All other matters were delayed until the
next regular meeting, ard thus has the
wealth of our city been diminished to
the amount OF $36.
The paragraph in Wednesdays STAR
giving the facts in the matter OF the dis
mlssal of Mr.. w. M. Jackson, Principal
OF the Fourth-street Colored School, was
considered by the School Committee and
the action ofthe Advisory Board was re-
versed. Whereupon Mr.. Turner has
again called together the C0lored Ad-
visory Board and proposes to tight the
matter on his own grounds. Mr.. Jack
son, meanwhile, rs reinstated.
A well-dressed woman, representing
herself as the wife Of disabled Con-
federate soldier, has been wandering
through the streets for several days beg
glng. Yesterday a lady at the Carson
House, where she was stopping, recog-
nized her as an escaped lunatic and a
very desperate character. She made
some disturbance about the house when
she was arrested. La her possession
was found a letter addressed to her
mother IN Coyington, a Mrs. Crowley.
This, however, may be a freak OF her
lunacy.

The new ferry project is last assuming
the most satisfactory shape.
At Council meeting. the President be-
ing reported sick, Mr.. Nixon was called
to preside. and NJ. III. Bently appointed
City Clerk pro tenn. Reports OF standing
Committees producing no business, q
few small bills were ordered paid. When
the lately elected member from the
Third Ward presented his credentials
and was admitted to seat in the honor
arose to q question of privilege and
called Official notice Of the City
Council to the action of parties
making misstatements about the pro-
posed charter, when on motion, the citi-
zen alluded to was allowed to make
statement, which he did, successfully
refuting the scurvy. hearsay charge
of obtaining signatures to the re-
monstrance petition by wrongly stating
the issue involved. From present indl-
cations the charter will be consider
ably cut down, if not rejected altogether.
Councilmen aggrieved at my remarks,
either verbal or printed, can have satis-
faction on demand.
Very respectfully,
PAT. G. LEAN.

Proverbs xiii, is. Upon reading an
| article in the Trade List of February %,
aud signed by "Ebeneezer Bassett,"
| was struck with the wisdom that might
| be gathered from the ciGuLlon given at
the head OF these lines.
| The writer OF the article in question,
if he be man Of fairness, must needs
control his enthusiasm for the certain
few that he prominently parades before
| the public, neglecting the many that
contributed to the success of"Ye Olde
| Folkes Concerto"
| 1t can not be denied thai the "con-
| cerp was a great success and indeed
Delhi has the talent and vim to make
any undertaking a success, yet the mar
row-mindedness of Mr.. e. b. iin accord
| ing the glory to few, and ringing in
one who is not there at all, eulogizing
him, and in fact setting him above his
peers, seems to be out of place, and
does injustice to majority VINO largely
| contributed to make the affair COM
plete success.
| Will Il. b. explain why this Is thus,
and expect to have a few more ques-
tions asked, if his answer is not salts
factory? PATIENCE PERKINS.

In consequence of some defect in ar.
rangements, the funeral OF Minnie Ar
VINE did not take place yesterday. II
takes place to-day at Asbury Chapel
There was a grieYous typographical err
ror in our notice yesterday. 1t should
have read California M. e. Sunday
school. We had view OF the corpse
this morning. Though beautiful in life,
she is still more beautiful in death. A
| large number OF her little school-matee
have called and taken the last look al
their little playmate. The whole village
sympathize with the bereaved parents
and relatives.
The Nonpareil Club met last night
