Thursday, , teachers, 40 scholars; Friday,
teachers, 10 scholars. Average Of teachers about
>: average Of scholars about 81.
The school has reopened with fresh interest
upon the part of the scholars, and it IS sincerely
hrred that sufficient number of teachers will
volunterr to enable the committee to carry on
tbs most important work with success. A num-
}r" Il the boys make great sacrifices TO come,
n. they do not receive attention after their
-. al efforts, they naturally fee. discouraged,
am are tempted t" stay away altogether,
Ti.cre are in the school five or six different
grades Of scholarship and at least as many teach
erS are required to give them the attention they
need Teachers are needed only for Mondays
Tuesdays and Thursdays, as Wednesday ana
Friday nights are devoted to general exercises
:, person devoting one evening in the week con
>r.rntously to this work can perhaps accomplish
NEE real good than in any other way open to
him.
\ QuANDARY. The late action Of the c."
Council in selling the horse used by the Aims
House authorities to draw the garbage cart,
and the consequent withdrawal OF that rather
ullsightly aud offensive. but somewhat neces-
sary vehicle, from the public thoroughtareS has
put many in a quandary as to the proper mode
Of di>posing of their kitchen slnps and garbage.
So long as the hogs that were kept on the out
skirts of the city were alive there was lively
demand for slops. but now that these swine
have been slain the slop barrels retain their
contents until they overflow. The law imposes
d fine on those who deposit garbage in the
streets, but as there is no Stop man now,
what can be done with it? The Superinten-
dent of Police has so far winked at the tran.
erosion, but that he will always do so is t.
much to be expected from an officer SO impa
tial 10 the administration of the duties OF his
office. There is another city ordinance which
prohibits the throwing OF ashes, &c., IN the
streets This is ope My disregarded by all. But
the Superintendent Of Police, is seriously con-
Sidering the propriety of bringing these Ques-
pour the accumulated garbage Of the city into
the streets and as manifesty improper tor 1t
TO he retained on the premises, but il not to be
put in the streets, then, where? That is the
question.
RELIGIOUS UBsERvANCEs. In consequence
Of the troubled state of affairs at Rome, and

Mary's Church in this city for three days past,
services being held at a.. IN. and 4 p. 10.
