JOSEPH FLANNERY.
AS the above report was read ques-
tons were asked eliciting detailed in
formation as to the basis upon which
the estimates were made. The ca
pacity of the reservoir estimated, is 2,GO0,-
900 gallons or full supply for the city for
at least three days. 1t was found that q
reservoir 200X300 could be built at reason
able additional cost which would hold
G, 900 900 gallons or a supply for about ten
days. For slight additional expense,
larger pumps could be secured and the
pumping capacity increased very materi-
ally.
THE SITE FOR THE RESERVOIR.
The engineer recommends Mabry Hill.
This gentleman, it is now said, will not
sell all his ground, but the committee
think he will. The whole thirty acres
could be bought for S20,0 900 or enough for
the reservoir and houses for from $4,000 to
$4,000. This would swell the grand cost
of the work to little over 100000. The
estimates of the engineer are liberal accord
ing to his statements. If let out to respon-
sible contractors the works could be con-
structed upon full specifications for less
than 100000, site and right of way from
pumping machinery at the river included.
Mr.. Flannery offers to give bond in double
the amount of his estimate to do the work
at that price and guarantee it.
Ex-Mayor Van Glider, who was present
at the meeting of the Committee advises
| that they ask for at least Sl25, 900. The
extra S25 900 he thinks will be needed for
| in cidentdls and for q fund to extend the
pipes as fast as needed. He wants the
| bonds to run 80 years at eight,per cent. in
terest, to be secured by the earnings of the
works. .Some of the Committee think
| $50, 900 ought to be appropriated. The
| bonds to be issued as needed for present and
future use. The eX-Mayor, advises buying
all of Mabry's place and sell off the
| lots not needed. He thinks the city could
make speculation out of it. The estima-
| ton is on the basis for 81 miles of main
pipes. The gas works now have down
! five miles. The water works will, howev-
er, supply more territory, as 1t is said the
means could be laid more judiciously.
WHAT WILL BE DONE?
The above estimate is intended merely
! for the basis upon which the city can
make its contracts. They can change the
size OF the pipes, or the proportion ofsmall
pipes, increase the number and size OF
| pumps and engines or increase them. The
committee will meet again next Friday
afternoon, when they will be glad to hear
| suggestions from tax payers before making
their report to- the Council, that night. All
persons in favor of or opposed to the works
are expected to speak out. Any sugges-
tons as to their cost, extent, &C., &C., will
be in order. 1t is matter for the tax
payers who have to foot the bill and If the
works are TO be built lit is their duty to see
that they are built on the best and cheap
| est Dlan.

SUNDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

To-day Is the last Sabbath before the
lS73d Christmas, or assumed birth OF
the Redeemer VI The world. The souls
of men who can withdraw themselves
from the active avocations Of life,
cannot fail to be awakened by the re-
tiecti0ns which that great natal birth
day calls up. Bethlehem, Judea, the
life and miracles Of our Savior and
his agonising sweat Of blood on CAL
vary's. Mount = Pontius Pilatethe
High Priest--the Centurion Mary-~pe-
ter--the beloved disciple, John sc
pulchre-- the resurrection meeting
with the Apostles--the ascension to the
Father in the realms of everlasting
bliss-all these, however touching and
sublime, are but part of the trans
cepdent emotions awakened in the
Christians heart, by the annual
return of the day ON which was born
the Savior Of mankind. Christians of
all shades of thought--Greeks, Catho-
lie, HISTORIAN, Protestant, Waldensian
Albigensian-all, all do honor, accor-
ding to their various customs, to the
day and the event The cross OF
Christ Is now seen and honured IN
every considerable subdivision Of the
earth's surface; not only in Christian
lands, properly 30 considered, but in
Pagan, heather and uncivilized coun-
tries. 1t is found in China, Hindos-
tan, Asia Minor, Persia, Beloochistan,
Polynesia, the South Sea Islands, Aus
tralia, in the frozen region of Siberia,
and in the burning plains of Africa. Its
followers sleep in every soil OH the
face of the globe, and its
power is steadily extending from

LOCAL MATTERS.

AN INSURANCE CASE-CRIMINAI
OHARGE.-The case of D. W. Moore, vs.
the Flreman's insurance company OIL
San francisco, and the Virginia Fire and
Marine insurance company, of Richmond,
suit to recover the amount of the insu-
rance upon the Shockoe plaster mill build
ing and contents, formerly located on the
south side of the Dock, and near the foot
Of Seventeenth street, and destroyed by fire
on the oath of December, 1871, has &C.
cupied the attention of the city circuit court
for the past few days. The claim was for
the full amount Of the policies, 1000.
The jury rendered verdict for 81 900
for the plaintiff, being portion of a
81, 500 policy in the company last named.
After the verdict of the jury had been
rendered by the clerk, Judge Wexford said
that painful duty devolved upon him !;
that he had throughout the trial observed
the facts elected, showing the plaintiffs
personal connection with the matters in
controversy, and, though he had no crimi-
nal jurisdiction. he felt that Mr.. Moore
ought to be brought before tribunal for
hearing on the charge of altering entries in
his accounts, and afterwards falsely swear
ing to their correctness.
Captain George D. Wise, common
wealth's attorney, and counsel for the in
surance companies in this case, moved the
court to commit Moore to custody, felony
having been committed in its very presence.
Moore was accordingly put under arrest,
but was released upon bail in the sum Of
81 900, conditional for his appearance be-
fore the grand jury of the hustings court
for indictment.

TEAcHER,s MEErING IN PErEr

TEACHERS MEETING IN PETERS,
BURG.-Professor Joynes, of Washington
and Lee University, accompanied by Pro-
lessor Binford, Of this city, attended a
meeting of the public school teachers of
Petersburg yesterday, and both gentlemen
addressed the meeting at length. Profess
sor Joynes 1--we quote from the Index said
while teaching was an important source of
livelihood for many persons, it was also a
grand and noble profession, and the
finest of all the fine arts. 1t was the
best, noblest. highest and most
responsible of all callings, except that of the
minister of the gospel. He warned the
teachers present that there is not only no
excellence without labor, but that the
teacher who ceases to study, not only the
text books but the dispositions and peculi-
arities of the pupils, is unfit for the respon-
sible position he occupies; for while the
teacher may master his text books there is
always something new to be learned in hui
man nature.
Mr.. Binford's remarks are spoken of in
the highest terms of praise as practical and
exceedingly interesting, detailing the pro-
gress of our schools and the various meth
DDS employed in overcoming the difficulties
which were met at every step in the begin
ming. The Index says he spoke as prac-
tical working man, who thoroughly under
stood the subject under discussion, and
was deeply in earnest in the great cause of
education. The Petersburg teachers will
hold meetings once month in future.

ART ENTERTAINMENTS ofeSsor
Cromwell promises us some highly artistic
representations at Virginia Hall, next week,
through the medium of peculiarly con-
structed lenses, denominated cosmo-
scope. Groups Of statuary from the grand
old masters; rich and rare paintings; the
magnificent palaces of the Old World; the
great cities of earth, with their stored
obelisks, their towering monuments, their
cathedrals, their legislative halls, their cas-
tellated abbeys; portraits of renowned
heroes and poets and statesmen are pre-
sented, not as in q picture, but with all
the realistic effect Of their originals. The
exhibition will open Monday night and con.
tinue throughout the week, with Satur-
day afternoon performance.
To show our readers the estimation in
which these exhibitions are held, we may
point to what Oliver Wendell Holmes
beautifully says: $40 sit in darkness and
have these visions of strange cities, OF
stately editices, of lovely scenery, of noble
statues, steal out upon the consciousness,
and melt away one with another, is like
dreaming long, beautiful dream with
eyes wide OPEN" John G. Whittier,
after witnessing the representations, wrote
to Prof. Cromwell: The statues particu-
larly called forth my admiration. They
were solid and rounded forms of grace and
beauty" The press OF Washington, Bal
timore, and other cities north, speak in
unqualified terms of praise of the magnifi-
cent exhibitions, and are not stinted in
complimenting the Professor as lecturer
and musician. They are calculated to bene-
fit and elevate all who witness them.
