DRAWING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS "A
correspondent of the New York tribune ably
advocates the introduction of the study of
drawing in the public schools, not as mere
faociful pllshment, but as an aid lc Indus
trial pursuits and an intellectual training 10 COM
prehensloo Of size, proportion, form and the
faculty to design and construct He suggests
that the capacity to understand working draw
ings is valuable to many mechanics aud ma
cbioists, and that boys and girls will mater-
ally increase their opportunities for securing
rcmuperative and pleasant employment by the
acquisition of fair degree of elementary
knowledge of drawing.

Police REPORT. Notwithstanding last
night was New Years night, and the fact that
there were some who had made 90 new reso-
lutious, the city was unusually quiet, aud DOT a
single case was at the station huuse this morn-
ing, for though the Mayor spent several hours
at his Office there, his time was solely occupied
In listening to the tales of suffering, told by
the numerous applicants for the poor's wood,
and 10 issuing orders upon the dispenser for
small supplies Of the required fuel
The police report that among the abseutees
who returned to the city to spend the holidays
were Hugh Strlder and Joe Buros, who,
though escaped members of the chain gang,
couldn't stay away from here during the
merry season.
Four persons only applied for aud we're ac-
commodated with lodgings at the station house
last night.
THE WEATHER. The disagreeable weather
of yesterday was aggravated towards night by
a slight fall Of snow, which soon became
sleet, covering the ground with az icy coating,
the thickness and slipperiuess Of which was In
creased by light rain that fell all night long
aod most of to-day. AS but few people took
the little trouble to scatter ashes on the side
walks in front of their houses, numerous
slips" have occurred, men, women and chill
dreu measuring their lengths upon the pave
ments continually iu all parts of the city, and
though no serious injuries are reported, many
persons have been badly hurt. The wicked
were not alone in standing on slippery places
to-day, aud the motto adopted by all who were
out on the streets was, those who stand, take
heed lest you FALL This evening the clouds
broke away and the SUP shone out brightly

visions usually exhibited at the market square
