of the year. This arrangement
does not exclude pupils who have lately
been in school but have been, for good rea-
sons, withdrawn for a few weeks.
