THAT ILLUMINATIoN.-The Sunday Times
of yesterday says that the Common Council
killed the proposition to illuminate ON Tuesday
and calls upon the citizens TO do so. An order
passed the Board of Mayor and Alderman at
the regular meeting of the City Council, Feb.
| 7th, providing for an illumination upon the
| 22d and called upon all citizens to participate
| in the same. 1t was sent to the Common
Council for concurrence. Councilman Small
of Ward called for second reading of the
order, when it was discovered that it contem-
| plated that all citizens should participate in
said illumination and the same be charged to
the contingent fund, thereby making the city
responsible for all expense, both public and
private, of said illumination. The order was
returned to the Board of Aldermen for correc-
ton. 1t was corrected and returned to the
Common Council, when on motion of Council
man Cunningham of Ward 2 it was amended
so as to illuminate all public buildings except
the City Liquor Agency and public school
| buildings, when the order as amended was
| unanimously passed.
The order as amended was returned to the
Board of Aldermen, who doubtless feeling a
| little chagrined at the slight though important
error of the original order, now on motion of
Alderman Gerrish voted to strike out all after
the word ordered, thereby killing the entire
thing.
At special meeting of the City Council,
held Thursday evening last, the order as
amended was sent to the Common Council for
concurrence, that is, to strike out everything
and kill the proposition. The Council voted
unanimously to adhere to their former action
and to have an illumination, except as provid-
ed, but upon the return of the order to the Al
dermen, endorsed with that vote, it was at
once laid upon the table, and will probably lay
there for the next century. Subsequently an
| order was introduced into the Board of Alder
men providing for the illumination of the City
Building with gas. but the order was laid upon
| the table by the Common Council, who wished
to see good illumination and not such one
as may be witnessed almost every evening by
| lighting the gas in the City Building.

in st. John, N. B.-Le1ters from the
Departed.

Early Saturday morning Mr.. F. j. Rollins,
assignee of the Bank of Portland, received
small box from st. John, N. B. To his sur
prise, on opening it he discovered valuable
gold watch and chain aud letter which read
as follows:
ST. JOHN, N. B., Feb. II, 1876.
F. J. Rollins, Esq, Assignee:
Dear Sir,-I enclose the watch and chain be-
longing to my estate. 1 lost the bosom pin on
the cars. The ring cannot get off my finger
without spelling it. If you will accept the
prices of the pin and ring, as we agreed or, if
not, such prices as the court shall make. within
reason. will forward the money as soon as
hear from you, for them. All other articles
belonging to my estate you will find safe, and
as represented them to yon. loaned the
poorest sleigh to my brother-inlaw (Hamblett)
for a few days. He will deliver it to you in
good shape as he found it, presume it is
needless to ask your courtesy towards my fam
lily, and that in taking charge of things you
will spare their feelings as much as possible
Yours truly,
W. N. GooLD
The articles mentioned above were included
in Goods schedule of assets in bankruptcy,
way to have got them as long as he remained
beyond the limits Of the state. But as he
might wish to return to the city he probably
thought it best to return them. At present
there is nothing against him, and if the next
term of the U. S. District Court does not bring
in an indictment against him, there is no reas-
on why he should not return if he wishes
Those who know best, though, say that he will
never return, as it is impossible for him to do
business here again. His wife has received
several letters from him, and it is thought his
family will follow him in few days.
j. o. Winshp ESQ.,, counsel for Mr.. Goold,
received letter from him Saturday which in
substance is as follows
ST. JOHN, N. B., Feb II, 1876.

against me, and if could find the lost papers
l could prove my innocence.
Yours truly, w. N. GooLD.
Mr.. Goold has been in correspondence with
several st. John parties who own mines in

thought that he is to be employed by them as
mineralogist.
