TUT TECHNICAL SCHooL.-The annual meet
mo of the trustees Of the free institute Of in
dustrial science was held on Wednesday, the
9th inst. The officers of the past year were all
reelected; and the corps of teachers remains
the same, with the exception OF Mr. Sherman,
instructor in mathematics, who leaves to occu-
Nv a position in the Chandler scientific school,
Hanover, N. H. His place is supplied by MIR.
Kimball. The exhibit of the treasurer's ac-
counts shows sound and healthy condition Of
the funds; and the general aspect of the insti-
tuition is highly satisfactory. Rev. E. II. Hall
was elected to fill the vacancy occasoned by the
decease of Rev. DIR. Hill in the board; and Hon.
l.. j. Knowles, of this city, to succeed S. Hard
;nq. Esq, of Athol, resigned. Preparations
were completed for the closing examinations
and the graduating exercises of the senior
class.
The president of the board, Hon. Stephen
Salisbury. in the spirit Of his well known and
tireless liberalty, read communication, in
which he requested the board to accept dona-
tiou of ten thousand dollars. This sum is de-
s,ened "as the commencement of fund, to be
called the graduates aid fund.-" the income of
which, after providing for the full main
tenance of the principal, "is to be distributed in
money to students who shall finish the pre-
ecribed course in this institute with the greatest
faitbfulness and excellence, according to the
determination of the trustees as to the recipients
and the amount to be given"
This thoughtful gift is only new indication
. .,s.e care and deep interest which the presi-
S.nt che, fishes for its welfare; and this last act
:. ,,o more o, steful as it extends his regards to
abe scholars who RSquit themselves hOuorably,

OPERATION OF THE BETTERMENT LAw.-The
board of mayor and aldermen having decided to
tax estates which they adjudge to have been
benefited by the alteration of Corbett street,
now Chatham street, made necessary by the re-
moyal of the terrace on Main street where the
above named street entered Main street, held
meeting last evening, at which schedule of as
Sessments was submitted for the criticism of per-
sons interested. Considerable opposition was
manifested to the plan, especially by the resi-
dents of Chatham street, all of whom it is pro-
posed to tax. They commended that the altera-
ton was no improvement to the grade
of Chatham street, and that it was
unjust to assess on them almost eXclu-
sivey the cost of the great Main street
improvement between Pleasant and Austin
Streets The residents of that part of Chatham
street between Crown and Newbury street rep
resented that they were too far removed from
the spot of improvement to be effected; also
that they are dwelling on private street, the
board having paid no attention to the olt re-
peated request for an acceptance of the street,
and the establishment on that steep western de-
cliyity of paved cutters and curb stones. The
lows, and is of course liable to revision before
any decision is reached:

ssThey say

They say-Ah well, suppose they do,
But can they prove the story true!
Suspicion may arise from naught,
From malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the they"
Who whisper what they dare not say
They say-But why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter wOrsel
No good may possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not nobler plan
To speak of all the best you cant
They say-Well, if it should be So,
Why need you tell the tale of woe
Will it the better wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow lessi
Will it the erring one restore,
Henceforth to Ego and sin no more
They say-Oh pause, and look, within,
See how thy hearts inclined to sin;
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its powe
Pity the frail, weep Ger the fall,
But speak of good, or not at all.

Serfdom while we abolished Slavery,
and the Country that in our darkest
hours never failed to give us the great
aid of its moral support. If he is pur-
sued with unwelcome attentions, the
experienced officers and men of the
world who form his suite will be able
to remind him that funkeys flourish in
all chimes; and if few of the baser
sort persist in signalling his visit by
abuse of mis- farther's Minister, he may
infer that American Doors are able to
write. But our people make him
heartily welcome, and be glad to have
him feel during his travels on this
continent that he can never journey
far enough not to be among friends.

Crushed TO Death i'm a Clock.

The bell-ringer in the cathedral at
Wurtzburg has persisted under very
singular circumstances. The church
possesses a splendid clock, with pom
derous and complicated works, while
pendulum of proportionate length
vibrates to and fro with O dull and
montonous thud. Recently the clock
needed cleaning, and the ringer was
deputed to superintend the work,
though he ruefully endeavored to be
excused from the task. 1t seemed
that he never willingly approached the
belfry from certain unpleasant asso-
Citations. About twenty years ago he
killed his predecessor in Office, accus-
ing him of carrying on q criminal
intrigue with his wife. When brought
to trial he escaped the gallows owing
to deficiency of legal proof. The
patronage of one of the eannons then
procured him the appointment vacant
by the death of his victim. Hence, it
is said, arose his superstitious dread
in connection with the belfry, which
was supposed by many to be haunted
by the ghost of the murdered ringer.
On the morning when the clock was
to be cleaned, it suddenly stopped,
and the bell-ringer was nowhere to be
found. A workman from the town
was sent for, and assembled the tower,
when he was Mortified to find the pen
dulum and lower works dripping with
blood. Upon searching further, the
body of the ben-ringer was found
entangled in the works, frightfully
mangled and crushed. One suppose
ton is that he committed suicide by
climbing up the pendulum and then
pitching himself into the machinery
of the clock. But the wonder loving
gossips of the place, with a thoroughly
German propensity for the horrible,
declare that the guilty man, upon
reaching the gloomy chamber wherein
the works revolved, was horror
stricken by the apparition of his pre-,
| decessor sitting aside the great bal

ance wheel of the clock, and had been
drawn into the works by a species OF
horrible fascination, similar to that
which the rattlesnake is said to exer-
else over its prey. There sat the
spectre, rubbing his CORY hands in
hideous glee, as the victim was slowly
drawn in among the cogwheels and
ratchets of the machinery. An agon-
izing yell, crush of bones, and all
was still! Such, according to Italie,
is the newest legend of the belfry OF
Wurtzburg.
